N day: June 23, 2015

N is for napoleon.

We had noodles and Nilla wafers at NeNe's.

(with napkins)

snack = "Naked" Nerds

(another napkin)

We put newspaper on the table to make some

non-Newtonian fluid.

Applying force causes it to act like a solid.

You can roll it into a ball like dough...

... but releasing the pressure causes it to act like a liquid.

It is just cornstarch and water! 

We used these instructions:

Non-Newtonian Fluid Experiment

At night, T watched Napoleon Dynamite.

(There are nachos in the opening credits.)

Our first N day, 2006:

G found nickels.

J and his nightlight

M day: June 18, 2015

Muffins, m&m's, milk,

and a mustachioed monkey with a monocle

at Merritt's midtown.

G minded the mirrors in Mom's minivan.

J wore his Mario shirt (with a mushroom.)

J, T, & E played Minecraft.

(E mentioned that her brothers are big meanies.)

E and NeNe found a marble in a musical jewelry box.

"Memories"

(You'll want to make sure your speakers are on for this short video.)

G & Papa did some vehicle maintenance.

mechanic checking the motor

lunch = Mario's

Next we went to Music at the Mansion.

We heard Mozart C Major Quintet, K. 515, Allegro

and "Molly on the Shore".

The Tulsa Historical Society had a great exhibit about Tulsa in the fifties. We saw baseball cards for Willie Mays, Stan Musial, and Mickey Mantle.

Look, it's the Letter of the Day!

(Those signs were once at the Mayo Meadow shopping center at 21st & Yale.)

When we left the museum, we saw a lovely magnolia.

Then we consulted a map.

At home the boys completed missions on GuildWars 2; 

Ellie watched Mary Poppins.
