No, this post is not about bowel movements. I could regale you with stories of the bowels movements of my children, but today is not that day.
The explosions I am talking about are of the Diet Coke and Mentos variety.
Honey was practicing an experiment that he is doing for Sunday School (he’s the large group leader). He practiced, and I took photos.

What’s that? Science experiments bore you? How about a shot of me getting ready for our hot date night on Friday (the rest are on Flickr)?
It was a super night. In addition to good food…we got most of our Christmas shopping DONE.
Tired of narcissism?
How about a cute baby girl?

She rocks the casbah.
So much for not posting.
Sunday is all about decking the halls. Photos to follow FOR SURE.
Hi. I’m Angella, and I’m a blog-a-holic.
Save me from myself. Please?
Science rocks. We haven’t tried this experiment, but we have done the “baking soda/vinegar volcano” to death. Superb shots. In answer to your comment, Etsy is hard. eBay was great, but I wanted to get into a different market catering to handmade goods only. It is SLOW right now. Have a good rest of the weekend.

We always did the coolest things in Sunday School. Have you ever been ice-blocking? It’s ridiculous, but so awesome.

Ice-blocking ROCKS. Dangerous, but SO MUCH FUN!

Those are the cutest pictures of Emily!!

I’d heard about this experiment so many times that we actually tried it in the summer! I wonder what would happen if you ate mentos while drinking coke!?! And, I’m surprised to see your diet coke spraying everywhere…I thought you would have used something else!

I’ve heard of the mentos + diet coke thing but have never actually tried it. Rob takes the 12-13 year-old boys group at our Sunday School and I KNOW they would love it, so I might show him these pics.
How did YOU feel Ange, about seeing all that DC going to waste?!?!?!

Woooo-weee! We had a hot date too. Beowulf and Mexican Food – we don’t bother with the frivolties…cut straight to the margaritas.

Love the Diet Coke and Mentos photos! Last year when I was teaching the science of chemical reactions, I showed my kids the episode of Myth Busters with that experiment. Of course the kids wanted me to take them outside, but being pregnant and winter I would not do it.
Great photos and glad that you had a wonderful date with hubby. Must have been the weekend for shopping. We are basically done with it for Chanukah – which starts this Tuesday – ACK!
And be a blog-a-holic if you want to . . . it is therapeutic I say!

My first thought was they are wasting diet coke!

You may have to copy and paste it, but it shows what happens when you eat mentos and drink diet coke.

I love the pop pics. Halarious.

That’s such a tough chick pose. Haha. I love it. And the baby is mighty adorable, drool and all. Her eyes? Gorgeous.
[Reply]
That’s not Diet Coke is it!?!?!
Love the second pic of Emily, she has such a big pretty smile.
[Reply]
Cool expirement… did he have to pry the bottle from your clutches first?
What amazes me is that you post quality posts often. I post junk infrequently
YOU rock the casbah!

I’m not sure what planet I lived on until last week, but I had never heard of the mentos-and-diet-coke trick! I heard this trick mentioned two different times last week at Makenna’s school. And now, I have a photo demo!
[Reply]
Thank you so much for continuing to blog, everyone else seems to be taking a month break…teeheehee…I was having withdrawals.
[Reply]
LOVE the photo of Miss Emily smiling.
[Reply]
You looked pretty for date night.

“Hi Angella”

Cray-zee. Matt is officially the coolest Sunday school teacher ever.

Hey Angella,
If you are 1/2 the dutch I think you are you would not waste a perfectly good 2L bottle of Coke! Are you crazy?

Hey Angella,
I forgot to add in my last past because I was so steaming about wasting all that Coke… what did Mentos ever do to you? You could have fed a Dutch family of 8 for a week on that.
Confused,

[Reply]

[Reply]
I’m very afraid of Diet Coke and mentos now!
[Reply]
Looks like a great way to spend a Saturday.
[Reply]
So, exactly how did you get the mentos in the bottle?? Just use a pipe with cardboard underneath?? Ive been wanting to try this for a while. Emily is so cute!
How was hot date night??
[Reply]
Glad that you had a good night out. Yay for dates!
[Reply]
