The Crazy Science Teacher...

 

So, for the few of you who are wondering what I do during the day...here are some pictures of our lab experiments in action!

Yes...those are eggs...yes we are studying the process of osmosis...cool stuff!

 

You may wonder what this is all about...yes it is a rotten tomato...yes it is sealed...yes there is another one in my dark closet...yes the students are observing and forming hyposthesis as to how it will look in June...Yes it is UBER cool!!!

 Next on task are our cell projects!!!  Man did they come out cool!

 And some of them we even were able to eat!!!

 Tis the season at the Charron household!  Yes, enjoying the leaves change color is beautiful around here, but man does it mean a ton of work once those leaves fall!!!

At least this year we have a little munchkin who is trying to help out as much as possible!  Thanks Riley!

 This little munchkin gets the best deal...sit back, relax and enjoy this beautiful day!!!  (don't mind the dog butts in the background!)

 

I had to put this one in...we are trying to have Riley work on that smile...she now says "cheese" everytime I have the camera up...if only her "cheese" wasn't so crazy!!!

 This I hope continues for life...Riley can't get enough of hugging her sister Maddie...sometimes we even need a little reminder to be gentle!!!  She tries so hard!!!

Yes, even with stomping the leaves down we still make at least 3-4 trips with the truck full of leaves!!!  Riley is our new 'stomper'!

A few videos to share...  Riley Stomping

Our hard worker.... http://youtu.be/HgnxzrAq3Ms

And the sounds of an infant...I just love her laughs!  http://youtu.be/mKGX7dZ0-nM

A busy weekend!!!

It all started with a fun trip Friday afternoon to Dad's office...they were decorated with spider webs and fellow co-workers in costume!  Pepe La Pew (or Flower for those of you who remember Bambi) was there for the event! http://youtu.be/VoewHa2iv0I

 And of course Maddie, our Monkey too!  We had to dress her in a tutu, just so that people knew she was a girl monkey...not a boy!

 Riley was intrigued by the auditors at Jay's company--- and they got a kick out of the nosy little skunk too!

 Next it was off to round 2!  The Trufant family invited us over for some pizza and a trip to Lexy's school to view their pumpkin extravaganza!  It was great times and great friends!

 These were all cut out by elementary school kids (or their parents) as a fund raiser!  It was a great and the perfect length for a 2 year old!

 My favorite "little stinker"!

 Ah....a shout out to my previous days as a Math teacher....

 Then off to Grandma and Grandpa's on Saturday...before the storm rolled in we went to Mansfield to run some errands...LLBean was swamped with people- Jason and I didn't know why and while standing in line a very nice woman reminded us of the impending storm that night...we didn't think it was a big deal, besides, it is only October, right?

 Everyone bunked in for a snow storm-- Riley made a bed to watch her favorite Beauty and the Beast! 

Well, the snow came down, and man it was heavy!  Trees were down, branches were covering roads, and funny, my parents haven't called in 6 hours...something must be wrong!! 


The storm dropped 13 inches of snow on Oma Sue and Goomba- leaving them without power, phones, or cell phones!  Dad must have been going nuts!

 All we ended up with was a little bit of snow!  Oh, and I got 2 snow days too!

 A break in the candy collection...a time with good friends at their christening...

Back to the action!!!  Halloween night we spent walking Jason's old haunts...a great neighborhood for trick or treaters!   http://youtu.be/FIM0rLI4TTg

I love this shot as I feel like singing, Skip to my Lou...

 
Maddie even had a great time too!!!

A lazy Sunday afternoon...

 After a crazy weekend last weekend, we enjoyed a lazy Sunday afternoon.  It was a perfect day to just relax with the kids and enjoy their entertainment.  We played with playdo, painted pumpkins, and watch some good old fashion movies!  It was perfect!

 

We even got a little fashion show!  With a little persuasion from Dad, Riley opted for the skunk outfit for Halloween and not the fairy outfit-- we figured this is our last year in control of this one!  So why not have it be a little sarcastic?  Love the heart that says "little stinker!"  We've even got her saying "PEE-EWW"!  Are we bad parents???

Big wedding day!

 Ah, the big day and all the planning is done!!!  Time to toast to the bride and groom!

 All the preparations falling in place...even a special visit from a Grandma...I am quite confident we made her day!

 On our way to the ceremony....

Yes, there were a few of us who made sure the complimentary bottle of champagne was not wasted!!!


What a great night of dancing and celebrating!!!  Well worth all the planning and organizing!
