What a day. Katrine was so busy that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow (which almost never happens). She thought Science North was fabulous. “Mom, I just LOVE it.” I think that she did close to every experiment or activity that they offered.
My favourites three:
1.When she made a contraption to safely carry her egg to the ground when dropped from 5 feet in the air. Needless to say poo Eggy didn’t make it. By the end of his crash landing there was yolk everywhere. I still think that the results would have been more favourable if she had listened to mom and attached a balloon or two. Maybe they would have slowed it down some.
2.Rock polishing. She chose a piece of white quartz which turned out pretty shiny in the end. It actually was a lot of fun sitting there watching as she ground it and polished it. I also didn’t worry as much as I thought I would about her grinding or polishing her fingers so it turned out to be more relaxing than anticipated.
3.Sodering together a little Easter circuit board. I have never do that before and I likely never will again. If Katrine is going to soder anything else together it will have to be with Glenn. I am just not that technical a person.
We also did the height prediction thing (the same one that was there when we were kids). Guess what? Katrine is going to be short. Big surprise aye? Lucky for her though, not as short as me. Five foot 2 vs five foot. Those two inches might make it easier for her to find pants…then again, she is also unlikely to have my hips which also might make it easier for her to find pants.
Now off to bed so that I will be ready for a day of egg dyeing, egg hunting and chasing around a chocolate filled child. Gotta love Easter.
Oh, one more thing. Why do people put pussy willows inside? They are just fuzzy sacks of pollen designed to make an indoor space icky with air borne allergens. They don’t even smell so why would a restaurant need to put them inside? Bluck! Now I feel icky (in their defence, I didn’t notice them until I started to get itchy and looked around to identify the cause).
