More cleaning and organizing over the weekend… The guys tackled the carport & storage closets and I made a respectable dent in the office.

Fun stuff included Leah and Stephen on Saturday night for Scrabble and Moo-Sho pork.. Friday night was Science Experiment Beta-testing with Elise.

“Science experiment beta testing?”…. Right…. Slightly (but not terribly convoluted story):

We originally discovered MAKE magazine last year when visiting Glass in Cinci…. I liked the pretty clean design and Kevin liked the articles about making automatons out of old dishwasher parts.

That was it – the magazine eventually got gobbled up by the periodical monster that lives in the bathroom closet.

We got reacquainted with the mag when Kiwi brought a small stack of Woofer’s (he has a subscription) to borrow.

Now there’s renewed talk of Kevin really wanting a workshop shed in the backyard again.

Regardless – there’s fun kid stuff to do in the issues and so naturally we thought of the god-son. Of course, then the big-kids-in-denial that we are decided we had to try one of the experiments with his mom to “test for safety, educational validity and neat-o-factor.”

urr.. so that was Friday… which involved an empty two liter bottle, a pen laser and those silly red-laser safety goggles Kalz… I mean Kevin insisted on wearing citing something about chicken.
