Cabela's with Grandpa

Grandpa Knight went with Keith and the boys to Cabela's a few weekends ago, they had a good time looking at the fish and watching Carson at the shooting gallery.


I love Tucker's expression in this one, he looks like he's discovered something new.

I guess Grandpa Knight is impressed with Carson's aim!

Using Lentils


So I put some old lentils in a bowl and let the boys play with measuring spoons and such while I made dinner one night. Carson really enjoyed it, and Tucker did for a few minutes and then started eating them.



This is an ACTION shot, as you can see the little lentils in midair as Tucker tries a spoonful.



I missed our first big snowstorm before Christmas, so I was happy to see lots of snow today! You can kind of see the flakes coming down.

Discovering Reactions




Both cups started out purple, and changed colors as citric acid and baking soda were added. Then the purple cup on top was both red and blue combined.




Carson got a science experiment kit from his Aunt Andrea for Christmas, so we pulled it out today and did an activity with acids and bases. Tucker looks like he's totally into it in these pictures, but they were all taken after the experiment was over. He wanted to touch everything, of course, and got mad when I told him 'no'. But Carson and I had a good time watching the bubbles and colors.
