I know I’ve posted a video up here before about mentos and coke, but this is a little different. Steve Spangler’s extremely intelligent son Jack Spangler made a little invention to fill up a bunch of cups of soda all at once using the mentos exploding soda experiment and a little contraption he made. He felt that it was too much “work” to turn the bottle upside down and pour it the regular, boring way. Isn’t he cute?

Man, my son loves this stuff!

I know it’s only August, but Christmas creeps up on us fast. With that in mind, I felt it was time to start thinking about my Christmas card list and what type of cards I want to send out. There’s a new website that offers Photo christmas Cards that I’m going to check out and perhaps utilize. You can take any photo of a family member, yourself, your entire family, or whatever you like and they will put it on a card for you with your own personal greeting. They also have digital photo cards available which I might also check out because that option sounds kind of neat. The website also offers tons of tips on picture taking to help you find that perfect photo. They even offer tips on taking photos with your cell phone camera. Along with Christmas Photo Cards, you can also purchase Photo Card Holders For your personalized Christmas Photo cards.

School Starts In 2 Weeks

Wow I can’t believe how quickly summer flew by. It just seems like yesterday I was blogging about the activities I had planned for the Eric this summer. Just Wow. I have yet to get his school supplies, which if my calculations are correct will run about 50 bucks. I personally think that’s insanely expensive for school supplies. Things have changed so much since I was in elementary school.

So I’m the proud mother of a 3rd grader!! I’m excited for him because this year he goes to a brand new school. The way our school district is.. they keep the kinder, 1st and 2nd graders in one school and 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders go to a different school. I think that’s kinda cool because it keeps the older kids and the younger kids separated. He feels like such a big boy.

I haven’t gotten all of his school clothes yet. I need to get on that. I’ve gotten him like 5 new shirts and a new hoodie for when it gets cold.. and a new pair of shoes. He picked out some Tony Hawk shoes this year. His jeans from last year still fit, so basically I need to get him some new socks, underwear, and some shorts. Oh, and a new backpack. The next 2 weeks will be hectic, that’s for sure.
