The difference in the image reflected is in the mirrors used...

When an ordinary mirror is used in a kaleidoscope, light must pass through a layer of glass before being reflected by the silvering on the back of the mirror. Since glass is not perfectly clear or perfectly flat, some attenuation of the image results, along with “ghost images” caused by reflection off of the surface of the glass. These undesirable effects are compounded in a kaleidoscope mirror assembly and cause the viewing field’s outermost edges to dim, blur, and become full of interference lines.

By using aluminized front surface mirrors these problems are solved. Front surface mirror is made by vacuum depositing a highly reflective aluminum surface coating onto the FRONT of the glass. The light then reflects off the aluminized coating and does not pass through the glass. The high reflectivity (approximately 95%) and the absence of ghost images permits a brilliant image which remains clear and bright throughout the viewing field. The resulting “hall of mirrors” effect results in images and colors that are much sharper and more intense than would be possible using ordinary mirror.

So the other day we were at the doctor's office to see our pediatrician and while waiting the kids were enjoying watching the fish swimming in circles in the salt water tank they have for them.

There were several kids around the tank which sits on ground level to be eye level to little amblers and early walkers. My son was chatting up the cute girls like always and was bragging about his pets at home. Everyone in the office gets to hos very loud boast...

I've Got Crabs at my house! They are in Mommy's room!

Of course I got eyed and lots of chuckles. He went on to say how cool they were, how cute they were...but oh my! Really!

Thanks for bringing Mom into it by the way! Oh well, we do love our little crabbies. For some reason both my kids are amazed by these usually nocturnal insect like land crabs. They have a large tank and lots of toys, so they are quite entertaining when they grace us with their presence.

Moral of the story? Hermit crabs make excellent pets for little ones, but can be embarrassing to hear about.

I love seeing them quietly napping on extended car rides or after a big day in town! My daughter loves her thumb best for an instant soother and never seems to be far away from her favorite tag tied blankies.


She loves playing Momma and always keeps her baby along for car rides. I thought about getting the baby doll car seat, but where would we put it? I know it's illegal to carry your baby in your lap, but in this case, it's a must!

My son on the other hand can't go anywhere without Kitty. He has had that cat's tail in his grip or under his nose since he was old enough to sleep in his own room! Car rides are much quieter when Kitty is on board!


We rarely see them both out at the same time, but in those rare moments of nap time bliss, we savor the quiet and dread the awake time that comes once we park!
