4th of July, 2nd try and fun with levers...

This morning after the kids were done with school I let them do playdough. By the way I'm pretty sure I'm the only mom that LOVES playdough! Ha ha ha! He got a shape cutter thing stuck in the little cup and couldn't get it out so I showed him how to make a lever with a Playdough knife to get it out. Well after that his little mind started workin. He wanted to make a "giant" lever to lift up bigger things. There was no stopping that crazy kid. After lifting up my couch,chair,entertainment center, foot stool, heater, coffee table, rykers crib, pipers bed, his bed, trash can and side table, he decided he wanted to go BIG..... "Lets go lift up DAD!!"  so we went to bedroom were the unsuspecting dad lay asleep. Soon we had our lever placed and Donnie was getting quite the exciting wake up call while LD preceded to jack up our bed with Donnie in it. Probably one of the best science lessons a kid could have is successfully ticking off your dad while lifting them up with a giant lever!

Working on his addition and subtraction while I time him.

Our mini lever that started it all

His giant lever.

Well the 4th of July was good to the Davis farm.We had a great time with Donnie's family and the rain was nice. When we got home we had lots of fun with fireworks, well...all of us but piper. she had a little run in with a sparkler it burned through her shirt and burned her stomach. Why she didn't notice a sparkling ball of fire burning through her shirt before it hit her skin is still a mystery to me.

Waiting to start fireworks

Awwww hangin out with Gramps

Just when you.....

thought it was safe......

To celebrate the 4th of July. We call this, When Sparklers Attack!!!!!!!

Got her belly pretty good.

And ruined her shirt.....

Also, We gave cutting my hair a 2nd chance after talking to Erica(Donnie's sister) who cuts her own hair. Needless to say it was quite interesting BUT it turned out awesome! So... no more paying for hair cuts for Mrs. Davis!

Here we go again...

It makes me nervous that my hairstylist is.......

making a grilled cheese while he cuts my hair. He was doing this between cuts... REALLY MAN???!!!!

BUT, it turned out actually really good!

Here's the back. We actually cut it a little shorter after this pic but it's still pretty much looks like this.
