And We’re Off!

Filed Under: science fair, unschooling

Well, we’ve had a good number of folks sign up for the 1st Annual Road Less Traveled Science Fair and we couldn’t be more excited! Iain is trying to narrow down his project from a few different ideas but we’ll definitely have chosen something by this weekend.

If you haven’t signed up for the Science Fair, it’s not too late! Just leave me a comment AND email me at unschoolingwhimsigal@gmail.com and I’ll send you the picture to put on your blog. Even if you don’t have a blog, email me and we’ll figure something out!

Here are the list of participants thus far:

Mama Podkayne and Lil’Bug
Carri and Catelynn
Stephanie S. and her two littles
MamaK
Me and Iain
Sean and Ryan
Rebecca and Spencer (from shine with unschooling yahoo group)
Deeg
Karen and Daughter
PiscesGrrrl and Son are a maybe

Please sign up if you’re interested, the more the merrier! We’d love to have you join us.

I had something else I was going to post but in between squirrel-killing dogs and maniac kids running around I lost my train of thought. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go clean the dead squirrel off the patio before my dogs go crazy over it. If I remember what I was going to post, I’ll come back and edit this later!

    Jonathan’s considering it… he’s pondering, “Hmm… that’s a toughie.” He’s actually working on a very elaborate football project right now but I’m not sure he wants the pressure of having it *done*. Can we just post what he’s got done by 4/19? I actually think he doesn’t want it to finished because he’s enjoying it so much!

    Cool idea, Iain!!! I’ve been encouraging Jonathan to have his own blog – maybe this will interest him.

    Well, I’m all new to your blog, but a Science Fair sounds like fun. Do I need to know right away what our project is going to be? I just have no clue at the moment, but could sit down in the next couple of days with my daughter and see what she’d like to do.

    You’re more than welcome to join us! Iain is still trying to decide on a project, too. It’s not a competition so whatever you decide to do is cool with us!

    Thanks for signing on!

    I look forward to seeing them. It’s very relaxing to view other projects after my daughter has already completed hers! Dead squirrel – yuck.

    Joan, we had ANOTHER dead squirrel this morning plus we had a live mouse caught in a glue trap yesterday. It’s been a gruesome few days around here. Hey, maybe that could be our project….hmmmm maybe not!

    LOL

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
