Random Tid Bits
- It's finals time at the school I work at, so I've been busy!
- Every day Mica asks, "So what are we doing tonight? Are we going to the theater?" Ya I'll be glad when Aunt Angie takes him to Avengers: Infinity War tomorrow!
- Isaak wanted to do his science project on rainbows and prisms. I bought one, printed images out for him, and Travis thought because people wouldn't be able to see rainbows at his display it wasn't good enough. I was thinking, Why not draw what happens?
All the sudden he decided to have him do his project on hydroelectricity. He carved a wax something-r-rather downstairs for a few nights. He got a small bulb and a small motor. All the while I was saying, "Don't you think this is too hard for Isaak?" He said, "No it's not." Well his whole something-r-rather wouldn't work right. The motor wasn't strong enough. All that happened, was that he got water all over the floor. I was thinking I told you so. and Man! What are we going to do now? I knew he was pissed with himself when I heard a bunch of cussing downstairs. Me saying anything that he already knew wouldn't help. I kept my mouth shut.
Isaak's project is due on Wednesday. He was naturally really upset, and blamed himself for not being downstairs working with Dad more.
I quickly googled ideas for 4th grade. I boiled some eggs, ran to the store to get soda, and he's doing a test on what liquid makes egg shells break down the fastest. My guess: Soda - Coke or Vinegar before water or milk. The egg shell is supposed to be like your teeth. I just hope it breaks down fast! If it doesn't I may have to make it dissolve a little faster. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.
- I ordered business cards. They turned out like crap. Not on my end. I got rounded corners, and they were all sort of out of wack. I tried messaging the company twice about my crappy cards, but have heard nothing. Looks like I won't go back there again. It's too bad because I've ordered from them before and didn't have a problem.
- Sometimes I have Isaak draw people on my feet. Ya I'm strange, but he loves it. What's something odd you've done to entertain kids?
i hope isaak gets to continue being an artist when he grows up! he's talented! :) Anyway, just dropping by to say hello all the way from the Philippines! I hope you can drop by my blog too and follow along if you like. Have a nice day! :)

Draw people on your feet? … It's kind of fun. I hope you take pictures of all of the feet people. Seems like an awesome art project! :)
ReplyDeleteI feel for Isaak with his project coming up on Wednesday. Why didn't the kids get a select list of projects they could do? Or, alternatively, why didn't they have to confirm with the teacher that X project is a good project for them? It seems like it would have saved time and the results would have been better.
@Mandy, Isaak's teacher is new this yr. I don't think she understands everything either. I think we've got it. Isaak and I worked on it today. I'm still annoyed about the other project. I just feel like it was a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteThe feet drawings are hilarious! I've let Allison do my makeup before. Let's just say, streetwalkers on a rough night looked a heck of a lot better than I did by the time she was finished lol
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are still busy on several fronts. I have been hoping things would slack up, and some of the pressure would be off you. But maybe that's not a realistic expectation. With two boys that age, it's inevitable that you'll be involved in projects, etc for years to come. Part of being a mom, I guess.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is very artistic, and she wanted to make a living as an artist, but for a number of reasons it just didn't work out. She works for corporate America now, and probably will until she can retire.
I hope the project worked well. I would guess soda too.
