Rube Goldberg (and Science Fair)

Our annual Science Fair is next Tuesday. I have encouraged my Physical Science students this
year to try to make a Rube Goldberg machine (I know one student, at least, has really gotten into the idea.). But the above video has got to be the coolest Rube Goldberg machine I've ever
seen. Enjoy!

Jellyfish from Georgia Aquarium

Beauty of Jellyfish

And I'm not sure who is more interested in whom - Jacob is examining the turtle and the catfish but they are also looking him over a bit too. I couldn't resist posting this photo (taken the same

day as all the jellyfish photos).

Pumpkin Patch 2009

October fun! Jeremiah knew exactly what kind of pumpkin he wanted and did not understand what took the rest of us so long. Why we had to look all over the field to find a pumpkin when he found his so quickly was beyond him!

He also loved feeding and petting the animals but didn't understand why his daddy would let him free the chickens from their pens (he almost succeeded!). Jacob was his usual happy self - and a bit cocky on the horse. Who needs to hold on when you are pretending to be John Wayne? (or at least a Cowboy?).

And Darcy is just busy - my batteries died (note - ALWAYS make sure you have back ups!) but

she had a blast on the slides. I have more photos from the house coming later with cookie making and lots of flour throwing fun. Not to leave out the cookie dough eating fun...

(Hood up - Jacob, hood down, Jeremiah).
