On Monday we did the mentos/diet soda experiment.  Justin got one in his Christmas stocking, so I had Tom pick up some cheap diet soda for us.  I had Leanna and Justin watch a short MythBusters video on you tube that explained scientifically what happens.  Fun little experiement!

We did our last "schoolday" today before a Christmas break.  But with all the holiday bustle, I didn't record that day's work.  I cannot remember for the life of me what we did. 
I do know that so far (it's December 26th as I write this) she did some of her "school" with Timothy and Justin, and she did some biography and time worksheets stuff, and some online research and computer play. We've done lots of projects (she did some sewing and made things with stickers and foam and popsicle sticks, we made photo frames as gifts, we made scented ornaments, and she did more baking and household cleaning.)  She's been reading her Christmas present books too and writing in a notebook she was given as well. She played Trouble and put together a puzzle with Tony's daughter Gabby.
