An "Experience"

Hayden had a bright idea the other day to do an "experience" (aka: experiment) that he saw on tv. He got out a baggie and took a partially used bottle of water out. He grabbed his stool and asked me for two crackers. He said that it was supposed to be like a stomach after you eat crackers.

Step one: Pour water in to the bag with the crackers.

Step two: Pour ALL of the water into the bag.

Step three: Squish the crackers like the stomach when it has food in it.

Step four: Admire your handy work and the mushed up food.

Step five: Squeeze the whole bag until the water pours out the bottom. Then talk to Mommy about how if a person's tummy gets squeezed or upset, the stuff all comes out as puke.

What a creative boy we have. He is definitely a try-it-myself kind of guy.

I have a prayer request today. A girl that lives up the street from me and who I used to play Bunco with lost her husband on Sunday afternoon in a motorcycle accident. Her name is Allison and she is really struggling and is in need of any prayers you can send her way. They have three year old twins. Here is an article about the accident: http://www.post-trib.com/news/porter/1623703,divisionfatal0616.article

Here is his obituary that was in the paper today as well:
