Science experiment…
Posted by: | CommentsThe second science class with Sam was on chemistry. In this experiment, called Elephant Toothpaste, allowed all the kids to play with chemicals and reactions.
Science class for Sam and Dad…
Posted by: | CommentsSam and I are taking a science class together. The class is over 3 Tuesdays and we’ll study physics, chemistry and biology. Last night was the first night and we used Legos to study physics. Trying to break down potential and kinetic energy to rubber bands and watching a Lego car go almost 10′ was a definitely a challenge. Looking forward to next week… we get to blow @#%& up!
The ‘other’ first day of school day pics…
Posted by: | CommentsHere are some of the other pictures I got from the first day of school pictures. Enjoy.
First day of school…
Posted by: | CommentsWhile last week was ‘technically’ the first day of school for Sam, today was Evan’s first day. So I took pictures of the two school boys this morning.
Update: I’ll post some of the pictures that didn’t turn out so well later this week.
Flawed execution…
Posted by: | CommentsAfter coming back from Okoboji, the boys thought it would be fun to sleep in the same bed again. We agreed that if the boys would fall asleep quickly, then they could sleep in the same bed together. This is the result.
They are asleep, but does this really qualify as a successful night?
Hi ho, hi ho…

Sam and Evan on their way to explore a “cave” near Lake Okoboji. They got to wear miner caps to help them collect rocks and fossils. As cheesy as the setup was, the kids had an absolute blast.
Not being bored…
Posted by: | Comments
I’m always amazed how the boys can sometimes come up from the basement or from their room and say, ‘I’m bored’. Well I now have proof that kids can find entertainment anywhere. We were getting ready our attempt to break the Diet Coke/Mentos world record (which we didn’t) and Sam was starting to get bored. No less than 2 minutes after we started to wait, he found something to do. Proof that kids can find something to do just about anywhere.
Now the trick will be convincing them.

Our attempt at a world record… not even close.
Me and the boys

Not too often do I get of a picture of just me and the boys. Had a great time with both of them at the Verly reunion on the 4th of July.
