Carter and Gage Go Quading!

Last weekend, Carter went over to 'his friend's house' and got to play around on Gage's battery powered quad.  HE LOVED THE THING.  We may have to go shopping at Target.  

Aren't they cute?

Now, THAT'S Tired.

Clutching tight to his balloons, 

Still chewing his Ritz cracker sandwich.

Wow.

Matt and Mentos

So, last Friday, Matt had the day off.  He chose to spend his afternoon hanging out with my 4th graders, doing a science experiment.
I had never seen this before, but Matt knew all about it and was eager to show it to the kids.

Here's how it works...
Mentos in the top canister,
Pepsi 2-liter on the bottom.
Pull string attached to allow for the mentos to drop at a strategic moment.

Soda shoots higher than the rooftops and the kids react like they just saw a rocket launch.

Pretty sure they all went home and begged their parents to purchase soda and mentos that afternoon!

Morning Smiles!

Way Cool Mom.  Thanks!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

... Although we had some fun today!
