What did we learn today?

That it's illegal to have a Rooster (or Chickens) in our apartment complex, but it was cool to see, regardless. 

I kept hearing a rooster's call - thinking I was nuts, someone's ring tone who was outside...  etc and so on ... so I went out ...... and saw this .....

Waiting for animal control... 


It's amazing what happens around you ....

Homemade Bouncy Balls

So the boys made some "bouncy balls" by hand...  

This is the cheap kit we found.......  (keyword CHEAP)

Directions on the back....
We helped the kids put their "crystals" in the mold....
Then they had to soak in water for some time....

After that - we broke them out of the molds and trimmed them if they needed it ... this one is Noah's

Kaedyn's Ball


Nathan's ball

Then they had to dry for 24 hours .........   after that time, we pulled them down ...

Here is Noah's ball

We thought these would be great balls - bouncy and all that ...  nope, they didn't really bounce at all.  It was a fail - but it was fun!

Art Books

I wanted to share some fun art we did recently.  I found these books at our local grocery store for $1.25 on clearance so I got 6 of them... 3 for now, 3 for later....   it was black paper with designs under, and a special marker that rubbed the black off to expose the pattern under....

The first two are Noah's, then a Kaedyn drawing and Kaedyn drawing...   then we have three of Nathan's....
