Everything is Neat Again

I’ve only got three tabs open in my browser. I can see the top of the table in my office for the first time in months. Science camp is over.

We made one last contraption in the living room before I put the rest of the stuff in its place (Physics was Friday). Take 3 was the best recording, but the final car didn’t launch so Michael decided to put in Take 14’s ending (this way you can watch one video instead of two):

We did some really great stuff this week.

I want to buy April a cupcake for saying, “Let’s do a science camp.”

So I don’t Forget: Monday-Botany, Tuesday-Electricity, Wednesday-Meterology, Thursday-Chemistry, Friday-Physics (simple machines, laws of motion)

Girl Scout Camp

Ellie is off at Girl Scout Camp this week with her BFF. Just for the days – neither one of us is ready for overnight camp. It’s good to have something to look forward to anyway.

Tuesday was Twin Day.

Up until Wednesday they had a great time. Wednesday: “Boy Scouts came and all they did was talk all day it was super boring.” I said to be sure to put it in her evaluation. (They didn’t just talk all day, there was a ‘nature walk’ with disposable cameras to record stuff.)

These long long days with both hands free has finally given me the time to finish the sheep.

Just need to decide on the ear color.

I’ve never run out of yarn on a project like this before. It makes me feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. I understand running out of chenille (it knits so much bigger than the listed gauge) but I should not be out of that dark grey. If my customer wants dark ears, I have to order more. The last scrap is in that too small example left ear.

I also mopped the whole house.

It’s been an eventful week.
