The other fun for the last several days has been the hectic finishing of Stephen's Science Fair Project which is due tomorrow! Here's a picture of the finished project.
I have to say, I'm just tired of science projects. When we lived in Silverlake (Pearland), the elementary school there started science projects in Kindergarten! Yes... kindergarten. They weren't really tough projects, but they were projects. In Kindergarten I think she had to research an animal and make a poster. Each year after, the projects progressed in difficulty until by 4th or 5th grade, they were doing some seriously good projects. Rachel was pretty good at them, but they really take a lot of work from parents to help the child finish it. The good thing that came from starting them so young, is by 5th grade, I really didn't have to help much any more and certainly now, with her in 9th grade, I'm not required much to participate for Rachel.
Stephen's a different story.......
In our current school district, they don't start science projects until 6th grade, so this is Stephen's first science project ever. He chose to do a project to determine which window coverings block the most heat between sheers, curtains, solar screen and solar film. It's an interesting consumer project. The winner is the ugly reflective solar film on the windows!! Truly... doesn't look good, but it blocks a ton of heat. Mom had to help pretty much all the way around on this project with helping to setup and guide the time consuming experiments to using all my great scrapbooking equipment to help make letters/labels for the poster!! I'm glad it's over!!
That's if for tonight and I'm pooped!! Unfortunately, it's 10:00 pm and Rachel's due to be returning to the school in about 15 minutes from soccer games across town in Katy tonight!!
Later!

Yeah Stephen! Why does he look older all of a sudden?? How'd the game turn out?? Was Rach victorious?? No science projects here YET! Thank goodness.
Congratulations, Stephen. We're so proud of you and your scouting. Keep up with it so maybe you'll get to be an Eagle scout.
Where is my credit? lol
Congratulations to the little guy! I know you are very proud of Stephen. And, I'm very impressed with the subject he chose for the project as well as the finished product.
Get some rest....and remember, summer is not far off. :D
Stacey - Stephen says he looks older because his hair is too long!
