All Tin and More

Today for chemistry, we made Tin Dendrites with our Mel Science kit. They were pretty awesome!The boys were fascinated watching these tree limb like structures grow off of the alligator clips. Even cooler to reverse the reaction and suck in the “limbs!” The paper clip was able to “grow” them too! Mel Science has really pulled my boys’ curiousity for chemistry. Alex had soccer practice tonight. While he practices, I usually take Lucy over to the park to play. It was so sweet tonight because Lucy was making Brianna a “birthday cake.” (Out of wood chips. 😉) She has to divide it just so, though, and make sure that Wendy and John had some too. She gave some to Peter Pan too, but she said he never got it because he was off looking for his shadow. This girl’s imagination cracks me up!Once Alex was finished at practice, I was able to sneak off to catch the end of Natalie’s football game cheering. I am still just amazed at how well she does! I am so grateful she made the team and has this opportunity to shine.
