Fabric on Fire

Rachel did this great science fair project which was due today. She did an awesome job. She was testing which kind of fabric catches on fire the fastest. If you were wondering, cotton goes up in flames the fastest at like 2 seconds. It was a fun project and I'm proud of her for working so hard on it.

Introducing....

MR. TURTLE

Rachel got this cute little tortoise for Christmas and named him Mr. Turtle (I hope that doesn't psychologically mess him up). He is really small - he can fit easily in Rachel's palm. He's very cute and easy to take care of. Rachel loves him and I've even heard her talking to him (she makes fun of me for talking to our dog because she says, "he's a dog, he can't understand you"). I guess it's natural to talk to your pet when you like it. :)
