The Cropped Town

 

The key to making our town look industrial cool is to crop.

 

Someone graffitied the star on the flag with a sickle and a gavel.  Solution crop.

 

Boots are the footwear of liberty and my little Reagan models them so well.

 

 

When he saw this, Fritz said, "I look all grown up."

 

Love Jane's facial expression, Fritz said she looks like a chipper chipmunk.  Indeed she does.

 

 

Don't know what this rusted drum is, but it is behind the tattoo parlor...so we took a quick photo and didn't loiter for fear we might get inked.

 

 

My kids claim that this is a haunted house across from the library.  Maybe the ghosts got Alex, because he was absent in all these photos.

Jars of Eggibolical Beauty

We did an eggibolical experiment on our counter top.  Uncooked brown eggs were soaked in mason jars filled with vinegar for 24 to 48 hours, and the shells completely dissolved.  They became rubber ovals.
 

  We poured out the vinegar and put the eggs in tinted water.
 The eggs absorbed the food coloring and are now jewel tones and exquisite.
 

We measured the eggs' circumferences in shell and after their vinegar bath and recorded our findings.

The eggs grew noticeably on the metric ruler.
 

Lined up for the mad scientists.

 

We are now trying to shrink them.

 

 

The eggs are in salt water and bubbles are forming over the egg's surface.
