Avilene had no waffle ("ate one at home") and ate three servings of fruit salad for breakfast. For lunch she ate ground turkey, whole wheat tortillas, sweet potatoes, and three servings of cherries.
This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon when Avi was working on a puzzle. Atley said, "It's a massage and Avi says it feels good." :) Maybe they're in a puzzle competition and Atley is trying to relax her puzzle partner. :)
Note before we get into the Science pictures; Lauralea left immediately for Plains when she was done with this; dealing with an aging Parents situation. So this was a bit shorter than usual and nothing to take home, but the kids had a blast. Ha! (Pun intended!!) Theme for Science with Lauralea today was "eruptions." Basically two experiments; The first one was "elephant's toothpaste" and the kids loved that title. It was a mixture of yeast, water, hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and food coloring. So this experiment ended up being a dud, but as you can see by the first picture Lauralea made her own eruption!! Haha. (I think the yeast may have been too old.) The second experiment involved four bottles of soda and the kids guessed which one would produce the best eruption using mentos!! "root beer, orange, cola, 7-up." Lauralea made a paper funnel and used that for funneling several mentos into the bottle and getting back quickly. The best part of the morning: Lauralea's funnel got too wet so she tried to use her hand and she got wet!! The kids roared and laughed! They thought that was the greatest thing ever. Hahaha.
