I should be sewing.  Or doing homework. But I am blowing idle time sitting at the PC.  Why do I do this to myself?  I dunno.  I suck.  ;)  N did science camp this week and LOVED it.  It was his first full day (9-3 anyway) camp and it really seemed to be well organized and well run.

His stuff makes me smile and cry - in a good way!  Chelli - I really think you would get a kick out of his art!  :)
