All About EGGS!

I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted! I was on such a good run and then my card reader for my camera to the computer broke, or should I say was broken. Anyways I have a few posts that I have been wanting to put up here for a while. Now that my sweet hubby has replaced my card reader we are back in business; bear with me...long post ahead.
First order of business: EGGS!We have been learning and experimenting with eggs for 3 weeks now along with the book Green Eggs and Ham, and wouldn't you know we planned it (I wish I could say it was on purpose) so that it fell in between St. Patrick's day and Easter!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, SAM-I-AM!This is my sweet sister Katrina who came as Sam-I-Am on St. Patrick's day to make green eggs and ham for us. And, oh boy, were they green! Spencer and Rachel and there buddies Trenton and Tyler had so much fun with this. First she read us the story and then showed us how to make them, she even let all of the kids help.
Spencer is getting so good at cracking eggs I always let him do it by himself.This is Spencer anxiously waiting his green eggs and ham. We had them color some cute place mats that showed you were all of your dishes should properly be and then we had the boys set the table.And then there are the green eggs and ham! Aren't they green!Thank you, Katrina!

Then there was the "fit the egg through a really small hole trick:

This was especially cool! It took a couple of tries but when we finally got it WOW! Spencer just couldn't get over how fun this was.

Then we have the "Naked Egg"
Have you ever taken the shell off your egg while it was still raw, and it held together? well, that was the goal here.
First you soak the egg in a jar (with a large opening) of vinegar and then after two days change the vinegar and Viola the next day you will have a naked egg.
The acid in the vinegar dissolves the calcium in the egg shell but the membrane holds it together! Isn't that freaking awesome! It would have been even cooler if I had done it with a jar that had a large opening. When the shell dissolves the egg expands without all of the pressure, thus, a hole of a jar that the egg did fit into before, will not come out of. That is why we don't have any after pictures. :(
He wanted to show off his badge he received from some police officers he talked with at Arctic Circle that day. He is not shy at all and just walked up to them and started talking.

Phew.....I feel like that has been on my TO DO list for way to long! it probably sounded like it too, sorry. Just don't read the type, look at the cute kids instead.
