Mentos and Diet Coke!

Alyssa had a friend over and begged me to go to Hobby lobby. I had never been and really wanted to see what it was like. We bought some various craft items and as we were checking out I saw this little kit that was made for the mentos. It basically is a small tube and it screws on the top of a two liter bottle and has a small pin to hold the mentos up until you pull the pin and run.
We actually pulled the kids out of bed and took them to the park in the jammies to try this out. It was actually so fun. I bought enough for each of the kids to try it. I was surprised at high the soda shoots in the air.

Naughty but fun!

Ok I know this is really bad but it was so much fun! This was on the Sunday that the playoff game was for the Cardinals. We won the game and the entire neighborhood went crazy. We could hear people screaming and lighting fireworks and that gave us the great idea to join the fun. Christopher had these fireworks he had bought on a camp out with the scouts one year and we took them from him and hid them so of course we forgot we even had them. We took them out and the "boys" started having so much fun. I have soooo many good pictures but most of them the little ones are in their underwear. If you know us very well you already know that it is a daily struggle to keep clothes on my little ones.

Steve put a firework in a container of water and I got the great pic of it flying in the air. Christopher actually put them in this bottle and that was really cool too.
