homeschooling buddies


Ethan came over today and we did school together. Nicholas enjoys doing Ethan's school with him. :) They are best buds! So here you see 1) Nicholas & Ethan; 2) Nicholas trying out the science experiment (we put shortening in a Ziploc, then another Ziploc inside that, to simulate blubber - like seals, polar bears and walruses have; then we put one hand in a regular Ziploc bag and the other hand in the blubber bag, then held them in ice water for 30 seconds. it was to see how the blubber keeps you warm.); 3) Daniel trying out the experiment (he said it didn't work so I told him he was part polar bear. Then he told the little boys he was going to eat them!).

For now....I could always put my kids hands on my stomach and show them my blubber.
