Gone Fishing

What's That Mean?

The twins, dressed and playing Rainbow Fairies, are reading books about Delta Force and the Army Rangers. 

This Moment

{this moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see. -- via SouleMama

Knock Knock

Me: Knock, knock.

Twin J: Who's there?

Me: Lion.

Twin J: Lion who?

Me: Lion's don't say "who," Lion's say "ROAR!"

Twin J: Inuit.

Me: Inuit who?

Twin J: Inuits don't say "who," they say "Brrr!"

Air Rocket

I've been thinking a bit about how to introduce more science into the boys' lives.  I'm not sure how I stumbled onto the air rocket.  It may have been my perusing of Make Magazine.  The materials were less that $20 and it took 20 minutes to construct -- and that with three helpers. 

At this point I'm less interested in explaining to them the physics of things like rockets.  They aren't that interested in abstract ideas such as propulsion, gravity, and resistance.  They're more interested in stomping on a bottle and seeing how high they can propel a tube of paper.  I'm hoping that experiences like this stick with them and they find interest in learning how those things work when they're a bit older. 

They were interested in the rocket system for a couple of days, and then it was onto something else, but it was a fun couple of days.
