Science

Chocolate chip cookies count as science, right?  Right?

Each child made their own batch of chocolate chip cookies using the same recipe.  Each batch came out different.  Why?  Well, it depends upon how well they understand the directions and how well they follow them.

Some cookies were really good.  Some were very flourey (is that a word) and some were very salty.

It was a huge, horribly disgusting, wonderful mess and the children had fun.  After the cookies were made, we went outside where A and M found a couple of eggs.  In Bethany's enthusiasm to show them to Daddy, one got dropped and it broke.

Everything is cleaned up for the most part.  The floor needs mopped.  Hannah is asleep.  Bethany is eating a Giant Cookie that she made special.  (I've decided to be a horrible mom and have lunch be an apple and chocolate chip cookies.)  Charlie is doing his copy work.  I am ready for a nap.  

I have steaks out for dinner and I'll make squash to go with it.  I made up a huge salad last night and we will have that as well.

I have scraps that need to go out to the pigs.  I'll do that later.  When I went out earlier, I noticed that they found their way to being muddy.  Yay.  (sarcasm)  Pigs are disgusting.  But bacon is soooo gooooooood.  I only have to put up with the smell and mess for six months.  I can deal with anything for six months.  Even the over powering smell of methane and the mess of the mud that you sink ankle deep into.
