Our Hot Summer Afternoon Experiment

Haven't done much crafting lately.  It's been a busy summer, and everything's been a little topsy-turvy.  We've moved our two oldest into the same bedroom, however, and I'll be using our fourth bedroom as a CRAFT ROOM!  The hubby is actually building and installing counters for me to use.  It'll be nice having a dedicated space for all my crafty endeavors, and being able to leave it out and shut the door for awhile, instead of hurrying to clean it all up when naptime has ended.  So, MY craftiness has been on the back burner.  But with the hot summers here in New Mexico and the inability to go outside in the afternoons, I've had to focus on giving the kiddos creative outlets.  We tried this experiment this week.  Add food coloring to little bowls of vinegar.  Fill a pan with baking soda.  Have kids use medicine droppers to squirt vinegar into the baking soda, and it fizzes all over the place!  Super fun.  It kept the kids occupied for a good solid hour... so I didn't feel so bad about them not having outside time!
