Truly Sacrificial

  I will do just about anything for my kids.  Yes indeed, that is MY BLOOD.  Joseph wanted to look at blood in the microscope.

Ok, it wasn't really that heroic.  I needed to check my blood sugar anyway (I am diabetic.)  But I spared a little extra to put on the slide so we could look at it at high magnification.

It was interesting!  Joseph was disappointed that we couldn't see white and red blood cells individually.  Of course we couldn't...we have a low mag light microscope and I believe cells are so small you need an electron microscope to see them. Still, it was fun looking at the swirls and patterns.
