Jessica watched a movie with the kids tonight and sent me this note about it

excerpted: “…watched a sexist, racist adventure movie featuring a kind of brilliant kid actor. And Mia Farrow! It was a recommendation from a friend called ‘Arthur and the Invisibles’. I think the kids liked it, and it did have the whole miniature-people-who-live-under-the-garden thing going on, which is always fun. But the (only) female lead was big breasted with an exposed, cartoon-but-toned midriff and a fully developed butt in pants that seemed like they had an external g-string. Plus she was voiced by Madonna, which equals bad acting.”

Fun with dry ice

Dry ice is so cool! And cheap. $13 for 10lbs of the stuff (Ace Ice in mpls, Jason’s Dry Ice in St Paul). Put it in a jar of warm soapy water and you have an amazing bubble machine with bubbles that pop into smoke. The big bubble above was made by sealing off the top off a bowl with a soapy cloth. Leave it in a jar of anything for a while and you have soda. Tried putting some in a bottle, sticking it on the back porch and waiting for an explosion… Nothing! So I went out to check it and BAM! Got a small boo boo on my leg. Kids, don’t ever do what your dumb Papa just did… Just putting it in a glass of water and watching all the bubbles and smoke was trance-inducing for our children. Cheap, slightly dangerous fun times were had at our house today.
