Tuesday September 8

You know how the day after your trip, the kiddos are always overtired?

Well, ya, that is how today went.

Actually everyone was pretty good today, except Elsie bug.

I let her sleep as long as possible.

She was so excited to go to school to tell all her friends about her trip to Wyoming.

Then about 2 minutes before we left, nothing was going on, we were just getting lunches in bags and stuff....

She starts crying and saying she didn't want to go.

Dad tried to get her happy and excited about going to school.

I printed a picture of her and the Buffalo's from yesterday, when we stopped to say bye to the Buffalo's.

She got a little bit happier.

Got to school and she wouldn't let me leave.

I even went in when they pulled her in for Friendship circle.'I probably should have left then, but I didn't want Elsie to throw a fit.

So I sat and listened to their little circle time stuff.

When they started doing work, I asked Ms. Dynka if I should just leave, and she said that would be best.

Elsie was not happy that I left, but I didn't hear crying.

After school she told me that she got better, but that she had a rough afternoon.

After school we had Joanne come over.

She worked so good, and then like a light switch, she shut down.

Would not do a thing!

So ya, it was a rough day.

Hopefully we got her in bed early enough tonight for her to get a good nights sleep.

Port and the boys played as soon as they got home from school.

They have so much fun.

They are pretty good kids too, messy, but good.

They are very creative too.

Justin stopped by to bring some pots he borrowed over, and he brought his boys.

It was fun to watch the whole clan of boys together!

I can just see the trouble (and broken things) that the future brings!!!!!

Oh, and dad took me this evening to get a dresser type thing that we will reinvent and use in the butlers pantry area. 

He wasn't super excited about getting it (we got it from someone on craigslist), but I think he will be happy about it once we get it put in and together :)

Whenever that is.......
