Some fun along the way

 Thought I'd hit a few fun moments from my hiatus.  We made ice cream while learning that salt lowers the freezing temperature of a liquid.

 My imp and her impish jack o' lantern.

 Fun with geometry.

 Fall festival type party, eldest daughter was a flower, she made a crown of petals to go around her head...but it didn't make it that long.  Eldest son was a jungle explorer, thank you Wild Kratts. And we spent the rest of the evening convincing Imp not to call herself a Greek Goddess.

 Adventures with Husband Dear--the plus 3 (and me) love to explore with him!

 Candy cane experiments (melting and reshaping candy, who knew it was so educational). ;)

 Jackson Pollock-inspired art on the beach.

Only here

In case you were wondering, it is ill-advised to operate a drill and take a shower simultaneously.
Now you know.

Out of the Blue

Well, it's confession time. It has taken me this long to figure out how to transfer pictures from my phone to this blog.
There's really nothing I can say about that except: I'm sorry.
I kept meaning to figure it out, but well, life can be frantic.
And somehow hoping pictures would magically jump from my phone to this blog didn't just happen.  People assure me there's an app for that.
But, you know better late than never, right?
And, hey, look out internet world--cause I am on the line now.
