Fish feeding children during a rainy field trip (another wet/rain entry) who do not seem to mind the drizzle that came before they boarded that raft. The field trip chaperones were just glad that this was a roofed raft because it afforded protection from the elements:

Two paper houses that I made as models for the younger daughter’s Science project about backyard setting and decorative plants. We decided to do 99% paper crafts for this one:

Here is a pointillism project that my eldest child, a high schooler and the older sister to the younger daughter, did.

She worked hard on that project and used several pens. I think she finished it about two weeks before the due date. No time wasted as even if she watches the television at night when homework has been done, she worked on this slowly.
