You can see why there has been no school and no work for the McKenzie family this past week! Even Steven got the chance to opt out of work for a couple of days.
What do people do when they are snowed in? A 2000-piece puzzle, of course. Actually, we did that puzzle over Christmas break but I forgot to post it earlier, so I thought I'd sneak it in now, clever person I am.
National History Day presentations finally arrived. Michael chose not to enter the competitive part, although if you saw his poster, you know he'd have advanced to the next round. 100% confident of that.
In science, Michael and his group created a beautiful, efficient marble roller coaster. All three class trials worked! He brought it home and Elizabeth and I liked picking out (and eating) candy that we thought would work during the videotaping for the blog, as marbles were really heavy and thus made the trial last only 1 second. Check out the video Michael and Steven made with catchy background music. Cherry candies make the trials last 3 seconds - you're welcome!
Zoe continues to do what she does best - hang out in front of the pantry awaiting treats. 
Niki and Michael are showing you the paper chain that counts down the days until I get to go to LAS!!!
And here's Elizabeth!!!
