childhood memories

Today we remembered that we had some leftover sparkling sticks thingies from New Years and so Erlend decided that it was a good idea to blow them up, he says it reminds him of his childhood days ...

 getting the powder of the sticks was the hardest part

 first he tried to light it with a paper "fuse"

when that did not work, he just lid the plastic cup on fire

 it was quite an impressive flame

 all that is left of it now is some melted plastic (hidden under snow) that my mom is gonna find in the spring in her backyard and wonder what it is

Sometimes I do wonder if we are ready to have kids... :-)
