Science Time
Ray came home early from work yesterday which is always a welcomed surprise since his days usually vary from 12 to 14 hour days with all the driving he is doing this quarter. He entertained all of us with fun science tricks. He showed Kate how string can stick to ice when you sprinkle salt on it - I remember doing that at the Seattle Science Center when I was little. And we now have crystals growing in jars (Kate thinks they are going to grow into jewels for her to put in her jewelry box, I hope she's not disappointed). And of course he had to show her how to make a volcanoe. This morning she asked me if I had any tricks to show her like Dad did. I'm glad she had fun. I'll have to come up with more fun things to show her. Any ideas out there? I was thinking she would like that goop that looks wet but feels dry. I don't remember how to make it, maybe with cornstarch???

Goop recipe: Cornstarch and water. Just add enough water to get desired texture. We made it all the time at the daycare. I'm so glad that Ray was able to come home early and play with Kate!! Those days are the best!
You could look up the egg getting sucked into the bottle trick. I don't think that one is very complicated.

"Wow, that's a neat trick. Who had to clean up that big mess. Maybe next time you come to Grandma and Grandpas house you could teach me that trick. At school I had a paper plate and put a color on it and then only 2 drops of water and tiped it from side to side and it showed us which two colors made that color." ?? (she really wanted to share that with Kate :)) We miss you Kate and Jack.
Thanks for all the good ideas. I think we'll try all of them.
