Hot Air

Dallin came home from school the other day with some grand ideas in his head.  He started talking all about hot air balloons and how they work.  I knew where this was going and was right.  He fully intended to build one.  I was blow drying my hair and he came in and said, "Mom, can I borrow that?"  I said "Sure, why not?".  He showed me an empty plastic grocery bag that he was going to use as a balloon.  He got Eden all excited about it and I could hear them in the living room working on their new project.  Then after a few minutes I heard the blow dryer turn on and then off again.  They were obviously troubleshooting and I heard Eden say "Hmmm...maybe if we build this outside, we could use the hair dryer and the wind to get it to fly." 

I just had to check it out by then.  Dallin had turned their little table upside down and put a couch cushion on top of the legs and then a big basket.  The table legs had several of the plastic grocery bags hooked on.  Eden's little bean bag was up there too.  It was so cute.   I think they eventually gave up on making it float, but it was very imaginative for sure.
