Wednesday October 14

Well, Dad woke up feeling pretty lousy this morning.

He must have Elsie's cold, but his throat is hurting too.

I am sure the smoke is making things worse for him too.

But he has been miserable!

I did go running today, but my lungs burned.

Maybe not the best thing to do.......

Then I got to go help in Elsie's class for Art Smart.

The kids did a still life today.

I was frustrated....okay VERY frustrated that Elsie was gone for more than half of the time in speech therapy.

Another one of those things.......

She gets speech at home.

Is it necessary that she misses out on the things her class mates are doing to go to speech?

Am I making too big of a deal.

When she finally made it to class, she saw all the kids drawing and started crying.

I took her out and calmed her down.

She told me that she thought she had missed Art Smart :(

That is why she was crying.

She loves art.....and yes, I would rather her not go to speech and go to Art Smart!

But is that the best for her?

I don't know....

Anyway, she had a blast once we got there.

The kids worked with oil pastels, and I might be biased, but I think Elsie's was my favorite!

Then I brought the kids home from school, and the big kids were already home.

They had snacks and we tried to get some reading and homework done before I left with Elsie and Cassi to Activity Days.

I stayed with Elsie again.

The other leader is out from a surgery, so I stayed to help.

Elsie has so much fun....I just want her to know she doesn't have to have me there with her the whole time!

Anyway, this was Cassi's last Activity Days.

Next month she will be a Beehive :)

Yay!

But every one in AD was pretty bummed......she is a loved girl :)

So then we came home, and I made some burgers for dinner.

We hurried and ate before Madi and I had to leave for YW.

Tonight we went to Linder Farms, as favorite activity for everyone :)

The hardest part is rounding everyone up after!!!!!!

Luckily we got back to the church at a pretty decent time.

While at Linder Farms, I started feeling yucky :(

I don;t know if it is because of the smoke, or if I am getting sick too.

BOO!

I hope Dad feels better!

He may have to take a sick day for tomorrow, cause if he feels anything like he felt today, it will be a terrible day for him!
