Egg-stremely Fun Egg Drop!
Now don't get me wrong, I love seeing my kids participate in various classroom activities, but sometimes I'm not super giddy/excited. Anybody else feel the same way? Can I get an 'amen'? Let's say, for example, the 3rd grade "Underwater Sea Creatures" report. Snaking my way through 4 classrooms, looking at posters, while trying to keep Mr. Cranky Pants (Cameron) happy....that was a little crazy.
However, Friday was NOT one of those mediocre times! Friday was the Egg Drop! There's just something exciting about a teacher on the roof with a bunch of egg-holding contraptions, just waiting to be dropped to their potential death! Seriously,it was fun!
I think I may have mentioned this before, but one of the zillions of reasons why I married Sam was because he's creative. He's not afraid to get uber creative in school projects. I looked into my future when we were dating and saw lots of crazy kids with lots of last minute projects and I shuddered. But then I realized that Sam would be able to step in and save the day for all the creative type things. So, after I said "yes" I would marry him, I had two stipulations:
#1: He would always be in charge of school projects with our kids
#2: If we ever had a daughter, her name would be Lillie.
He agreed to both items....and we lived happily ever after. I've gotten a lot of use out of #1, but #2, well, that's another topic.
So,how did Sam and Carson create the perfect egg holding device? Sam really just wanted to borrow our neighbor's chicken and let the teacher throw it off the roof because, after all, there's sure to be a raw egg inside the bird, right? After I drooped my shoulders in frustration and nodded "NO", Sam got serious. First he took a grout sponge and cut it in half. Then he and Carson chiseled out a perfect resting place for the raw egg
