It's Raining Eggs

**** Sadly, Princess' egg was hurled off at the beginning and then pelted with many many other entrees.......it busted......she was livid....she gets that from me******

Princess loves science. This is no surprise considering that she attended science camp last year, for a week. Given her choice of 12 camps, she chose science. So when her teacher challenged them with an Egg Drop, she began her elaborate plans. The Man with his engineering background was only too happy to help.



So tomorrow is the big day. Egg Drops off the roof of the school. Prizes are awesome. Princess and The Man finished their brainstorming and took off for the pet store returning a little while ago to complete their mission.



Her egg is housed in a plastic hamster ball with a little lid ($3.99/each), nestled inside foam fingers from my queen sized bed pad ($120) using a medium sized egg ($.89/carton) wrapped around the crease with some good old fasioned duck tape ($9.99/roll).



They made 2.



Total cost of volunteer science project for extra credit: $138.86.....



Cost of seeing Princess' face when her test drop off our house roof survived not one but three drops.....



Priceless
