A Day In My Life

Want to do a cool science experiment?? Pour 8 ounces of grape juice (not cocktail... the real stuff) into a tallish, skinny glass. Set the glass in something to catch the "eruption." Add 4 spoonfuls of baking soda, and stir: Pour in 4 spoonfuls of white vinegar: Watch it erupt! The girls LOVED this... This experiment brought back sweet college memories of a prank using liquid dish soap, a garbage can full of hot water, and 13 pounds of dry ice in someone's kitchen... :)

I've never celebrated St. Partick's Day more than wearing a little green. But now, I think it's one of my favorite holidays! Harvey and I both wore green today, and although Rylie wouldn't wear a green shirt, I talked her into wearing a shirt with some rainbows on it. Close enough. I told her that leperchauns were pretty tricky and to watch out for any tricks they were going to play on us. For lunch we had Spongebob mac and cheese, and after I added all the ingredients, Rylie got to stir. I snuck in some green food coloring and as she stirred it turned green! At first she thought it was because of the Spongebob version, and made me try it first. Then I offered her some milk... I put a couple drops of green food coloring in the bottom of her glass, and then poured the milk - it turned green in the cup right before her eyes. "Oh! Those tricky little leperchauns!" she said. It was great! (sorry the pic is blurry) We made lime Jell-O...

Every Halloween we have a party with Justin's family, and I always volunteer to bring dessert. (As I mentioned in a previous post.. I LOVE dessert) but I also love to make seasonal crafty desserts as well. This year, I decided to make skeleton cupcakes - and they were super easy!
