Momma Skill No. 18864 – School Project Master

My oldest Girlie (8)ย has one of the best imaginations and most creative minds. That said, it sometimes seems as if she uses that amazing imagination to set me up whenever project time comes around for school.ย Not only does my Girlieย come up with some of the most creative but at times hardest ideas andย she is always determine to make them true to her vision – putting my Momma Skills to the test!
 

Walk UP A Wall…!

 

When she came home a few weeks ago and told me that she had a Social Studies project where she needed to invent a product, create a sales pitch and then sell the product I knew I was in for a challenge. Especially when she got to the part about what her product was: aย shoe that let you walk up a wall, that’s right – walk UP a wall!

 

I immediately started trying to figure out the actual physics of it all. How was I supposed to give her a way to show a show walking up the side of a wall? Thankfully, I only need to worry about the technical side of things because she always has the artistic side covered. This little girlย can draw pretty much anything she thinks of and if she can see it she can copy it.
