Avi - 03/17/2021

Avilene ate whole wheat toast and grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate pork roast, whole wheat tortillas, two servings of carrots, and three servings of fruit salad. (Just a strawberry/mango mix.) I noticed Atley was kind of pouting after seeing and listening to Avi and Svea when they arrived with St Patty tattoos. Atley said, "I wish I could be cool like you guys!!" :)

Today was a fun day with "Science with Lauralea." The theme today was "rainbows." So many different ways to make rainbows. I'll just give you a brief explanation of the pictures I took and you'll get an idea what we did. Picture: 1. We used a flashlight and water in a glass to create a rainbow on the wall in a dark room. The light from my camera temporarily messed it up, but I like Nora and Svea's eyes. Haha. We also made a rainbow using a flashlight and old CD disc. Picture 2. Black construction paper submerged in warm water, nail polish drop into the water, after a few seconds bring the paper out of the water. The end result is pretty cool and it's getting more cool as the paper dries. I took picture (5) to give you an idea. (Sorry these are out of order!)

Picture 3. We did two different experiments with the kids mixing the "ingredients." They were similar, but I'll list them. When we were done we'd put them in two different jars and they'd separate into a nice rainbows. a.) vegetable oil, corn syrup, food coloring, water, marble, grape, lego, And mix.  Next one - b.) Styling gel, karo syrup, dish soap, olive oil, water, food coloring, alcohol, mix together.  Picture number 4. This was simply some skittles arranged in a circle on a plate with a bit of water and we watched the process. They asked if they could take the skittles home. Haha. No. I heard you all talking about eating lucky charms and chocolate money for breakfast already so that's enough sugar! Haha.
