Here's the scoop from last week

But first.....today Catherine brings home a paper that tells us that her Betsy Ross Biography has been chosen to be presented in our school districts 6th annual Audio Visual Expo! :) There were 4 kids in her class that had their work selected to be submitted and Catherine's was chosen!!! :) That's just really cool...we live in a very large school district (we have 8 elementary schools in our district) and it will be neat to see her work among all of the others. Work from kindergarten up the the twelfth grade will be on display from each school, there will be over 200 pieces.

Last week was such a busy one!


Two mornings, I had to have the girls and I up and out of the house by 6:30 to go pick up coffee for our Mom's & Muffins (We had Bagels with Dad on the 15th earlier this month).


It was also the national turn off your TV week. Being the PTO president I thought it would be fun for our school to embrace it, and hold a couple fun events to help pass the time. Monday night we had a Game Night for the kids and the school Counselor held a Care & Share for the parents.

Thursday was our "Get Movin' Night" where we set up several fun stations for the kids to get active. The hit of the night was the obstacle course. We set up two identical lanes where friends could race each other. Even the parents would race their kids...too fun! I ran through it about 5 times. ;)

Thursday, the girls went with Bobby to work for the annual "Kids to Work Day". They had a great time. I meet them for lunch at a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. The girls got a kick out of seeing the Chef preform while he cooked lunch. I think the chef had an even better time picking on Catherine. :)
This week, I'm catching up on laundry and changing out the seasons...although the last couple days have been chilly! Work in progress though! :) I always hate it...it's such a big job because the 4 of us seem to have a lot of clothes, even though we all complain about not having any! :) I wonder if any of you can relate.
