Picture updates

So I have nearly 40 pictures on the computer ready to go, but I don't spend enough time in Blogger to know of a friendly way to put that quantity of photos out there. I tried to just dump them all out there, but the format was horrible -- it kept putting huge spaces between my pics so the posting would have been like 4 miles long. So rather than try and figure out how to do a slide show or something of that nature, I will just randomly post the pics 5 at a time over the next few days. This set shows some of the projects I did with the kids while Carson and Mel were in the hospital. We painted, made swords out of balloons, made a clay volcano that erupted with lava (huge let down btw -- vinegar and baking soda isn't nearly as cool at age 29 as I remembered it being at age 8, but the kids enjoyed it)...

PS--I've got you all right where I want you. You all used to give me grief for not posting more frequently. It's been 2 months now since my last one and I haven't heard a thing from anyone. Thanks.
