Day 139.  Jr. High is such an adventure, for parents.  This week we are making mousetrap cars.  This is the first prototype that Maggie and I built.  Once we get it finished then I will help Dugan with his.  He doesn't want his to look like hers.  I forgot how fun 8th grade science is.  In the mean time I get to help Annie make an Indian pueblo in a shoe box.  I don't mind, because I think these things are fun.  Stacy helps them with Math, Speech, and English.  What do kids do when their parents don't or won't help with school work.  I'm glad we are able to help.  It keeps us all connected.  I don't know everything that my kids get into, but I know most of it, and they aren't afraid to talk to us.  So, I will continue to help with science projects and band trips, or what ever it takes.  Children are a blessing from the Lord, and blessed is the man whose quiver is full.  I am blessed and I know it.
