How can I follow three posts in one day?

How can I top my three posts from yesterday? I can't but here goes anyway.

One of life's bigger questions was answered by J's science project in 4th grade: Will soda pop blow up balloons? The answer is yes, especially when you shake the bottle after putting the balloon on the bottle and, to the extent you can control it, pop will also blow up a balloon (and usually blow it right off the bottle) if you add Mentos to Coke just before you put the balloon on the bottle. We also found that certain types of pop will do a better job of blowing up a balloon than other types of pop will do, but I have forgotten which ones worked best. The pictures shows what the bottles and balloons looked like the day AFTER we ran the experiment.

Three of my aprons

Here is L's friend NB modeling my "clock apron with skirt." I entered this one at Peach Days this year. Of all the aprons I've made this year, this is one of my favorites. I particularly like that it looks good on many diferent body types.

Here is NB modeling my version of the "Cosmopolitian" apron from the book A is for Apron. I call it my "cupcake apron" because, although you cannot see them from this distance, there are cupcakes on the material. I wish I could have found the right color of brown bias tape but red is my favorite color so how could I go wrong there? I think I like this pattern best of all the patterns I've used this year, and it looks cute on NB, though not so cute on me.

Here is my cobbler style apron in a hot chili peppers material. It is lined with an orange material and there are orange ties. Lots of color here.

L was my photographer for these pictures. The girls had fun with this photo shoot. Now to get the rest of the aprons photographed . . . I'm trying to have pictures taken of all the aprons I used in the apron fashion show I put together for Super Saturday. The priority has been to photograph the aprons that need to be returned to other people, but at this photo session, I threw a couple of the aprons I made into the mix.

Firefighter picture

A picture from 2004. How could this blog be complete without a firefighter picture?
