FM Radio

We came home from Crossfit today and Chris asked me to help him with his snap kit again. I told him to look through the book and decide on what he wanted to make first. He immediately found the FM radio.

Chris really liked the radio. In fact this is how he sat until dinner listening to it.
After dinner Chris and Dad took the radio apart to make something else and then put the radio back together so Chris could take it to his room and listen to it before bed.

I am curious to see how long this snap kit is exciting. To me it seems just like the Lego's he enjoys...put something together following directions. Only with these you can use the same exact pieces to make something completely different.

AM Radio

We made an AM Radio out of Chris' snap kit. As a bonus you can watch me getting annoyed with the boys since I obviously don't know how to stop recording on the Ipad.

Jump Rope for Heart

Chris is participating in the Jump Rope for Heart to benefit the American Heart Association. He has already been to Ken's work twice to ask for donations and plans to go back again. I am proud that he is working hard to raise money.

Chris and His Hair

This morning it was a huge surprise to me when Chris told me he didn't want to get his hair cut and was growing it long. He then got a picture of how he was going to have his hair.
Just like Anakin Skywalker.

Good thing it will take a few years to get his hair that length and lacrosse is only about a month away. Maybe his longer hair will make him sweat so much he will want to get it cut.
