Donovan's Science Fair Project

Donovan's school has included the kindergarteners in this years science fair. They state that parents are expected to help them. Really? I didn't think they'd be left to their own devices to get it done. Dono wanted to do something about ice melting.

We decided to see which would melt faster: an ice cube in pop or water?

Dono guessed the one in the pop. I thought so too.

Wrong! The water melted it much faster! The water cube melted in 10 min. The pop cube melted in 22 min. (The ice cubes were each from 2 TB of water and the drinks were each 1 cup of room temp. liquids) Very surprising! Does anyone know why? We have our theories, but don't know the real answer.

A close-up that you can sort of read better.

Good job Dono!

Smiling Moments

7-?-11 We were traveling to somewhere and the boys asked which way we were going. I told them that we were going to turn left. Then from the back seat, Roswell pipes up "Mommy, choose the right! When the choice is before us, choose the right!" I'm glad someone is listening. :)
5-21-11 While watching Daddy race, Elliott says, "Mommy, I know which one Daddy is. He's the one with a peach face." I think they all had peach colored skin that day, but I'm glad he could tell Daddy apart.
5-4-11 Roswell has been saying "no" to everything we say lately, just to be difficult (terrible twos). Usually I just put on a pouty face and look sad and he will smile and say "ok, mommy!" and do what he's supposed to. Today, I did the pouty face when he wouldn't eat his dinner, and instead of telling me he would take a bite he says, "don't be mad, be glad!" and then laughs. It was so funny. Apparently the glad trash bag commercials have been reappearing and the kids have seen it. I guess the pouty faces aren't going to work anymore.
