Kindergarten Pumpkin Scientist Night

Last night at Tyler's school Lovejoy had Pumpkin Scientist Night for just the Kindergarten classes. We all went, including baby bro, and carved a pumpkin. Tyler did an experiment with the pumpkin and had to choose if the pumpkin would sink or float in a tub of water. Tyler said the pumpkin would float and Jason and I said 'are you sure, Tyler... it's a big pumpkin'... we were both totally thinking the pumpkin would sink. Well, we are big'ol ree-rees because the pumpkin floated!! When we saw it float we both immediately said 'oh yeah, they are hollow - derrr!!! So, Tyler was right... smarty pants!!!
They did a couple other 'experiments' like guessing how much the pumpkin would weigh (Tyler guessed 10 lbs and his weighed 12) and how many seeds they thought the pumpkin had inside. It was a good time except for the two year old screaming in the background... Oh, wait, that was my two year old - fun times!!
