My son has a book for boys and in it there was a recipe for Ooblek that he wanted to do. When I looked at it I saw that it was just corn starch and water. We’ve had a good time talking about physics and fluids. When he was 2 I would never have thought he’d be doing this.

This weekend was the National Lentil Festival here in Pullman.  Despite what you might think it is quite the shindig.  It seems to get bigger every year.  There were 2 live music venues and it seems they keep expanding farther down the streets.  It is a pretty good time.  There was live music and free lentil chili on Friday night.  We went and wandered around for an hour or so to check it all out.  The kids got to sit in a fire truck and play on the big inflatible bouncy things.

Saturday was the parade.  The weather was nice.  It was a little warm.  Andy over heated a little bit and I got a little sunburned.  It was really fun anyway.  If you ever get a chance I recommened you come and check it out some time.

    Last week I finally upgraded my phone. I’ve been eyeballing several phones that have released since I got my first Android phone.  The specs for this one (Evo 3D) released early this year and I was pretty sure this was the phone for me.  1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4GB of internal [...]

  • Minecraft! by ian

    I recently discovered a new game. Minecraft! It is basically a sandbox style game. You start out with nothing in this world. You run around and interact with things to gain resources and then combine the resources using recipes to create tools and other items to use in your world. [...]

  • Upcoming adventure by ian

    This week we got a fence installed around our back yard. Really we just finished off the parts that our neighbors fences didn’t enclose. We have been telling the kids that we couldn’t have a dog because we didn’t have a fence. Well, now that we have remedied that situation [...]
