boys and girls

What started out as a science project, turned into a study on the differences in boys and girls. To me that has been one of the most interesting things about having a boy and two girls. Seeing just how different they are.

For science we are studying the skeletal system and for our project the kids had to make little guys (or girls) out of clay. The first figure had no "bones", we had to see what would happen to us if God had not given us our bones. The next step was to add our bones (toothpicks) and see if this was better for our guys. The kids had fun playing with the clay, making their guys and seeing the results.

After it was all said and done they wanted to just play with the clay. So I let them and they had a little more fun.

Andy's guy...
Poor guy, he needs some bones...
Ellyn's girl, with bones...Much better

Ellyn's free time with clay. What a cute picture. Such a girl...
And yes here is Andy's...What is a mom to do? Just enjoy having a boy I guess.
