It seems ‘world creating’ has become a thing in the EG Lair. It all started with Sinister building his own terrarium for a school project last term (which he scored 93%… Such a good little evil genius…) – 3 months later and it is still going strong, without any further […]
We all want the best for our kids. To be happy; To be smart; To be healthy; To be educated. The latest buzzword in parenting is “resilient”: we all want our kids to survive. Because in life, when you get knocked down, you need to get up again – swinging. […]
Last week, Sinister did all the prep work for his terrarium: Cleaning; and Foundation Layers. Now it is time to bring life to his project! Not all of these plants are going in – and especially not all of the Maidenhair Fern! Sinister is also doing a smaller ‘back-up terrarium’ in […]
If you really want to create your own world to conquer and command, you need to do some prep work. For those tuning in for the first time (slackers): Sinister has chosen to build his own self-sustaining terrarium for a science project. He has already researched what he needs and […]
Sinister is starting off his school year by creating his own world to command and conquer. I like this teacher already. Sinister is in Year 5 OC (Opportunity Class – like a Gifted program in the public school system). In Science they are studying Space – Significant astronomers; Creation of […]

Great opportunity for a lesson in density. Not only will the spawnlings understand a basic scientific concept, but it will help them understanding other minions in the world – like politicians.
Life skills. It’s all about the life skills. And with spawnlings, it’s all about how you SELL those life skills. Today, let’s focus on cleaning. *that choking, warbling sound you may hear in the background is EG Dad as he cracks up laughing, then stumbles across the EG Lair, stepping […]
In years gone by (a looooong time ago, minions), people believed that evil things happened during eclipses. The Vikings believed their Sky Wolves were chasing the Sun and the Moon, sometimes even catching them. The delicious snack was an eclipse. Apparently. In Vietnam, it’s a very hungry frog out for […]
“I’ve been slimed!!” Today’s Forensic Friday experiment is brought to you by the letter S – for SLIME. Ooey, gooey, slime. Of course Sinister and Nefarious want to make their own slime. And it is a good lesson in chemical reactions (as is any cooking in the house)… My concern […]
