Science Fair



Don't know if I mentioned it before but I recently completed not one, not two but THREE science fair projects. Of course, Hannah, Knox & Katy actually won the prizes for all my hard work but there wasn't an over-30 category. (Tee-hee)

Anyway, Hannah had done her project on who would be more likely to pick up a dropped object, a boy or a girl?? (Girls)--although, this friend of Knox's admitted that he would pick up anything Hannah dropped. The admission came with lots of blushing.

Knox did his on who takes more steps in a day, boys or girls? (girls)

Katy did hers on who has more bacteria in their mouth, a dog or a human. (humans)


THEY ALL THREE WON!! Really, we had our science fair last night and they announced the winners. The projects had been judged over the past week by 8 different people, including parents of non-participating students, teachers from different grades, and even a district judge. No names were on the projects to ensure fairness. Of course, plastering your kid's picture all over the front was allowed. Hannah & Katy will both go on the district-wide competition and Knox received honorable mention for his. The girls have to go and stand with their projects so we are going to have to over exactly what "they" did in case the judges ask them any questions.

You should be ashamed of yourself... doing your children's projects! I will not turn you into the Brushy Creek Elementary police under one condition, if you agree to do all of Griffin's projects too!
