Age five and a half seems so mature sometimes!

The latest science experiment: Xander is using the stopwatch to time how fast the water flows from the top bottle to the bottom if one turns it over normally (28 seconds) versus if one shakes it first to create a whirlpool (13 seconds).  Cue great conversations about whirlpools and tornadoes and air bubbles and water displacement and how to tell if water or air is heavier, etc.  I love my husband... I was just gonna recycle the bottles, but he added duct tape and water and turned them into a half-hour lesson.





Coming back inside from bug-catching, and giving his little brother a hug.






And we have joined the world of extra-curricular activities!  This is a snippet of his first karate class.
