Guardian's Ancient Egypt Kid Connection- TONS of links: Build Your Own Mummy, Build a Scale- Model Pyramid, quizzes
Cleveland Museum of Art Egyptomania
Ancient Egypt for Kids
Ancient Egypt for Kids- Woodlands Junior School

Super Bubbles with Daddy
My mother (aka "Mimi") brought home a huge bubble wand for the boys from her trip to Delaware. Of course I couldn't figure out how to assemble the wand, so we needed Daddy. Lucky for us, Daddy made a super bubble solution too!!! (See the bottom of the post for a super bubble recipe) 
Dalton makes a silly face, while Keegan gives him bunny ears ;)
The boys discovered that if they stuck their hands in the bubble tub, they could blow bubbles in their hands. 
Keegan insisted I take videos of his bubble discovery.
