First day of school!!

Okay, I was excited to get started. I think I was alone in that thought. We started our day with geography. Today was matching geography words with their definition. Sounds fun, right?! It totally was! Our favorite word today was fjord. Who doesn't love a good Swedish word? Right?! lol  I started with that particular group of words because fjord was in Chapter 1 of "Kidnapped", which is Jesse's first reading book. She didn't love the book, but she didn't hate it. I'll take it!

Rosie is just too funny. Every time she hears me say "upstairs", she grabs her blanket then trots upstairs. Today was no different. Hank is getting used to the idea of being upstairs. He won't go upstairs until I'm on the stairs. He'll go up a couple of steps, then turn to see where I am. Once I start up the stairs he is gone. Rosie is perfectly at home. Today she spent time on her pillow (her upstairs bed), sprawled on the floor, and standing in front of me barking. She is a renaissance girl. ;) 

Last week I was going through some stuff in the classroom. I had a box from downstairs of things that belonged in the classroom. When I had the box empty, the pillow Hank has been laying on was next to me. Of course I put the pillow in the box to see what he would do. This is how he spent his day today.



Nope! He is NOT spoiled at all!!! :)

Well, I'm off to start a load of laundry, clean the kitchen then start dinner. Some things just never change.

Some days are not what you expect

I had originally made plans with some friends to go on a field trip today. However, everyone had to bail for one reason or another. So, John decided today would be a good day to drive up to Concord Mills.

I called my parents to see if they would be okay doggie sitting today. Of course, Dad said it would be fine. Fifteen minutes later we were dressed and on the road!

We had a great time. We spent most of our time at the Disney store and the Bass Pro Shop. We also browsed the LEGO store. I mean it is the LEGO store! lol  We avoided getting hit by the train, that rides through the mall, while making our way to Auntie Anne's for a pretzel.

Jesse has been working quite a bit on a few crochet projects. I told my parents about one of them over the weekend and hoped I would get pictures posted. I have not. Today, Jesse took her projects today to show them off. My Mom cracked up over the "plant" and my Dad got a chuckle over the "giraffe". I will get pictures (and maybe a video) posted soon. Now, you have something to look forward too. lol
