Mad scientists......

Doodlebug's birthday was celebrated in a style befitting an 8 yr old boy and 15 of his friends - making slime, giant bubbles, sherbet and liquid nitrogen icecream! The demonstrations were done by Sabrina from the CSIRO education centre and the boys had a great time. It was supposed to be held in the garden, but since we had about 2 months' worth of rain in one day, we held the science part in "the Bunker" under the house.....
Little Possum floated in and out a little. She was more interested in the progress of the party food upstairs and "looking after" the Twisties.
The party food included the usual party foods, but the specials were a jelly made in a brain shaped mould. I wasn't brave enough to use the recipe for a flesh tone jelly, but went with plain raspberry instead... Then a jug of cordial with dry ice in it and a volcano cake with dry ice steam coming out if it.
It all went well, and the guests went home clutching their little pots of slime and their party bags. Then it was blissfully quiet at our house.
