I think Boyce has been sneaking behind our backs and listening to Hanson
Happy Birthday to me
I recently celebrated my birthday. It was a pretty uneventful day for the most part. A 2 hour meeting in the morning and a science fair in the evening pretty much took up the whole day. We did end up eating out after the Science fair. We went to a restaurant that overlooks the water for dinner, which is quite small and doesn't really host kids well. As I walked in by myself with all four kids (Jake was meeting us), there were many anxious looks coming our way. Gage, walked right up to the bartender and gave him knuckles, which he followed up with squids. (We'll have a video presentation up soon of all of Gage's knuckles) Anyways, it broke the tension of the entire place and they were quite happy to have us there. Sometimes it pays to have a crazy kid!
It was a great day that ended with cake, a new video camera (so be ready) and a lot of this...
It's Science
Oh yeah! We had our first science fair project here at the Snodgrass house. I know you are all just as thrilled as I was so I'll let you in on the experiment. Karmen's project actually advanced to the next level of the fair, so here she is showing it off. 
My, I mean her, project was to see if static electricity would make cereal jump. Thankfully we had a stash of unneeded record albums, an old wool sweater and plenty types of cereal lying around the house. 
Rice Krispies were the most responsive.
Cheerios and cornflakes just kind of stood up on end, occasionally the cheerios would jump.
I know you are all just as thrilled as I am. Side note, at the science fair kids had done experiments with sodas affect on teeth. I want to know, where did they get the 12 teeth they used for their experiments. Is that something you can buy somewhere?
