Project!

Ah, school projects. They come up so quickly and there seems to be so many other things to do besides actually do them when you think of them. So they get put off until late Sunday night. Poor Aydan just had her first late night project- and she's only in 2nd grade! It was at 10:30 that I remembered the huge project that Aydan needed to complete (okay, begin). It was due on Monday morning! After a mini panic attack-I couldn't scar my child by not turning the project in on time! Rich and I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to wake up Aydan and get started on her project. About 10 minutes later, we finally succeeded in waking her up, and ran her upstairs so that she could begin work on the project. She had the sewing machine going making blankets for her Princess and the Pea project, stuffing batting, and covering things in the strings left behind by hot glue. I do have to say that the Princess's bed looked great when we (I mean she) finished. When she took it to school the next morning, the first thing she told her teacher was that her parents had woken her up in the middle of the night to do her project and that she had gotten to bed at 12:30.
