Science Sunday: Happy Father’s Day

Ordinarily, I’d be writing a science post, and I had great intentions of it, but instead I want to brag on my husband because it’s Father’s Day, and I didn’t write my usual anniversary post.

You see this past week the boys have been at camp, and Princess has had a friend staying with us.  Most of the week it’s been all smiles, parts of the week there has been tears, and bits of the week there has been arguments.

Then came Friday.  I spent Thursday night sick as a dog.  I mainly remember doing a lot of running to the bathroom as my dinner tried its’ best to come back up.  I don’t really remember much of Friday.

Being the awesome husband and father that he is, Jeff took the day off of work.  Then he took the girls to the grocery store and got food to feed them for the day.  He came back in and updated me on the proceedings, to which I grunted.  Then he entertained them all day long.

Two girls.  Two VERY girly girls.  Who, I’m sure spent large amounts of time giggling, and squealing, and being noisy.

Then he drove those two very hyper girls for over an hour to pick the boys up from camp, while I lay in bed semi-comatose.  I’m told they both fell asleep very quickly.  Then he drove back with all 3 of my kids, who were all very hyper, I know this because when the boys got home at 9 something that night, I was rather out of it, but they were very talkative.

Now, I know some of you are saying, “He’s your husband that’s what he should do, or that’s what Dad’s do,” and you’re right.  That’s what GOOD Dads do, and GOOD husbands do.

So, I just want to brag on my husband, and say “thank you for being a good Dad.”  The kind of Dad that my kids love to spend time with.  The kind of Dad that Princess can’t wait to give her present to.  The kind of Dad that the boys tried to finagle giving your present to early because they’re that excited by it.  The kind of Dad who wrestles with his kids in bed.  Thank you.

Let’s see what others did this week:

Each week I’m spotlighting a few posts that were shared previously.  Many posts get linked up later in the week and they don’t always get as many clicks as they deserve, so I’m trying to spotlight a few every week.

I really want to try this experiment from High Hill Homeschool now, it looks so cool.  Come see how to make an orange candle.

I am sure next year for anatomy we will be exploring fingerprints at some point, and Buggy and Buddy created a nice printable for this, so I won’t have to.

One of the perks about hosting is I get to discover new blogs that write about science, here’s a great example Eva Varga’s blog.  This week she shared their insect study.  Love that milkweed bug drawing.

Over at Our Worldwide Classroom she shared a wonderful set of animal kingdom printables.
