Pierce's 7th Mad Scientist Birthday Party

Pierce was so excited about his mad scientist birthday party. He invited 7 of his friends to the park by our house on a very windy day. When the guests arrived we spray painted their hair blue and green and gave everyone a pair of goggles and a lab coat so we could get started on our experiments.

Our first experiment was to build towers or molecules out of toothpicks and marshmellows / gummybears/ gummy worms / circus peanuts / and gumdrops.

Then we divided the kids into teams to make cola and mentos fountains. The kids placed 6 mentos on a paperclip that we lowered into the diet cola and then stood way back to watch the fountain. The pop shot up about 20 feet in the air.

The best part of the party had to have been the cake. Pierce asked for a vanilla and chocolate cake all mixed together and Andrea found directions to make this beaker cake online.

Pierce got a lot of great gifts from his family and friends. He got pixos, a pillow pet, a disco light, a dragon toy, lots of art sets, a magic set, a movie, and his favorite toy--k'nex rollercoaster.

Pierce is at such a fun age. He is very polite and a big help most of the time. He is losing teeth all over the place! He loves rollercoasters and waterslides. He loves to do art and to build with his toys. He is very friendly at school and does really well with his studies.

Cooper said, "No! Dop Tat!" when I tried to get a bite.
