- Something super exciting just happened.
(relaxed music)
- [Jeremy] The sunset?
- It's pink.
♪ Baby Jesus, we love you ♪
(relaxed music)
- So the kids are playing
and the house is quiet, but not quiet
like their voices are muffled.
I'm like, where are they?
Check out where I found 'em.
(upbeat music)
- [Elise] Roller coasters.
- Okay.
- Oh, hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.
- [Kendra] Hi, guys.
- [Isaac] This is my perch.
- [Kendra] I can see you've got a perch up there.
- Yeah.
- [Kendra] And you guys are eating raisins.
- And we're interviewing them.
- [Kendra] What are these?
Are these bunny ears?
- Yeah.
- This is our hideout.
(thumping)
- [Kendra] What are you guys hiding from?
- You.
(chuckles)
- [Isaac] Well, not really.
We're just kind of having fun.
- We're just having fun.
- [Kendra] You're just sitting?
- We're in an interview.
- [Isaac] We're just talking
and doing interviews and doing polls and all that.
- [Kendra] Interviews and polls?
- Uh huh.
- [Kendra] Alright.
Have fun.
- Bye.
(laughs)
- [Isaac] What was your feelings
between a roller coaster and a--
- Well, the decluttering continues.
I spent a couple hours already this morning working on it
and I went through several boxes of homeschool stuff
and boxes and boxes of books.
Books are hard 'cause you don't wanna keep 'em around
if you're not using 'em,
but you also want to keep them because they're books.
Something super exciting just happened.
I mean, this is huge.
This is really, really big.
- You clogged the toilet?
- That's not what I'm talking about right now.
So Jeremy and I just made a really big,
life-changing decision for our family
and I think we just finalized it.
This is getting so real.
Unfortunately, we can't quite share it with you guys yet.
We need one or two more things to get signed
and be like super official,
but this is really exciting,
so stay tuned for in a day or two.
Hopefully, really soon we're able to share with you guys
what's going on and the decision we made
and the big change that's gonna be for our family.
(sighs)
Jeremy's excited too.
- Go team.
- [Kendra] He just doesn't look excited right now.
Why don't you look excited right now?
- Because we have a lot to get done
in a short amount of time
because of the decision that we made.
- [Kendra] So you're feelin' overwhelmed?
- Yep.
- He's goin' to work.
Bye, Jeremy.
And I'm so excited.
I cannot stop smiling about it or thinking about it
or daydreaming about it.
Everything's starting to fall together
and we're feeling so good about it.
I love that feeling, but there is so much to get done
and to get ready for that I'm just,
gah, it's hard to focus on regular things
like what to cook for dinner and regular life.
So we're starting a new science curriculum
called Introduction to Energy.
It's from The Good and the Beautiful.
And there's Isaac.
(laughing)
You ready?
Ready for lesson two?
- Yeah, I'm excited.
- Not all energy is the same.
There are many different forms of energy on the Earth
and throughout the universe.
- What's that mean?
- Let's find out.
Ready?
- Huh.
- [Kendra] Small particles
that make up all substances on the Earth.
- [Kids] Atoms.
- Atoms.
And how big are atoms?
- Teeny tiny.
- Tiny.
- Teeny tiny.
Can we see them?
- [Kids] No.
- What would we have to use if we wanted to see one?
- A very good telescope.
- A very good microscope.
- Microscope.
- So, Caleb, a telescope is what we use to see far away
like the stars and the planets.
A microscope is what we use to see really small things.
So what we're gonna do right now is build atoms.
- Just like Adam and Eve.
- Yep.
Just like Adam and Eve.
(laughing)
Alright, everybody choose
three different colors of Play-Doh.
(rattling)
Now, we are going to build an atom.
- That's impossible because they're so small
you can barely, you can't even see 'em.
- That's a good point.
We're gonna build a replica of an atom.
- Oh.
- I built an atom.
It's right here.
(chuckles)
- Someone just woke up from a nap.
- [Kendra] She's got some good bed head.
I don't think she's even blinked.
- We're takin' a bath.
Hopefully, she survives this milk drink.
- [Kendra] I'm just waiting for the blink.
There it was.
- There.
- [Kendra] There it was.
- Say, "Hello."
(laughing)
(relaxed music)
- How many do we have to make?
- [Kendra] Three or four of this color.
Laura, you're doin' awesome.
(relaxed music)
So this is our first time using this science curriculum
and what I really like is it's open and go.
So I literally don't have to prepare.
- [Laura] Mom, Mom.
- I'm just ready to go
and I like that there's activities for all ages.
- [Laura] Mom, Mom, Mom.
(upbeat music)
- We're like trying to get heat.
- She's tryin'.
Alright, so these two colors
represent your protons and your neutrons.
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take them
and put them together and make them into one ball.
They are the nucleus or the center of the atom.
(relaxed music)
So these tiny ones are called electrons
and they go around the atom.
- Okay.
- So what are these ones called?
- A nucleus. - Electrons.
The nucleus is in the center and what's around the outside?
- [Kids] Electrons.
- Electrons.
So Laura, what goes around the outside of the atom?
- Electric.
- [Kendra] Electrons.
- Mom, does everything in the world have atoms?
- [Kendra] Yes, absolutely everything.
- Even buildings?
- [Kendra] Yep, even buildings.
- And paint?
- [Kendra] Yes.
Atoms are so teeny tiny
that they make up absolutely everything in the world.
(gasps)
- Oh.
- That means like if they're so teeny tiny,
like this big could fit in like 300 thousand of them.
- [Kendra] Yeah, they're very, very small.
- [Both] Hop, hop, hop like a bunny.
Hop, hop, hop like a bunny.
(squealing)
- You're a bunny.
♪ Leap like a froggy ♪
♪ Leap, leap, leap like a froggy ♪
- [Isaac] You want to jump?
- Janae is fussy right now
and Isaac and Elise are the best big brother and sister ever
because they are singing her one of her favorite songs:
the hop-like-a-bunny song.
We found these bunny ears today
and girlfriend has been obsessed.
♪ Hop, hop, hop like a bunny ♪
- [Kendra] Jump.
Give it a good jump.
- [Isaac] Get a good jump.
(thumping)
- [Kendra] Jump.
Oh, that was a good one.
Almost.
Nae-nae, go.
Jump.
- [Isaac] Jump.
(thumps)
- [Kendra] She's tryin'.
She's tryin'.
She's gonna jump.
(thumps)
She's gonna do it.
Bend those knees.
Her poor headband keeps fallin' off.
And jump.
- [Isaac] And jump.
(laughing)
You're in space.
(laughing)
It's like the squat.
- [Kendra] Good job, Nae-nae.
Jeremy has been having a riveting day reviewing contracts.
How many hours a week, do you guess,
that you review contracts?
- 10, 15 hours a week reviewing contracts.
- You know, I feel bad for him
because contracts are so boring.
I can't imaging doing that for 10 to 15 hours a week,
but he chose this.
He's a lawyer.
- So the negotiation part of it is what's fun.
Finding the pieces that don't work or that you want changed
and then giving a good reason why it should be changed.
Like the back-and-forth is actually kind of fun.
For nerds.
- [Kendra] He's a crazy person.
(laughing)
Really, Jeremy was a trial attorney.
He really likes trial.
- That's true.
- So sometimes when you're decluttering,
you find treasures and I found this today in a box.
I remember when we bought it
and then we ended up never using it.
So I'm totally gonna set it up tonight
and we're gonna have a dance party.
As I'm decluttering the house, that's one of the things
I'm doing is I'm putting things in a pile
and the theme of the pile it use it or lose it.
Like if I don't use this in the next month,
then I'm just gonna donate it.
So it's kind of exciting
'cause it's making me want to use all my stuff.
(piano music)
- I'm really excited about this song.
- [Jeremy] It's a great song.
Sounds good.
♪ Don't stop believin' ♪
(upbeat music)
Do you see the sunset?
- It's pink.
- [Jeremy] Look how fast the clouds are moving, you guys.
- [Elise] I love the fall sunsets.
- [Jeremy] The camera just doesn't pick it up.
- [Elise] The clouds almost look like cotton candy.
(light music)
- So big news.
Elise got one of the--
(chattering)
Oh, my hood.
My hood.
- Do you do?
- I can't vlog and hold her and...
Is that better?
(grunts)
Mmm hmm, we're good now.
Elise got a solo for the Christmas concert
that they're doing at school.
Let's hear it.

