My husband is a scientist. He's an experimental physicist who likes nothing better than to go down to his lab and align his lasers. In fact, asking him about his experiment right before sleeping is a really bad idea because it will keep him up and he won't be able to sleep! I think he picked the right field because he likes to think about his experiments all the time.
So, knowing that, you would think that our family would be experts when it comes time for the school science fairs. But no, we are lousy. We are especially terrible at picking projects. But I'm okay with that. My husband never did a science fair project when he was growing up and he still liked science enough to get a Ph.d in it.
I also think our projects are not big winners because the kids mostly do the projects on their own. But it's really for them in the first place.
Here's our latest project. Talmage didn't win any awards but it got done on time. And isn't 80% of life just showing up? I think he might have even enjoyed doing it too. Look how happy he is in that picture!
