The weather for the beginning of the kids' fall break has been wonderful. Unfortunately, last night a rainy cold front moved through and we are stuck inside today. It has been nice to be able to sleep in. Marvelous has been studying for the ACT (under lots of parental pressure) which is this Saturday. Mr. C has been watching as much Doctor Who as he can. We've also been able to go to the park and skip stones. Mr. C's discovery this week is that when you plop a stone into the rapids it creates a circular ripple pattern that travels downstream with the current. I really think he has a future in physics.

Mr. C. needs to check out the Rube Goldberg for 11-14 year olds. It's an on-line international competition. I haven't looked at it, but I saw that they have one. I'm helping with the H.S. competition.
We looked it up and printed out the rules. I'm going to send it to school to see if anyone wants to sponsor it. You have to have a teacher sponsor and at least 3 students on a team. What fun!
Sounds cool! Maybe we can try some at home or with our homeschool group next year.
