Intermission =)
I know I said I was taking a blogging break all week…
This is simply an “intermission” … =)
(honestly)
it gives me stress
thinking about all the things I will want to post by Saturday
so really this is just a stress release
and boy howdy do I need a stress release
and since I can’t afford a Hot Stone Massage…
(bummer)
so
Photos of Eggstraordinary adventures await
Little Girl designed this Egg Store Den Airy Saver
and filled it with these supplies
she placed an egg inside
and then
she chucked it out a 2nd floor window in our house
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
oh the anticipation…
Did the egg crack?
can I help you with that pokey little puppy?
=)
is it broken?
I can’t tell…
daddy?
the suspense is killing me…
oh no … not the lip!
humpty dumpty can NOT be put back together again
with a few changes to the cabin
his Brother Billie Bob Joe (egg #2)
will fly like an eagle
and soar like a bird
from the same window
did Billie Bob survive?
now usually Sammy is pretty smart
for his age of 7 years and 364 days =)
but Sammy… I am gettin worried…
I hope it is not a direct result of you smashing your head at FULL speed
into the edge of the car door yesterday
(be still my heart… don’t ask!)
just know he barely got bruised
and we were SURE it was going to be the worst ER visit we have ever had!
*sigh* the worries of having a child with low vision
he whacks his head more than the average bear!! *sigh*
I think he left behind a dent in the car door!
*ahem* anyhow!!
do you see the stress in her brow ?
she gets that from daddy…
Sadly, it was followed by another pout…
no worries
Take 3
its only 9:10 pm…
we’ve got all night to try this egg saving fun
(not)
I feel like I have done this before…
it looks good
did sister Sally crack?
well
is she ok?
Sister Sally Survived !!!
a 2 story drop in a box full of marshmallows!!
hooray!!
now Go. To. BED!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day at school
Little girl eagerly awaits
for her Egg Store Den Airy Saver
to be launched from this bad boy
into the lower soccer field
at lightening speed
uh oh
speed
we did not factor in speed
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
There she blows
um…
That didn’t happen last night
Marshmallow goo
is a pretty good indication
that
speed is an important factor to consider
and Sister Sally did not survive !
higher speed = greater force … which =
broken egg ~ it is hard to see (sorry) the Sun was bright!!
The good news is…
Abby did get points for clever name and cute design!! =)
and there is always next year!
4th and 5th graders get to participate!!
Great Job Little Girl ~
I am sorry sister Sally didn’t survive the catapult !!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
speaking of eggs
I need to get crackin some eggs myself…
I have a rainbow birthday cake to bake!! =)
I have seen this cake baked by a few of you…

Thanks for the inspiration!!
wish me luck!

What a cute idea! And marshmallows! Of course…
The middle school kids do this every year. A competition of sorts.
Ambitious, your girl!

This is such a cute experiment and really shows our kids the ability to solve problems and not give up. You know that there is a way to do it.
Love that you shared it all for us.

Ah…thanks for the smile today…yes..I have cheated too and have visited a few blogs this week!! Although, I never said anything about not visiting blogs..I just said I wasn’t posting. wink wink
