Science fair

OK, last night was the school science fair.  It was combined with "reading night" which they do every couple of months.  The reading night part was about a trip around the world.  Our first stop was Russia, or room 108.  LOL

The teacher in Russia (room 108) has a daughter in law who is from Russia.  They set up a web cam and Anna talked quite a bit.  She taught them words in Russian, read "The Three Bears" in Russian (also translating) and revealed that in Russian, Goldilocks has no name....it's just "The Girl."

It was way cool, even though the school blew a fuse twice.  Sheesh, only in this tiny town.

From there, we headed to the cafegymatorium to enjoy the science fair.  Monica's project was the first one inside the door.  Coolness.  She was an obnoxious, giggling, bubbly freak around her friends, but the minute someone was interested in her project, she was all business.  Coolness, part deaux.

I got some new geek tools.  I'll explain later.  One of my favorites is a 1 gig flash drive.  I needed that REAL badly.  Yeah, I'm a geek, I guess.  Anyway, back to redneck:

Tomorrow, I'll head to Kansas Motor Speedway with my children.  Yup, Brett, Monica, Natalie and I will brave the threats of rain to watch the truck series drivers.  It'll be a blast.  I have tons of drinks and snacks to take along.  I'll take tons of pictures, so Russ may want to avoid my journal tomorrow.

Love ya, buddy!

OK, time to shove the kids down the stairs...errr, I mean...Kiss them goodnight.  Tomorrow will be a big day.  'Night, my friends!
