Miss Megan turned 11 years old this past Thursday (6 March). We were so surprised that we nearly forgot to get any presents for her. In fact, celebrations didn’t even begin until that evening. In the morning we went to the Logan Library, where Erin had her weekly Storytime, and then the afternoon was filled with the annual Cache Valley Homeschool Science Fair. Megan presented her experiment with Brine Shrimp (she tested the effect of different salinity levels on hatching success) and Ian displayed his homemade Weighing Machine. Both of them received participant ribbons, and Megan was one of the few who received a special recognition award for her project. (Due to the chaos of the day, Mom forgot to bring the camera and is still waiting to get photos from another mother.)
When we finally arrived home, Mom and Dad were able to make Megan's traditional bacon-spinach birthday quiche and a homemade chocolate cake (with no frosting--Megan isn't a frosting fan). We ate a late dinner, opened presents, and ate cake and raspberry sherbet.
Birthday celebrations continued the following day when Megan had a party with her good friends Emily and Amelia. While the children played, Mom and Dad made spinach-alfredo pizza (Megan’s second dinner request). After dinner Mom & Ian went to karate while Dad and the girls (including Erin) went ice skating. Emily decided ice skating was not her favorite sport. Erin liked being pushed in her stroller across the ice and also enjoyed shuffling along in her boots. Megan and Amelia had fun and showed improvement throughout the night. Post-ice skating we ate chocolate cupcakes and finished the sherbet. You would think that crazy, sugar-filled friends would then stay up all night for the sleepover, but perhaps the skating had worn them out—it was a quiet night.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEGAN!!!
