Madness

We have all gone mad around here.  Some more than others...

For science day at school, the kids dressed as mad scientists. Owen decided to go all out with his hair, while Laney and Spencer went for a more reserved look.  AJ's hair, well, his hair always looks crazy but we are so thankful that he finally has some we just aren't bothered.

They had a great day at school with a mobile planetarium and experiments galore. 

I, on the other hand, have progressed way beyond madness.  I have lost my mind.  While rushing to modify shirts into lab coats, I plugged the the sewing machine into the little white converter and flipped the switch.  The loud "boooo-haa" sound that followed was my first clue that I had done something horribly wrong.  The smell that followed confirmed it.  Unfortunately, it was only after I sent the 220V through my poor little 110V machine that I remembered the last time I used the sewing machine in the kitchen I hauled in the big yellow converter (a step down transformer) rather than the little white one.  

RIP

R.I.P. dear sewing machine.
