thoughts from Isaac

Isaac is a complex little guy with a lot of emotion.
I feel like, sometimes, he doesn't know what to do with it all.
So he has been encouraged to write / journal.
Here is the latest note to us.

as written, (exactly) by Isaac:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Parents,

I wish chould have less homework and chorer because it takes time away from my day.  I don't get to do the things I enjoy like playing and reading and resting and wondering.
The chores get in the way after homework.  I've been mean latly because I don't get to play or do any of these things very much.  I get to much homework and it makes me scream and yell and all of that stuff and makes me lose time.  our rules are to strict and drive me crazy.  I've always wanted to play Call of duty: world at war but you say, "NO" becuase "It's an "M" game."  I've been angry latly and I want you to consider this greatly and carfuly with concern.

                                                                                           Love,
                                                                                           Isaac

Epic breakfast

A long time ago
in a Galaxy far,
far away,
a Jedi master chef created an EPIC breakfast
to unleash the power of his Padawan. 
Using the force,
he created three pancake molds
in honor of
their favorite galactic heroes and villains. 


Okay, the real story is, that Mike's mom used to make pancakes into shapes when he and his brother and sister were kids.  She got our boys some pancake molds when they were little and the tradition continued.  Mike would get up with the boys on Saturday mornings and make Daddycakes.  They were letters and all kinds of shapes. 

Continuing with the tradition, our great friends the Medved's sent these to us for Christmas.



Thus, the Galactic Breakfast in honor of Isaac's birthday!

Diet coke and mentos

Isaac's 11th birthday science extravaganza!!!!










I thought the boys would be super excited about soda spraying all over the place.
But they were more excited about playing with "Mars Mud"
A combination of corn starch and colored water.
Those videos in the next post

Happy Birthday Isaac!
