Rhett and Bennett had another fun science night last night. They made toothbrush robots! Rhett ordered some cheap cell phone motors online and then attached them to a watch battery which he stuck to the head of a toothbrush. VERY fun! I think it looks like a roach running across my floor =). I want to make a little "outfit" for the robot and make him look like a roach or spider and scare my mom when she comes to town =). She'll probably read this but hopefully she won't remember when she comes in a couple months!
In this second video we flipped the battery/motor pack around so it would balance the toothbrush head a little more. It made it more stable so when the robot bounced into something it changed direction instead of falling over. I know you're jealous!!
Hopefully I'll update more on our family soon!

Wow, Rhett! That was great! What great memories Bennett will have growing up with, "Dad,The Science Man" . Too bad I didn't name you Dan-it would have rhymed!-Mom
Gee, the only thing Weston has done with our kids is reminded them of their right to remain silent. :)
Bennett's a very lucky young man.
I love seeing Bennett's excitment.
Like Grandma said, you are building wonderful memories.
