VOLCANOES!!

I really like doing little activities with my kids...today was a little science experiment and we made volcanoes! The boys were super excited (poor Samantha has all day school) and we made our volcanoes out of play-do...then added a little vinegar and baking soda and the volcano erupted!! In true boy fashion, my boys loved the explosion so we used an ENTIRE bottle of vinegar and box of baking soda.












After I realized the play-do is probably ruined we decided to try it in bowls...




And even though they had been watching it for over an hour...it was still fascinating!



When we were doing this Ben said "Mom, you are so cool"! I take that as a victory for the day!

We love to do volcanoes too. Try using a 20 oz. water or soda bottle. You can even mold the playdoh around the outside. Also we add food coloring to add special effects!!! Have fun!!!
You are a way fun mommy too, by the way!!!

You are a cool mom Kyle! By the way, we have the same interest in music. I pull up your blog just as my background music for looking at other blogs.
