I canned tomatoes earlier this summer and then I canned tomatoes again today! Yaay! I have about 10 pints of tomatoes for spaghetti and soups for the winter ... and we still have a dozen or so green tomatoes waiting to ripen on the vine!
What does this have to do with my daughter's experiment? WELL ... she took a look at those beautiful tomatoes sitting on the counter-top yesterday and decided that she wanted to see what would happen to a tomato if she put it in the freezer. She didn't tell anyone what was going on in her little head, she just went with her idea. Chris opened up the freezer last night and thought - why is there a tomato in the freezer? I opened up the fridge this morning and thought - why is there a tomato (& a very mushy one at that) in the fridge?
We got to the bottom of our mystery when we asked the kids and E sheepishly said, "It was me"! We had fun talking about how she needs to run her experiments by us in the future and she got to see what happens to a tomato after it freezes (rock solid) and then defrosts (yuck).
The best part about it all is that the little experiment is totally unlike E and so it was fun to see her do something we would expect of ... her brother :)
