Sad news about an egg

On day 7 of our experiment, as we got ready for the big moment (dropping the vinegar marinated raw egg into a bowl to see if it bounces) the egg slips from Wuggie's hand onto the floor. It did not bounce. It splatted. We were very sad. At least we contributed to science.

Glowing Bouncing Egg!


Did you know that if you soak an egg in vinegar for 7 days it will bounce
when you drop it into a bowl? You can also while you are waiting for 7 days if you get bored take a flashlight and the egg and go into a really dark room. Next shine the flashlight onto the egg. The Egg will glow, just like in this picture. (Wuggie)

Let's Get Fizzy


In this experiment we put out a lit candle by combining vinegar and Baking Soda in the bottom of this jar. It even put out the candle we tried to re-light our candle with! (You can see the tiny blue glow here of the candle being put out by the carbon dioxide gas built up in the jar.)

Bubble Experiment


Look we made a bubble in a bubble!
But we couldn't make a bubble in a bubble in a bubble (like "101 Cool Science Experiments" said we were supposed to)

Froggie Honey Crumple Thumpkin

Today Wuggie was experimenting in the kitchen (eating that is) and he (he and Ma that is) invented "Froggie Honey Crumple Thumpkin." You can make this if you want S'Mores and don't have graham crackers.

Melt marshmallows and chocolate chips in the microwave for 20 seconds on Medium
It will poof up in a giant poof!
Then mix it
Then pour over Annie's Bunny Honey Grahams
Top with more Bunny Grahams

Dig in!

Then eat some real food before you get sick (says Ma)

Ice Day

Today Wuggie and I made lunch, packed the backpack, put on our snowboots, scraped the ice off the car and drove up to school. No traffic. No crossing guards. No school.

I hadn't even checked the news to see if school was closed because there was no snow. I didn't know you could have an ice day. We drove home and turned on News10Now. No school! We did the dance of joy and Wuggie is building a Hot Wheels race track while I write my sermon. Dad made hash browns to celebrate.

Nights of New Year

Wuggie Norple would like you to know that on 12/31/08 he stayed up until the very end of the year, and into 2009. He and his 2 young friends drank themselves silly on Red and Pink "Champagne" and stayed up to watch the ball drop. He says "it wasn't like I thought."

Happy New Year!
