A "Big" Weekend!


It was all about the Egg Drop on Friday. We do it the Friday before spring break, so parents won't take their kids out a day early!! (We lose a lot of ADA money that way.)

Kyle was either on the roof of the auditorium dropping egg drop projects or else he was on the ground checking to see the results. I was only on the ground checking results!! My kids had mixed results. The best one was a box with holes on either side and a sock run through the holes. The egg was tightly twisted into the middle of the sock. It worked!! (It wasn't one of my kids - I suggested the idea - I'd found it on the Internet - but no one would buy it. The boy who used it is in the class, but he's not one of "mine!" The class is a collaborative class.)

Some of the most elaborate devices didn't work well at all - they broke apart on impact so the egg suffered! One boy used the puffed rice I brought and put it in a ziploc bag - and it survived the fall!


After our temple stint this weekend, be headed off to Rene's 75th birthday party. She has 8 sisters - and two of them share her birthday with her - and they are the last 3 sisters!!

Now we are off to Portland and Gearhart - I may or may not have an opportunity to post - depends on how busy Phoebe keeps me!!
