Taylor came home from school a couple of weeks ago telling me about a conversation she had with Claudia. "Mom, Claudia said you CAN actually start a fire with a magnifying glass!" Claudia had tried it out and was able to successfully start a fire in the fire ring in her backyard, under her father's supervision, of course! Taylor ever since then has been begging Jon and I to sit in the driveway with her while she tries to set a leaf on fire. She is such a funny kid and I'm so glad that things like these seem to be much more facinating then boys for the moment. Well, Today is kind of a lazy Sunday and it is BEAUTIFUL outside. So here are the girls taking turns successfully burning holes in a leaf. Notice the water bottle within reach, just in case the fire got out of hand. Hopefully, I'm not encouraging pyromania! The experiment went off without a hitch and Jon figured that since everyone was outside he might as well clean his car.

I remember those days of experimentation with a magnifying glass. I sure do miss those care free days of childhood. Jon is just too funny taking advantage of the moment to clean out the car. I love the picture of all three of the girls intently staring at the magnifying glass.
