Oh, the joy of having a nine-year-old! I realize it is only going to get worse until he's probably 30 and he realizes I do know a few things. The problem is that by then I'll be 60 and will probably have forgotten most of them. The assignment was to create a desert HABITAT in a diorama format. I think he did pretty good. He got a good grade and that is the main thing. It is amazing what can be done with Playdoh, toothpicks, google images, dirt from the driveway, cheap toys and of course the necessity of any school project - hot glue. Especially when these things are having to be done the night before the project was due. After we got going and found a common ground, things went pretty smooth. He certainly looks proud of it. He also had to get in front of the class and talk about his habitat. His teacher said he did excellent on that. That made us happy too. At least this was good practice for the reading fair which will be in a few months. I imagine I'll need a stiff drink after that project too.

I feel your pain, remember it has only been about a week since Caleb and I had to construct a tarantula from a peach pit!! Today I am working at the shop and he's making a robot from tins, a scrabble rack and tiles and various faces adorned with embellishments. This would definitely get an "A" were he to be studying robots - drat!!
