we were talking about the effect of smoking and L said, “If there was a pill like microphage and neutrophil white blood cells that eat bacteria, we could put the pill in water, wait until it evaporates, then drink it, then it eats up the smoky stuff in the lungs”.
I really didn’t know what to say. cute. then I had to look it up.

A good friend of mine just sent me this video on youtube and I had to share it here. It’s all about being who you are and inspiring others to do the same too. Kind of goes along with my previous post a bit, I think.
Kids are the most wonderful of people and geez, God bless them, because if it wasn’t for them and their moxy I think we would all give up. We are born whole and ready for anything, wearing our emotions on our sleeves and showing our true heart but somewhere along the way, we become human.
I guess that’s the downside of growing up and not always having valuable and consistent role models, those who are inspired and inspiring. I try, everyday, to instill blessed values on my children, and they get it. But, I have to do it everyday so that when the human world of greed, ego and selfish-self-righteousness rears its ugly head they will be strong enough to already know who they are and know that all creatures are precious and no life is worth less than another. That goes for our fragile and amazingly precious Mother Earth.

“No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry. All admit irregularity as they imply change; and to banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality. All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed, that the law of human life may be Effort, and the law of human judgment, Mercy.”
–John Ruskin

After a busy day of brain stimulation breaking out the art supplies just before bed seems to calm the masses.
Love it.
The boys have been enjoying their solar kits that they received from Santa. Here’s just one of the many things they can make. Very cool. They had to make a gear box and use wires for polarity. Fun learning!
Lessons were cut short today when our wonderful mail carrier (who happens to be a new grandpa to a 10lb baby boy!) delivered a late-in-coming gift. I love that. It makes the holidays feel as if they aren’t over.
Of course, the boys had to finish lunch first.????
Thank you, Aunt and Uncle!
Today we are doing more science experiments. We have been using The Usborne Big Book of Science Things to Make and do. It’s a great book for fun and fast experiments.
We have some colored water I’m the freezer soon to become winter boats for our frigid -10 weather today! Brrr!
Then we took two glasses (please ignore the shape) filled with vinegar, food coloring, sprinkles and dish soap. Hmmm…sounds like fun, right?
We placed the cookie sheet under the glasses for containing the brew to come. The boys each got a heaping spoonful of baking soda and added it to the glasses. Holy excitement!
It’s always fun making a bubbly brew, isn’t it?
Enjoy your day. We are off to make sun catchers!
