Thankfuls

*Faith went to her first Daisy Scout meeting yesterday and had a BLAST! Be ready, folks... we're going to be hitting you up to buy some cookies soon!


*I had coffee this morning with a friend with all kids in daycare or school! We both are moms to 4, so I think we were both just so thankful to be without any even if for only an hour :-)


*Finally finished cutting out pumpkins and moons for Josh's Pre-K class. There were SO many... I think I will be dreaming of pumpkins tonight


*Grace's school had 2nd Grade night tonight. Their school doesn't do routing conferences except at midyear (unless there is a problem). So... the teachers decided that it was important for the parents to see what happens in the classroom. So, the kids brought us in and had an agenda that they had to go through with us. So fun! Grace dragged me all over that room :-) They did a play that was super cute.



*A great friend agreed to watch the little three so I could take Grace to her night at school and concentrate on HER


*G's teacher said she's doing very well! She said her (the teacher's) biggest challenge is keeping her occupied. Everything comes so easily that she gets done and then gets bored ... and talkative. I guess there are are a few similarities in us :-)


*Glee tonight :-)


*Grace had her first school project this week. A diorama of a Great White shark's habitat. I really had to struggle to NOT do it for her. Pretty cute, huh? The only things that I did were suspend him and help with the glue. Well... I helped with shaping him, but only a little (he is clay on top of a pool toy and the clay was REALLY hard). I started with the shaping just to show Grace a technique to doing it :-) She used some of my craft supplies to make seaweed (see the green string) and drew her own fish -- this was hard for me...



*we went to Burger King for dinner because of the school thing... it was at an awkward time to eat before and then it would have taken too long to make something (I know, I know... excuses). Anyway, Sam likes ketchup :-) Lots and lots of ketchup. French fries are optional... as long as the ketchup keeps coming!
