Apparently those little leprechauns can't resist a carton of eggs, and, not knowing that it is actually empty, jump down the tube...and can't get back out. Now what to do with them...?

Happy St. Patrick's Day
In case you didn't realize it...this is a leprechaun trap. No leprechauns were harmed in the making of this trap. Nor were any eggs.

The igloo is done!
Here are a few night time photos...yes, that's a decorative door way...made with snow packed in the wading pool, with an ice "gargoyle" type of thing on top.
Bret took a light into the igloo...very cool glow!
Happy daddy...
...and even happier Sabine! The pile of small blocks in front of her are "supplies" because a "storm" is coming and the leopard seals (or something!) come out after the storm and will eat you if you go outside of the igloo. Consider yourself warned. BTW, the large block of snow behind Sabine is the TV. Thank goodness.

Crystal garden take two
Found a "recipe" for a salt crystal garden (we had done this back in July 2007 with a kit we got from Browse n Buy) in the most recent issue of Home Education Magazine. We went to the store and got the supplies, and followed the directions. I had no idea how long salt should take to dissolve (while stirring it) in equal parts Mrs. Stewart's and ammonia, but Sabine was over it in a few minutes...so after I stirred the mixture (near the kitchen exhaust fan...phew, stinky!) for about 20 minutes, then put it in a jar and shook it for another 10 minutes and the salt still hadn't dissolved, I looked at the Mrs. Stewart's page (conveniently listed on the bottle) and noticed that they didn't say anything about waiting for the salt to dissolve (instant gratification...much better), and while the "beautiful flower-like growth" didn't appear instantly...
it looked pretty impressive after a few hours...
