A future in aerospace

I know I've mentioned Campbell's obsession with paper airplanes before...but he's just taken it to a new level. He's decided to start designing them himself. Here he is lying with some of his creations (on the top row, the bottom ones were folded by Grandma Mayer who was following "conventional" designs).









And, of course, they all have unique names. Imagine if you will:
Campbell: "Mommy, this one's name is 'Teen', can you write it on him?"
Me: "Teen?"
Campbell: "Nooooo, TEEN!"
Me: "'TEEN?"
Campbell: "Teeeeeeen. Tay, Tay, ta, Ta TEEN."
Me: "Keen?"
Campbell: "Yes, Teen."

And here's a Campbell original up close. Yes, we've gone downhill...WAY downhill. Instead of hundreds of paper airplanes flying around our house, we how have just crumpled balls of paper (aka trash) flying around our house.








...And guess which chub factory in our house is already 11 weeks and 16 lbs!
