Wearin'-o-the-green

Finally... a snowman.

It took long enough into the season to get some good packin' snow in order to build a snowman, but I think it was worth the wait. Me, Dad and 'Pa built a pretty good one.

Fancy a spot of tea?

Dad was having some tea and I thought I'd try some. Mint tea sounded pretty good. As it turns out, it really wasn't my, uh, cup of tea.

It's a magic kingdom!

I went on vacation with Mom, Dad and aunt Jill to Disney World! It was way too much fun. We visited lots of places and saw tons of things, ate lots of yummy food and went on exciting rides. I want to move to the Magic Kingdom.

Kitchen science!

Start with a lemon, LCD watch, three wires, two forks, two zinc plates and some tape.
The forks act like the positive electrodes in a battery; plated with metal less reactive than zinc plates. So when forks and plates are inserted into the lemon, there is a chemical reaction that takes place. Electrons move from the zinc to forks, creating an electrical current! The juice in the lemon conducts electricity, making this current possible.

Ta-da! Lemon battery!

Snowtired

I had a snow day today and had a lot of fun playing outside. Digging tunnels and making a snow fort is tiring. I could fall asleep right here...

Drawing trucks

I filled the page with drawings of my Matchbox truck.

Volcano!

A little kitchen counter science with baking soda, vinegar and food coloring.

Fireside checkers

Checkers in front of a fire on a cold, snowy day.

Dentist time

Another excellent visit to the dentist. No cavities!
And I get to watch movies while I wait.
