We got an A!

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"

The night before Halloween Tyler tells me he has a science project due - "... but not till next Friday." OK, sure, no problem as we'll have plenty of time. But as our schedule goes (that includes football playoffs, Boy Scouts, basketball practice, and me playing beauty shop Tuesday night coloring, cutting and waxing) it's not till Tuesday night that Tyler gets his kit from Hobby Lobby to make his model of a "pool in a steam'. (Sounded a little backwards to me - but whatever - it's Tyler's project and he knows what he's talking about.)

And before I go any further - I am well aware school work comes before any of the stuff I listed above!!! But I'm a person who works backwards and marches to the beat of MY drum! ; )

Tuesday evening Ty comes home with his project and Brian informs me that since he went and got it - it was up to me to help Ty put it together. Sure, no problem, I like arts and crafts.... It was too late to start that night so it left us only Wednesday and Thursday night to complete this project. Where did that week go???

Side note again. Click here to see the product used. I wanted to take a picture and share it with you but I forgot to take the picture. So this is an example...


Long story short & will spare you the finer details of the project - Wednesday night 'we' made the form and Thursday night 'we' painted it and added the accessories. While Tyler was at basketball practice on Thursday night not evening but NIGHT {8:30 - 9:30p} I touched up a few things and when he got home he was so excited. "We're going to get an A!!!" Tyler also re-read his instructions and found out we needed to display the vocabulary word too!!! Ugh, oh boy - I put him to bed and got on the computer to do work my magic... At 11:30p I was using card stock, glue stick, tape, straws, scissors, and etc. Friday morning we were still adding to it. Luckily, Friday was "Donuts with Dads" so Brian was able to get the project safely to school. Class ran out of time on Friday so that meant Tyler would present his - excuse me - our project on Tuesday. Once he got home he called me to tell me, "I think we got an A but don't be mad if we didn't. There is scribbling on the bottom of the sheet that looks like 40 out of 40 & 100%"

I can't wait for the next one - bring it on! ; )

Peace
