This slime is glowing in the dark...

Today we made some glow worms! These acutally glowed A LOT stronger than I anticipated and it was pretty cool to play with them. They started out squishy gel and then we added them to liquid and the longer they were in there the more firm they got. We let them sit out for awhile after we were finished with this to dehydrate and then threw them back in to see what would happen too. Evie loved taking them in and out of the dark to watch them glow! In her little jar they kind of looked like glowing brains. This was a fun, not very messy activity and the worms lasted for hours of fun before they started to get dry. We also made some sticky slime today and MAN was it STICKY. I expected it to be since that's literally what it was called but it was EVERYWHERE. I'm glad we did that one outside! :P

It is finally starting to clear up outside and it wasn't super rainy today (although it was pretty hot!) so we got to get outside and play some! Today we made a clay volcano and Evie got to use fizzy tabs and water to make it erupt! We did this before with baking soda and vinegar and today we got to talk about why it works with citric acid and water too. Eruptions are ALWAYS a hit with Evie and she enjoyed making the little volcano too, although the clay was a bit hard to work with since it had started to set up some. It was still fun to watch. :)
The lazy day...

Today we had a completely lazy day. I actually didn't even take any photos today because we didn't do much. This one is from the weekend when we had an impromptu birthday party for Kumi. Evie's ear improved only slightly today and she was still very tired, so she slept a lot and spent most of her day in bed. The air quality today is in the 200's and honestly, I was choking just being outside for a few minutes so playing outside wasn't going to happen anyway. We ate pizza in bed and played Dreamlight Valley and Animal Crossing and watched Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom so many times that Evie was slipping into a British accent by bedtime. Even though we accomplished very little it's important to have rest days, especially when you're recovering from illnesses so that's exactly what we did! Hopefully her ear is healed up soon and we can get back to the fun stuff though!

Well today was a doozy. Last night Evie's ear started hurting again and it kept her up all night long. I have no car today so of course I can't take her anywhere so we did a telehealth consult with a doctor first thing this morning. They prescribed her some antibiotics for an ear infection but unfortunately they sent them to the wrong pharmacy so I couldn't go and get them either. Super fun. Most of the day she was in bed and crying and while I gave her some Tylenol to try to help it didn't seem to last very long. Luckily this afternoon we were able to get her medicine (and also my car back) and as SOON as she had it in her ear she immediately fell asleep. We went up to my moms and celebrated her Aunt Hannah's birthday. It was a long day filled with ups and downs but hopefully things will look better tomorrow.
Breakdowns and letters...

What a way to start the week...over the weekend my car broke down. It has been having issues for several months now and three trips to the shop has left me with zero answers so far. But things went VERY south on Saturday so we decided to have it brought in again. Evie got to watch them tow it away around lunchtime. Luckily I don't need it for awhile. It was sunny out so we got some outside time in which was a nice break from being stuck inside so much recently. We also started up some schoolwork again. I found this fun note in my Animal Crossing mailbox today from Evie. It's so funny to see the stuff she sends in there and it's great to watch her spelling and reading improve from doing something she enjoys. Since we're stuck home for a few days I have some fun things planned for us to do in the yard this week. Hopefully we can get back to the pool some too. :)

It's finally Friday! Also it was finally not pouring rain, stupid hot, or hazy and unsafe to be outside! So we decided to take a girls day and have some fun. We played, we ate pizza by the slice, we got coffee and cupcakes and ate them on swings. Evie got some new earrings and some new outfits. We played some arcade games, and then we just walked for a bit and enjoyed being outside. On the way back around we grabbed some new bath bombs and macarons for the road. It was a fun way to end what has been a really long week! :)
