Thursday Sept. 8 (add pictures!)

I got to do Art smart for Port's class today.

It turned out to be a lot of fun!

It is for the Square 1 art project which is the fundraiser we do for Art smart.

They take the project and then you can order it as a pillow, hot pad, key chain....anything.

It is fun for the kids to see their art made into things!

I had the kids do self portraits.....with paper :)

They turned out so cute!

Port has a really good class and I was impressed with how well they listened.

It will be a fun year of art with them!

We got some stuff done at home.

Brent returned the light that we had in our bathroom that was a light that was supposed to last 12 years......

So he returned that and replaced it.

Then he also put in the can lights above the stairs!

Yay :)

We started looking at and figuring out how we can make the light that Bubbles gave us work for the entry way.......

Brent wants to just get a new one.

I say what's the harm in trying to re-do this one?!?!

Except that it is just one more project.........

Especially when it is a very large light for free!

Well, then I had to leave to get Elsie from school because she was having a hard time.

It seems to be about 2:00 that she starts to melt down.

I asked Ms. Halstead about maybe having to just pick Elsie up at 2.

Maybe she is just done with school by then.

She said that is an idea, but to maybe wait a couple weeks and see how it goes.

So we will see.

Anyway.....then the run around started.....

Picking up Port......then Dad took him with him to go to Cassi's Volleyball game in Eagle.

I took Madi to work and then Elsie and I had to deliver some pictures.

Then we came back to Mary Mac for the Back to School night.

I really am happy about the teachers my kids have this year and I think it will be a great year......if we can make it past that 2:00 hour!!!!!

Then Elsie and I worked on the homework she missed while throwing her fit at school and coming home early.

It worked pretty nicely to just have her and I and no others to distract her.

Got that done and picked Madi up from work.

When we came home, Dad and Cassi and Port were home.

After the game those two kids got to have a little daddy/daughter/son date and went to dinner at Sizzler :)

Then they bought a volleyball net so Cass can practice her serves.

I finally convinced everyone they needed to come in to get SLEEP!!!!!!!!!
