And now...a birthday visit....

Friday we had C's friend from Soaring Eagles come for the night and Saturday.

Imagine if you will...One child is home schooled, the other attends a 21st Century Charter School. Both LOVE what they are doing. They were talking so fast about school that neither one heard the other...then the spent the weekend making paper airplanes!

But A was interested in C's school so C saved science to do when his visitor was here. As luck would have it, that science lesson included a lab!


They had a lot of fun with the balloon and yeast lab...and yeah, if you add a LOT of yeast, sugar and water to a bottle then put a balloon over the end, the balloon will expand so much it blows off...do you want to know how I know this? But they learned and had fun and MOST of the mess was outside the door! As you can tell, he is completely thrilled that I am taking his picture here and put on his best "I am interested in what I am doing here look".

Oh, and then he and A made a stuffed crust pizza for lunch and had a lot of fun with that...and apparently, one pizza is not enough when you have 3 hungry boys to feed and a hungry dad! He will have to make 2 next time.
