Dear friends,
I am experiencing a little jet lag in my writing these days. Although each day in my life brings inspiring moments... I just don't feel very inspired to post things in the blog world. I have decided to take a mini-hiatus to reevaluate my blog- why it is that I do this in the first place and do I wish to continue. I don't mean to come across so melodramatic... it's just that I take my blog seriously and want to post things that have substance and meaning (with silly things sprinkled in every now and then). Perhaps I'm already doing this. I want to chew on "Knight and Pumpkin" -revisit the "roots", figure out what I want to do, and see where things go. I will most definitely not leave you hanging for long. Just enough to keep you curious.
Sincerely-
Gretchen
Ethan's recent study of dinosaurs at school ended with a "fiery" volcano. Today we replicated the experiment at home. Very easy. Very fun.
1. Put sand in a pan. (Or, go in the backyard!)
2. Put 1/4 cup baking soda in a can.
3. Put the can in the pan. (Or, place the can on some dirt in your backyard!)
4. Make a secret mixture. Measure one cup of water and mix in 3/4 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup dishwashing liquid.
5. Add 10 drops of red coloring.
6. Stir the secret mixture.
7. Pour it into the can and make a volcano!
(Please note that silly ole' cat in our pics. Since Christmas this cat, that Ethan dubbed "Welcome Home Kitty", enjoys hanging out in our yard. Today she got to join in on our experiment.)
