A little behind on working on the volcano. Forgot to purchase a sealant for the volcano that needed to be applied before testing the chemicals for eruption reactions. Picked up that for around $3.00 at Lowe's this morning. We went the the Dollar Tree and got hydrogen peroxide, mentos, baking soda, vinegar, pebbles, "rocks" (and a few other Easter things that were too cute not to buy). Dollar Tree didn't have quick acting yeast so we got that at Walmart along with aquarium plants which will be used to cut up and hot glue to the mountains as trees. While at Walmart they were running an Easter special to have your photograph taken with the Easter Bunny for free. So Russel and I both had our pictures made with the bunny! He told me he would do it if I did. We also received free copies which we added borders and messages too. Pretty fun morning.
When we got back home we tested the sealant on the volcano to make sure the paint would not run and have put a first coat of sealant on, waiting for that to dry (20 minutes) and will put another coat on. It should be completely dry an hour after the last coat. Then I will assist with the glue gun, attaching the glue to the pieces while Russell places them on the volcano. He will also begin typing up his information to go on the poster board. It's coming along well. I'll have to say that I've had as much fun watching him as he has had working on this project. One night when he was working on it and I was taking pictures he told me that he really hoped he won because then he was going to do a TV commercial about the "Kid That Used His Brains". Anyone know of a good producer?
I have no idea what we will do with this when he is finished. It is quite large but I guess we'll have to find somewhere to put it for a while.
More later.
