Last week was great! We finished off the year with a bang. Mitchell got a soda science kit for Christmas from his cousin Porter and we got a chance to use it. Mitchell and I didn't know Becca was awake when we did the experiment of Mentos in Diet Coke, or you would have the pleasure of watching a video of him knocking it over and soda shooting all over the driveway.
If you haven't seen the two guys that put on a show using the Mentos and Diet Coke, here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM.
We came in and did some more experiments using Dr. Pepper and salt. Mitchell wanted to be extra safe, so here is a picture:
In one experiment, we almost shot soda up on the ceiling from the kitchen sink, but luckly we could stop it before Mom would get mad at us.
Caleb and Mitchell enjoyed the neat dancing macaroni noodles in Sprite. But they didn't want their picture taken.
Besides the excitement of playing with soda, we really enjoyed ourselves. I have a new job at Overstock.com. I was able to have a short week and stay home. It worked out because Becca had strep on New Years Eve. This made for a short evening without any major festivities. We also went to Wyoming for a Christmas party with my family. It was snowy and the roads were horrible on the way up, but the way home was smooth sailing. It was fun to go swimming with them. Mitchell is excited to be at school, and I am loving my new job.
