That Holiday's Over

Back to school tomorrow! (here's Nanaw doing a happy dance!) They're only going to be in school for 3 weeks and 3 days, out 2 half days, then out until Jan. 7th for Christmas holidays, so I don't have too long to prepare for ole Santa to visit.



I did put my tree up and it looked pretty nice but it just needed a little something.

Jerri and Bubbie and the chicklets came over, so Jerri, being one of the Martha Stewart Queens of the family, took some red ribbon I'd bought, some old flowers, and fixed it right up.


Looks rite purdy now, don't it?

Zach has two projects due on Friday for Science and Social Studies, it took a little persuasion, but I convinced him that he needed to finish them up this weekend because the week ahead is looking pretty full. Tomorrow night he and MeriKate have to be in a music performance, Tuesday night and Thursday night is Tae Kwon Do, and Saturday their MA tests. (it was supposed to have been a couple of weeks ago but the instructor keeps giving them extra time to work on their skills)

Here's his Food Chain for his Science project. (thank goodness for foam stickers and clipart).

I expect to be in a fairly grumpy mood tomorrow due to having to spend the entire day with James so I can assist him in the purchase of a farm truck. He's not buying a new one this time, we just lose so much the minute he drives one off the lot and onto the farm, so for the first time in years we're going through a bank. It seems to make a happy difference that the bank is owned by our insurance company cause the interest rate is about 2 % lower.

Ya'll pray that I don't end up in the slammer for murder due to the fact that we're not very compatible partners when conducting business.
