Boring Summer

In desperation, after much sulking and slamming of doors and stomping around,
etc... I decided to get out the project book and let the kids pick somethings to
do. Jarom had a friend over and they were engrossed on the computer so that left
the other three plus Brienna (Kayleen's friend).

It began with the vinegar and baking soda experiments and progressed to the "what else can we mix with it? stage.

Following that cleanup, we moved to "what does Mom have in the basement" and the wood sculptures were created!

We painted with a failed corn starch experiment and the fun continued until we began to run our of supplies. Now I guess I get to clean up - but you know what? For a while there I heard very little fighting and no one said "I'm bored!"
