Today Jonah & I made homemade recycle paper. I ripped the old papers up in pieces and we filled the Vat (plastic container) with water. We filled the blender 3/4 the way full with water and put a couple handfulls of paper into the blender and set it on high for 1 minute to make a "slurppy" (no, not to drink!) 

   Then we dipped the mold and screen set and took out as much water as possible and it now dries on a sheet of paper. We did this six times. The paper is still ugly gray and no dry yet. Jonah was bored with the process after the first 15 minutes. Sigh.
