SmAsH LaB.....

This is a show on TV. If you are not familiar with it, it is about 4 people that are doing different experiments to try and make things better that can protect us. . That is a VERY vague description but Cody loves it and is always wanting to try out his own experiments. I had bought him a book of different science experiments but that is no longer enough. He had some big plans the other night after he and Matt watched a show of Smash Lad. After the show ended Cody told Matt that he needed to go to the store where you buy parts and wood and they have the big race car carts. He is talking about Lowe's. He then told Matt he needed to go there so he could buy 3 pieces of wood and some cones. With the wood he then wanted to cut it all up into little pieces and stack them. Then he would use his crane truck to knock them down. The cones were to let people know that there was work going on and to stay away. He even drew up some plans and he had a checklist of the different materials he needed. This was during the week last week when they watched the show. Everyday after he would talk about when he and Dad were going to do this experiment. He was waiting for Saturday because he had no school. Friday night comes and Cody is telling me how he needs to get his plans ready for Saturday when Dad is home! Saturday morning he had his plans ready and placed on a clip board. We take him Lowe's and we get his supplies. On the way home I was not feeling well. Big Surprise! Cody tells me that when we get home I should go lay down and get some rest so he can spend time with Dad! How sweet! Of course I will do that Cody! So Landen and I went and took a nap while Matt and Cody borrowed a saw from our neighbor Jamie and got to work cutting wood and completing the experiment. I wasn't there to get pictures but I did get some of the aftermath. Cody had so much fun. He is so funny. When he gets an idea in his head he does not let it go! I wonder where he gets that from....hmmmmm.
