Science for Christmas and the Christmas Cow

Naomi got some science experiments for Christmas, which as you can see, is in line with her interests.







Here I present the Christmas Cow.

Naomi's Recipe for Apple Soup

[Naomi has insisted that I post this. I do not recommend you attempt to eat it!]

Ingredients:
1. 1 Apple
2. Handful of Crushed Crackers
3. 1 cup Water
4. 1 pat of Butter
5. A dash of Honey
6. 5 Chips (ugh!)

Tools:
Knife, Bowl, Measuring Cup

Pour water into bowl. Get caught slicing apple into small pieces with sharp knife and have mom complete this step. Crumble crackers into bowl. Cut butter up and add. Pour honey into bowl. Crumble chips into bowl (augh! really?!).

[Editorial note: leave out for Laborador to get into and spill all over the floor.]

Naomi's Take on the Afterlife

Naomi, on why she cannot become a zombie: "That only happens to bad people. When good people die, they go to heaven and become goddesses, or, you know, gods."

Dave: "Naomi, where did you get that?"

Naomi: "Hercules"

[Thanks sis]

MINE!

The Labrador attempted to brazenly steal my Mac&Cheese right in front of me. Out of my cold, dead hands, dog!

Reading Contest

Her small highness's school is having their annual reading contest to encourage children to read. Parents record the number of minutes read each night. Last year this was the tipping point in Naomi deciding she would consent to read independently, as previous to making it a competition, she averred that she did not need to read, as she had "people" to do that for her.

This year, she is reading fluently and has turned into the little bookworm we expected. Problem? The school limits the minutes recorded to 30 per day, which for Naomi would now be a lower limit on a really busy day. So she reads 3 hours, we record 30 minutes. No fair!

Cruelty: The Smell of Baking Cookies

Wait, what do you MEAN I can't eat them?! Decorations only??!! What a hideous concept!
