Oops!


Hayden had his school science fair last night. All students in the school had to complete a science project, that included even kindergarteners. Hayden picked his experiment. (Have I mentioned that we do science projects all of the time. He wanted all kinds of science experiments for Christmas.) He decided to make blood, have it solidify and make it look like a scab. So, he did the actual science project with Thomas' help and it turned out great!

The kids had to put their hypothesis, results, etc. on a big 3 panelled display board. Hayden is in kindergarten, so Thomas typed up his hypothesis, results, processes, materials, etc. on the computer. The top 3 projects from each class were chosen for the science fair and Hayden was picked. Yeah!

Me, Thomas, Hayden and Brooklyn went into the science fair last night and started looking at the projects and my first reaction was, maybe we shouldn't have tried so hard, Hayden's was looking really good. Then, I realized we were in the 6th grade section. Once I got to the kindergarten section, I knew that we had completely overdone it! In fact, there were several parents and staff congratulating Thomas and me for doing such a wonderful science project and asked us if we had fun. Oops, at least Hayden had fun doing the experiment. Plus, the kids at school all thought he was so cool for having blood in petrie dishes. Oh well, live and learn.
