It’s still Thursday :) I just made it in… What a busy week… What I’m most thankful for at the moment is that we’re just 1 day away from vacation!!! Yippee!!! April vacation is a MUCH needed break… Kiddos are sick of us, we’re sick of them… and spring has sprung, finally!!! Today was a glorious day…
This will probably be the last time I comment about being School-Committee-Free… ’cause I’m sure that everyone is tired of how excited I am to be a newly School-Committee-Free family… But, Mike got to take Sean to cub scouts last night (lucky him), which meant that Kathryn and I could go to the mall and pick up a couple of things we “needed” for vacation… Love a little Girls Night Out… and the “awesome” (said in a sing-songy voice) new Vera I got with my birthday $20 off coupon… If you’re going on vacation, you need a bag that’s a little bit bigger… Plus, I “needed” the little all in one wallet (to fit better in the smaller purse I bought a while ago) and the key chain, just for fun, really didn’t need the keychain… *sigh* I seriously love Folkloric and want to own everything they make in this pattern… Have I mentioned that orange is my favorite color?
Had my monthly Zutter class tonight at Ink About It in Westford… Wonderful group of ladies, as always… I’m so thankful that everyone liked the project (many now come to class, project unseen!) and it’s so much fun to get out for the evening and chat with other crafty adults. We were talking after class and realized that next month will be my 1 year anniversary of teaching at the store!! Next month’s book will feature Bo Bunny papers… I’ll have the sample done soon… Linda at Ink About It is going to help us out and sponsor our upcoming Cards for the Cure event… More details about that special event coming very soon.
My kiddos had their Academic Fair at their school tonight… Here’s pics that Mike took (with his phone)…
Kathryn and her project about Ethiopia (and the Timkat celebration, essentially, Epiphany… the baptism of Jesus by John) Those people along the bottom are in the water, waiting their turn to be baptized… They look kinda sad… According to Kathryn, they are sad ’cause Jesus cut them in line… but that’s ok, they all got baptized later, and it was Jesus, she’d let him cut in line too… I don’t know where she gets these stories!! I’m pretty sure that’s not exactly how the events unfolded…
And Sean… His project on Ireland… 5 objects… His cap, lamb (wool, yarn and knitting), towel, my lire necklace (most brought back from Ireland by Nana and Pa)… Plus, some information about a haunted castle that’s now a hotel… Thankfully he had Ireland for his country, ’cause he waited til the last minute to tell me he needed “items” from his country… If HE had Ethiopia, we would have been in trouble :)
Happy Thursday… And Happy Almost Vacation!!!
