Stop-Motion Animation

Here's C's very first stop-motion animation. I helped put it together in Flash.

Columbia Memorial Space Center

C went to the Columbia Memorial Space Center with his Cub Scouts Troop.

The boys watching a pressure gauge going up. Then, they push the button to release the soda-pop rocket.

BLAST! The air inside the soda-pop bottle lets out and up goes the rocket!

Silly picture!

This is a real astronaut suit!

You can step inside it too! C's face is obscured but, he's in there!

Outside, some amateur astronomers were watching the skies, 

Another astronomer focusing on the surface of the moon.

Now, it's all dark, time to go home!

"Allermates" Multiple Food Allergy Bracelet

This is a bracelet that is not for sale yet, but they are previewing on Facebook. 

This is their Website:

http://home.allermates.com/

It offers a bright colorful alternative/option to your Medic-Alert bracelet.

This is my review as a Mom, without really seeing it in person: It may get caught on clothing and snag on things while kids are playing. To the manufacturer, I'd suggest that each character logo be flush against the bracelet so that those issues don't arise. Kids are extremely active and it can cause the bracelet to fall off, and would lose the bracelet and the money spent for it. Also, I have mixed emotions about the Food Allergy Characters, they seem too cute to be taken seriously. I know it's very appealing to kids, but it feels wrong to have your life-threatening allergens seem like cute little friends.  That's my 2 cents!

Flashback Friday

C at 9 days old, looking straight at the camera already.

C having his usual 7 yr old deep thoughts

C: Mommy, do you get envious of God?

Me: Why?

C: Because He knows EVERYTHING!!

Me: And we don't?

C: Yeah. I get envious of Him, I want to know everything there is to know!

Me: That's a LOT to know C. 

C: Yeah, I know.

It's Hot!

I'm washing dishes, C is reading a book;

Me: It's HOT!...ughhh

C: Yea, but it's not that bad.

Me: Yes, it's bad, it's 101 F!

C: Well, it's not as hot as being on the Sun!

Me:Your right, that would be much hotter

C: See, it's not so bad.

Me: Yes, it's a matter of perspective, isn't it

C: (already back to sticking his nose in a book)

Flashback Friday

Here's C at 14 months, just learning how to walk. He's so excited that he can do it on his own! Cute! :-)
