School, Scouts, and Legos

The boys have been busy at school learning and performing.  Each of them had a night for parents to come and hear about their projects.  Eli studied Food Waste and made a nice poster all by himself and prepared a presentation.  He did great!  He also performed songs with 2nd grade and we got to see some of his art.

He also did Pinewood Derby at cub scouts.  Unfortunately it didn't turn out very well.  The car didn't fit on the track, so he had to race an extra car that they had.  He was very upset!  I felt so bad for him, but was proud of him for racing the other car and trying to make the best of it.  We will have to make sure and follow the directions correctly next year. 

Diego had a kindergarten presentation this week about insects.  He studied praying mantises and shared what he learned with parents.  He did a great job and I think he felt proud of himself.  He also had a concert with all the kindergartners.  It was pretty cute.  

We participated in the library's lego contest and won the family category again!  This year's theme was Denver history.  It was Eli's idea to make the Stapleton air control tower.  We won a lego book.  

One night I sent Eli out with my phone to take some pictures of the tower so we could build our own.  He just had to walk to the corner; we live so close.  They are working on turning the building into Punch Bowl Social, a restaurant and game place including a bowling alley.  It supposed to open sometime this fall or winter.  We are excited!
