Science!!!

This is a science experiment we did with the little kids today. I felt inclined to write about it so that my grandchildren will be impressed. Sorry that it is not exedingly scientific, but you can get the main idea.

Science experiment

What we used:
We used a big, gorgeous, round, orange globe filled with air (called a balloon), little round sassy pieces of paper (like this: O), and Jace’s head.

What we did:
We lifted up the protesting balloon and rubbed it vigorously through Jace’s shiny and silky hair. This caused his nicely combed hair to stand on end with horror. Then the balloon was deposited ungraciously into the air about two inches above the papers (I feel inclined to call them crazies). This caused the crazies to be torn away from their place on the table, screaming, and stick firmly to the thoroughly disgusted balloon.

What happened:
What happened when we rubbed the balloon through Jace’s hair was that the balloon immediately set about invading the hair. It captured all of the negative charges before we took it away. This made it quite negative (not that its attitude wasn’t already). The crazies, being positive, (and also quite crazy) were attracted to the balloon, but soon learned their mistake.

What we learned:
Positive is attracted to negative, even if it doesn’t want to be. Much like a prettty lady being attracted to a grumpy old man. Oh well.

Ugly People

This is a poem that I wrote. Hope that you like it.

UGLY PEOPLE
Ugly people are sad I'm sure
They feel so out of place.
I'm sure they don't enjoy the stares
Directed at their face

Their nose attracts attention
When they arive at a convention
They will always be this way,
There is nothing to do towards prevention

Weirdly shaped and oddly colored,
I'm speaking of their eyes
Just be glad that your not one,
To whom this poem applies

I posted this picture because I was bored and had nothing else to do. This is me.

MOM HAD THE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mom had the baby! It is a little girl. We don't have a name for it yet, because we all thought that it was going to be a boy, but we all think she is so cute! She weighed 8 pounds, 13 ounces, and was 21 and 3/4 inches. She has a teiny bit of darkish hair on the top of her head. We are so happy!

The playground

Who says playgrounds are for little kids?

Green Canyon

I am officially the worst updater of blogs in the whole world. Seriously. I haven't updated my blog since last September. I apologize. I'm sure there will be nobody to read this post because you have all stopped reading it long ago.
I just arived home after Green Canyon swim camp. Our family goes up to this swimming pool called Green Canyon every year. We camp up there for a week in our RV, and we take two swimming lessons a day, one from 9:oo to 10:00, then another one from 11:00 to 12:00. I had a blast.
We also do hikes, play capture the flag and other fun stuff. I would write more about it except I don't have the time. :) We also don't have any good pictures. :(
