Friday.

We woke up to phone calls at 4 am, warning us of a tsunami. We stayed glued to the tv and Internet to determine what to do. Jared was told to work from home, since his work was in the evacuate area.

After we felt safe, and danger passed, we headed to the park while Jared went to work for a couple hours.

This boy was ready to get OUT of the house!!!!



So was liv, she even drew a map to bring.



Ira was insistent We steer clear of anywhere that a "killer wave" could appear....



Serious.







So we went to a new park we had never been to.



Horse....







Cool stairs...







Kid sized monkey bars...



Ira said "look at the moon!" I said "yes it's shining bright". NO she said! "it's not even shining one bit! Its just reflecting the SUN!!!"



They finished the night up with lenticular puzzles...

Science Wednesday's

It started out a silly day... The unicorn club awarded some stickers for extra fancy dancing...


Puzzles....





Silly faces...








Then we watched beakmans world about water molecules... Which led us to the Internet.... Which led us to this awesome chemistry for kids site...














So we made hot cocoa and molecules...





Then we did an experiment.

Water molecules on the move...


Hot molecules move faster- so they mix the dye....


After 5 minutes...


Ira had me pull up a ton of experiments, so stay tuned!