I wasn't expecting you to actually sing it.

She just like busted it out.
- So the day we got back from Arizona,
she had to audition for it and she got a solo.
I'm so happy for her.

- So the Twenty One Pilots concert I'm going to
is coming up in just a couple weeks.
I'm really excited.
I would love to hear in the comments
any concerts that you've gone to before.
So we've been out of town so much that we've missed
some of our favorite Kansas City restaurants.
This is Jose Pepper's.
It's pretty good Mexican food.
(relaxed music)
Smells so good.
(relaxed music)
- So Caleb and I are packing their lunches
for school tomorrow and I realized
that I'm out of Ziploc bags,
so we're having to get really creative.
Here's the Cheez-Its in just like the rest of the bag.
Luckily, it was almost gone.
All the carrots are in these little Tupperware containers.
Caleb gets pretty much the entire bag of this.
(laughing)
You're pretty excited about that?
- Yeah, because it's cinnamon sugar.
- [Kendra] So just bring back home my clip, okay?
- Okay.
- And the only bags that I have for the sandwiches
are these giant Ziplocs.
Looks like I need to go shopping.
Well, it fits.
- Well, a little big.
I'll fold this a little like that.
- [Kendra] That makes sense.
- Like that.
Now, it's very safe from rats, like literally.
- [Kendra] Literally safe from rats.
Glad to hear it.
- Yeah.
(grunting)
We have three different kinds
of peanut butters in our house.
We have one crunchy, one creamy,
and three, the one for celiac.
So there's a poll.
Which one do you like most?
(singing)
(laughing)
- [Jeremy] The hiding camera maneuver.
- I know that trick.
- I was like hiding the camera behind me
trying to capture Mom's goodness.
- I was doin' a little dance move.
- [Jeremy] We're tryin' to motivate them
to get their 'jamas on.
- We gotta get everybody to get ready for bed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get ready, get ready.
Who, who likes spaghetti?
- [Jeremy] You guys, if you don't get your jams on,
Mom's gonna rap again for you.
- I like Jose Pepper's.
- [Jeremy] It's so good, huh?
Isaac has been like lovin' the chips and salsa.
- [Kendra] Isaac likes spicy stuff.
- [Jeremy] Elise, not so much, huh?
- [Kendra] Or me.
- [Jeremy] Nae-nae likes spicy.
- [Isaac] Spicy.
Spicy.
- [Jeremy] And she's off.
