Between Jax and Dex there are three big projects due this week. Jax has a science fair project to do (we opted not to be in the science fair this year but then found out that all 4th graders needed to do a science project). Dex has to do a biography project (research the person whom he would like to study, write biography, create a costume for that person and present it at "Wax Museum Night") and a community project (create a shoe-box sized business/store front, decorating the outside in a way that will help others identify it as well as to add trees, bushes, etc on the outside). On top of this they have their regular homework.

Jax has done his experiment and now it is just designing and putting together the display board. Dex is studying Tony Hawk so at least the costume part will be very easy. He chose a "Subway" sandwich shop for his community project so it should be simple enough to do but just time-consuming.

So, I get to spend my mother's day helping out with projects. At least it is quality time with the kids, right?
