This morning he turned his nose up at our boring oatmeal and made himself a duck-egg omlet, all while reading his mystery novel. 7 or 17?

Art - Andy Warhol
I think the boys' Pop-art lesson went smashingly well!
Quote of the day: "No offense mom, but if you're telling us how to do it, then it's NOT art." -Oliver
Well said Oliver. Well said.
Science - Glowing "Rubber" Eggs
The bouncing "rubber" egg is a classic science experiment. However, we found a cool way to take it a step further.
Pour a small amount of vinegar into a bowl.
Remove the ink-filled fibers from three highlighter markers.
Place in vinegar and squeeze out remaining pigment.
Check out how cool it looks under a backlight.
Pour vinegar mixture onto eggs. Fill rest of the way with vinegar.
Again, check out how awesome stuff looks with a black light.
......WAIT 1 week (by waiting a week you don't have to remove any shells)
And then we turned on the black light.
Even the insides were glowing!
What you need:
Black light
sealed container
eggs (we used three so that each boy had one)
Vinegar
Highlighter markers
Patience (the whole experiment takes 1 week)
.......
Finally! It was time to play with our experiment!
Our sexy science professor.
