Let me just say, for the record, I hate school projects. I hated them when I was a kid, and I hate them now. I can't cut, I can't glue, and I'm SO not creative, SO when Kameron came home with a turkey to decorate I procrastinated BIG time. Tonight we finally got down to it... when is it due? Tomorrow. Yes. Tomorrow. Great lesson I'm teaching my kids! *sigh* We ran to Wal-Mart after school to buy supplies, only to find out the supplies I bought were not exactly right so I called my mom over to stay with my kids so I could go get the
right supplies, and then my mom did most of the cutting for me... because I can't cut. You think I'm joking, but I'm not! Seriously.
Anyway, Kameron's mission was to make his turkey look like he's NOT a turkey so he doesn't get eaten for Thanksgiving. Poor turkey. What do you think, can you tell he's a turkey?
THEN we had Kassidy's project to do. Yes, 2 projects, both due tomorrow, and I procrastinated on both. I suck. LOL Hers was a little more fun for me at least... we had to do a timeline of her life... we used a little tape and my craft cutter and viola! Kassidy's whole 9 years on one paper. NOW getting her to write small enough to make the sentences FIT was another story. I think I need some Calgon... or at least some chocolate! Ahhhhhh Goodnight everybody!

Sounds just like me!!I am the world's biggest procrastinator and so not creative!! I so didn't know it was a turkey.....resembles a small, yellow, square panted guy I've seen before.
They both came out great. I had to do a project with Kaitlyn recently. It was a project on families. We had to send in stuff that described our family. Thankfully I had this all done already from when Natalie was in 1st grade. So I just had Kaitlyn decorate a shoe box and then I gave Kaitlyn the pictures that were in Natalie's box from three years ago. I had to find a few more recent pictures of Kaitlyn and one of her when she was a baby, but luckily it ended up being a fairly simple project for me. I wanted to find her scrapbook for her to share with her class from her first year, but no luck. We've had a couple of moves since she was 1 so I'm not entirely sure where the scrapbook is right now. I like the picture projects though. The kids get such a kick out of looking at the "old" pictures.
I'm with you on this! I hated having to make projects as a kid, and now that Kayla is in school I dislike making her projects too LOL I don't have art supplies on hand, I'm not creative either, I don't know what to do with her projects LOL
I think the turkey, oops, I mean, sponge bob, looks GREAT! Wonderful job!
Are you sure our families aren't related? I'm not very creative either and we ALWAYS wait til the last day to get these projects done. My oldest son has a science project due in May. We will see when we actually start on it. LOL
You guys did a great job! You would never know that you guys did them in 1 night they look great Well done guys! A+
I must be the geek in the room! I loved projects! I really struggled with essays but as soon as I could add pictures and stuff like that I loved them!
I love doing school projects, at least most of them. The turkey, I mean Sponge Bob, turned out great, and I love the time line of pictures.
The Spongebob Turkey looks great!!! I'm with you on the school projects. But both of them turned out well- I really like the timeline idea- I wish Avery's teacher would do that one!
Is it just me or is Kassidy's timeline missing one important adult? Mommy should be in something too. Even if mommy doesn't like her picture taken.
I remember those days..one daughter had to do it immediately after it was assigned..no peace until it was done. The other daughter procrastinated until the last minute. Tell Kameron I love Sponge Tom!
I'm right there with ya. That's one of the things that I am NOT looking forward to for Dillon's future...school projects, NO!!
GREAT JOB;)

Oh girl...that is me over and over again. I hate projects. I just had an Native American Indian project to do for my 4th Grader that included a typed report, bibliography, title page and a huge poster board with all kinds of Indian stuff on it. I hate that.
But .... it got done, and it was probably the best one there (lol).....i hope anyway.
I am soooooooooo not creative and hope to not have another one of those for years.
2 projects in 1 night!?!? I am so sorry. But you did a great job! Bravo.
Oh I just loathe school projects, and every time you turn around there is another one. We have this "tree of thankfulness" coming up that I am not thankful for at all LOL
You're probably getting deja vu like I am, Kameron is probably doing the same projects Kassidy did two years ago... just substitute Arline and Aidan...
Those projects look great for the night before though! And oh can I relate!
(And yes you can say coulda shoulda woulda ;-)
How funny is that!! My 8 yr old daughter had to do the same turkey project and last year my son did the whole life project. I guess Ohio is on the same school schedule as you!!
