Back to School

September 1st, 2010  |  Published in Everyday Life  |  Leave a Response

I was channel surfing recently and came across Grease 2.  How can you go wrong with songs like “Cool Rider” and “Where Does the Pollen Go?”?  Anyway, the movie’s opening song “Back to School”  came to my mind as I titled this post.  I’m very glad today isn’t my boys’ first day of high school!

Things I like about school (I think I’ve already blogged plenty about what I don’t like):

  • making lunchbox notes every morning

  • praying for each other on the drive to school
  • seeing (and visiting with) my mom friends at drop-off and pick-up
  • being constantly amazed by my boys and their abilities, creativity, and perseverance

:-)

Have a great Wednesday!

It still sounds old.

It doesn’t feel that old.

:-)

The boys have brainstormed a list of things to do today…treating me to coffee, taking me to the movies, to dinner, etc.  I hope birthday cake is in there somewhere too!

Have a great Monday!

My youngest and I thoroughly enjoyed our owl outing.

He was the keeper of the park map.  Funny how we kept finding our way back to the owl exhibits.

Lesson learned

Mac’s still looking guilty, isn’t he?!

He’s no longer in the doghouse, but every once in awhile, he’ll look at me like this…maybe to express his regret.

I had to learn this lesson the hard way, as my family photo files were finally labeled unretrievable.  I have always backed up client work, but had not always done so with family photos.

Ouch – it hurts!

I have some files here and there, so I’m in the gathering process…hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Mac may be scruffy and his manners may be quite lacking, so it’s a good thing he’s cute!

We had a great time this past week as we enjoyed a visit from vacationing friends.  We went to the zoo, to the beach, even the movies.  We loved just being with them.

I love prints on canvas, and I have been waiting to hang these for quite some time now.

The paint was selected over 9 months ago…

but the room is almost done – yeah!

I’ll post a photo of the finished product soon…I hope.
