Well so it begins...the night before freak out or actually in this case, the very un-Destinee like cool and collected "No problem, I can get this together" school project. The assignment that of course she has known about for weeks and if I had known, the exact same one I would have been nagging her about was to create a pet rock...yes school projects at their best....well so I come home from some training I had to take for school and see her with my Slice machine (similar to Cricut (of which I have too) just smaller) cutting out some letters..of which almost brought a fake tear to my eye that she thought to use it,so I think "Hey,maybe Ill just leave it to her to do this project all on her own and it will look tremendous" (okay that's a little strong..I would settle for good) but alas when the dry erase markers come out to start writing with, the "I can't let my kid take THAT to school" came out and I stepped in. Now some of you moms out there (the very few that even read my blog) might think creatively "assisting" your kids with school assignments is bad but oh well I work at the same place my kids go to school and I couldn't bear the looks of shame or whispered conversations in the teachers lounge about "The mother that let her child turn in the "We'll be talking about that project for years..and not favorably-project in." Are you laughing yet...I hope so cause don't care nearly that much...however do want my kid to get a good grade...so pipe cleaners, yarn, and googly eyes start flying and though its a small pic here is the finished project!! See if you can click on it and enlarge it so you can read the middle part...hey, at least her teacher would laugh!!
