visitors day, japan, & projects

Last Thursday (see, I’m a week behind…arrrggghh!) was Visitors Day at the boys school. The theme this year was It’s a small world and it was very, very cute. John couldn’t make it so my mom came along so each boy had a visitor in their classroom. They started in the gym with a Japanese story and song that they all played on their recorders. Then it was off to the classrooms (in which I had exactly 7.5 minutes each) to hear some presentations on Japan and see the haiku’s the boys wrote along with the art they made. It was a really great Japan presentation. You could totally tell how hard the whole class (and the teachers) worked on the whole thing. And both boys received HUGE compliments from their teachers on their Haiku’s.

Grandma took the boys out to lunch while I took Timmy to PT & OT. Even though I felt bad I couldn’t be in two places at once (I really wanted to take them out to lunch), they didn’t really seem to mind as they each ended up going with Grandma to the store and getting 5 new Kooky Pens each. And on a side note about those Kooky Pens…they have so many now, that Patrick’s backpack actually broke under the weight of all the pens hanging off the zipper today.

In other news around here, I am working on a few photographic projects around the house. Went to HomeGoods and just about bought them out of frames. I have a project in mind for the den, living room, and timmy’s room for now. Then moving on to the boys room and our room last. Might even throw something in the dining room someplace in there too. Ya know, in all my free time! I will post pictures when each project gets moving. Maybe some before & afters.

Getting everyone ready for the big wedding (grandma & grandpa’s) on this Sunday. It should be a whole lot of fun!
