Science Fair

Everyone in Taylor's science class is required to do a science fair project. Both of us didn't want to put that much effort into it. A girl in her class did one with a lie detector. I did not want to grow plants or make some explosion...so she came up with a great topic...How permanent is permanent marker? We looked around the house for products and thus began our science fair adventure. We did what we thought was a good job for a good grade but was not shooting for the stars. She turned it in and was glad to be done. The next day her teacher announced that 5 kids of the 40 in class were chosen to be judged in their Jr high. The first one...Taylor...she looked around to see if there was another Taylor....nope. She came home and we both cracked up that the teacher thought it was so good. I was just glad to know we got an A. The the next day she came home and said it was chosen out of her whole Jr high to go to the district science fair. WHAT!!! This is starting to get really funny until I saw that we have to set up the project for judging and go to a 3 hour awards night. We barely wanted to do the project and now we are up for awards. Imagine if we tried. The dad of the little girl with the lie detector test came and talked to the teacher about why she was not chosen. I told Taylor to tell him that he can come set up your project for you if it means so much to him. I will let everyone know how we do at district after our 3 hour award ceremony...yeah. When I take Taylor to school I keep telling her we can take this to state and nationals...



I forgot that many of you probably are dying to know the results of our project. Then you may come to the 3 hour judging and awards night too:)

GO TAYLOR!!!!!!!
