The Return of Weird Science

Our series Weird Science continued this morning with more fun doing all kinds of experiments.  Last week, we saw people's weights on other planets and did some neat things with dry ice.  This week, we made a volcano and did a little experiment with hydrogen peroxide that you see in this photo attached.  As we talked about "walking by faith and not by sight," we had fun with some neat optical illusions that fool the eyes - it's been a pretty fun series for the kids.  We've even had some showing up in lab jackets, which is pretty neat.  Despite Daddy's condition, things have been going along swimmingly thus far, which is good to see of course.  Madison went to church as well, and had a great time, even making Mommy a Mother's Day card.

Yes, today was Mother's Day.  It's yet another day that Daddy needs to make up for.  He's certainly been down for the count as of late, but at least things do seem to be on the mend.  Tomorrow is a visit to a specialist, which should hopefully give us more detail about how to get better quicker.

Today we did some board games with Madison, and another thing she's been really into for the past week is this:  comics.  Since seeing "The Avengers" last week with Mommy, Daddy has been into reading a few comic books from his collection this week.  A long time ago, I picked up some other comics for a younger audience - ones from the Cartoon Network and some Disney comics as well.  This week, Madison has been very into these comics.  Today, she had Daddy read the "Dexter's Laboratory" comic to her a few times in fact.  There's a particularly funny one with a "Are Too" robot that Dexter creates.  Madison and Daddy have been going back and forth with that one all day.

With Nana and Ba-Ba here, it's been great for Madison.  She's having exciting, full days - despite the tremendous amount of rain we've been getting.  You should have seen it today.  If you were looking for a definition of the word "deluge," today would have nailed it down just right.

Tomorrow will be a little busy with doctor's visits and some work at the old house, but overall nowhere near as long as today.  Sundays are always a little long, starting out quite early and going from there.  Today was one of those days, but it was fun all the way through.  Madison makes it that way!
