My daughter is building a "wastewater treatment plant" in Minecraft. I'm so proud of her.
The younger they start engineering the better!
Unfortunately (or fortunately), I think my youngest will be a vet, not an engineer. We get stuck trying to keep all the neighbors animals OUT of our house.

 
I'm trying to encourage Mini toward a career in material science. I figure it's just a couple more years until she'll be able to identify the elastic and plastic ranges on a stress-strain curve and calculate the Poissson's ratio of a gummy bear.

Ha! Don't forget, that curve will change depending on the brand. Much research to be done.

 
As far as I'm concerned, this is the only brand of gummy bears:

but I actually haven't seen these since the days when our family used to frequent the local liquor store because we didn't have a Walmart or Target nearby. Now I only see Trolli or Haribo brand, which seem to have much lower Poisson's ratios, making for a less pleasant experience chewing off their heads.

haribo is good if you get a fresh bag. the bags our walmart gets are old and the gummy bears are harder.

 
so friday was the homecoming parade. As the fireengine and ambulance was pulling into the staging area near the start of the parade minisnick was jumping up and down all excited that they were there but he couldn't remember the word ambulance so he said. " The people who help the people who are dying."

 
My daughter has expressed an interest in learning how to solder electronics. I was thinking about buying her this kit:

It would look better in a suitcase though.

 
I volunteered in Mini's kindergarten class today. One thing I'm now certain of, I sure as heck don't need to have a boy. Boys are fun and all, but I can live without having one at home.

 
^ that totally depends on the boy. if minisnick was as crazy as his best friend I would totally agree with that.
