patience

It is confirmed, Little Daughter is an artist.

Her creativity expressed itself particularly well the other night, when she discovered Big Sister's bag of multi-colored, multi-shaped sequins.


It is still a mystery to me how no one in the room suspected what Little Daughter had in mind for the sequin bag, until is was too late. Though she is often a quick and stealthy one, her decorative swath encompassed nearly the entire house without notice.

Pretty slick!

A decorating tip: Sticky baby feet are perfect for spreading glittering color throughout the household.

There was nothing left to do but enjoy the beauty of her work, as she was indeed quite proud of it.

mystical physics


Whilst re-reading an old issue of PopSci, I came across something I must have missed the first time.

Me thinks it was the pretty picture of a delicate wineglass, with some sort of red-orange glowing concoction in it, that threw me off. (Yeah, it has nothing to do with my planets pic~~I like planets...what can I say? :o)

The bright liquid in the glass, a hydrogen peroxide and chlorine combo. The glowing, according to quantum mechanics, shouldn't happen. That it does, opens up another way of thinking. To read the PopSci article click here.

Quantum physics is pretty weird stuff. For more on quantum research found on Science Daily click here.

I could go on about how cool the subject is, but I've run out of time. Perhaps, when science shows time travel possible... ahh...imagine the possibilities!

scattered

A good organizer is what I need. Something with alarms, bells and whistles to point me in the right direction.

The eldest will be starting school soon. Summer's just about done. This is when it gets interesting. All the running around to do.

And so, with the last days of summer vaca slowly fading, I can't help but think of all the plans that never came to fruition. A bit frustrating. Only a bit. We'll get it all done, I'm sure. But I still need that organizer.





In the meantime, I'll snap some pics here and there.

Here are a few from today. Not the best work I've seen. Today was overcast. That's my excuse at least.
Little daughter was picking berries off the bushes. I do like her hair clip. :o) She asked that I take a picture of what she'd collected. Shortly after, whilst giggling with joy, she threw the berries to the sky.



A simple moment like this makes the noise of chaos much less glaring.
