Egg-Chanting part 2

We opened three eggs and found that they were not done crystallizing. 

It's a good thing we made extra. We decided to wait a week longer to open those. We didn't get as many crystals as we thought.

We found a other good way by Steve Spangler.

This is how it turned out
                    Hope you have a egg-chanting time

                                          

Egg-chanting

       

            

         Today we are going to make egg Geods. First what you will want to do is get an egg and a thumbtack and poke a hole in the egg.

             

   You will need a squirter to force air in the egg so the yolk will come out. Once all the egg is out squirt water in the egg, put your finger over the hole and shake. You will  want it all cleaned out.

     

          You can even paint your egg

          once it's empty.

  Heat 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons borax on the stove. Use a squirter to put the borax mixture in the eggs

     

     

          Put eggs in the refrigerator for two days make sure they are not touched or moved. Stay tuned  for tomorrow to find out the results!

   

Buttery Biscuits

      I have a wonderful recipe that I would like to share with you. First you will need:

3 cups of all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons of baking powder

1 tablespoon of sugar

3/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar

3/4 cup of butter

 1 cup milk

         First add dry ingredients together and then grate some butter into the flour mixture with a cheese grater then add milk.  I usually add a little extra milk. 

   

          You will want the dough to be moist. Then you cut it out with a round biscuit it in the oven at 450 degrees. on a cookie sheet. Put 

     
then cut with biscuit cuter or cup wait until crispy brown and take out of oven

   

           I hope you have a wonderful treat enjoy

   

                       Yummy Perfection!

I love drawing

                     I love drawing

       

      I had a really fun art teacher. She    showed me how to blend colors. when she went on vacation she would come back with stories to tell and new things to draw.  She would bring stuffed birds, mice and dead spiders as models for us to draw.

        I love drawing. This is a Bengal         Tiger.

      

              Whales are awesome. He's just chillin' in the sea.

     She taught me that you can never fail in drawing. Everything you draw is a piece of art. When she was little she drew a picture of a cat. Someone told her it was ugly and she wouldn't draw for three years. I'm glad she started drawing again because she is a wonderful teacher.

The Rock Shop

Today we went to the Rock Shop. I liked it because I got to see all the rocks!
There are a lot of rocks.  

They even make lanterns out of  rocks.

They have shelves and shelves of rocks it is crazy!

They have everything!

California State Capitol

   We had a free tour inside the Capitol building. There are policemen everywhere and you have to go through security.

.

I really liked to learn about the history of the Building.

     It was damaged in an earthquake in 1892 and had to be rebuilt.There used be Greek statues on the roof of the building but after the earthquake many were destroyed and there are no statues today because they are not earthquake safe. click hear to find out more about it.

The Rotunda looking up from the inside.

We liked it so much that we went several times

Bottom right:  Assembly room.

We actually went to an assembly meeting.  It was really long and boring. I thought they would get into voting for laws but they just gave a lot of speeches. We left after an hour.

The Senate Room

When it was rebuilt I liked that they they kept the Victorian style

Butterfly Magic

     My mom bought me a Butterfly Garden kit.  It came with 10 caterpillars, caterpillar food, and a butterfly house. I was a little worried at first because I wasn't sure it would work but it did! Be careful not to move the cocoons too much or they might die. When they get moved or have stress the cocoon starts to wiggle and spin. 

      It was very fun watching their transformation. Just like magic!

This is a Painted Lady Butterfly.
I had a lot of fun with this project!

     My favorite part about having my own pet butterflies is watching them fly around my room. But be careful of their wings, they are very delicate. If their wings get damaged they will not be able to fly. Their life span is 3 weeks.
