The Human Body Project Gets Tasty!

Smile for the Camera...



Now, open wide......

See all of the taste buds? Each section senses a different type of taste.....
Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Salty



All of it .... on our tongue...



We even learned about the bumps on our tongue called papillae.... some large ones are right at the very back of our tongue.

More taste testing to come tomorrow!

Look What Santa Sent!!!!!!!

Ratchet found it in our mailbox this afternoon..... it was wrapped in a beautiful dark red ribbon...... and inside was a letter from... Santa!



Apparently, the elves have figured out some new technology for Santa to be able to get into the homes that do not have chimneys..... it's a good thing too because Ratchet and Halo were beginning to wonder just how he did it!

What else could it be but a Magic Key?







I am not sure where the elves found it or how they made it, but it is a wonderful antique skeleton key. Hung by the same gorgeous red ribbon with an embroidered tag with the words "Santa's Key" magically engraved on it.

Ratchet was ecstatic and actually squealed at the sight of the key. The instructions were to hang the key on the inside of the front door and Santa's Magic would do the rest.

We've followed the instructions to a tee in hopes that Santa soon will be here.
