Off to a busy start...

Well, it is Tuesday already & we are off to a busy start this week. It is a short week for the kids at school, but not short for me!! Mac had a double header (football) game on Sunday afternoon that took all afternoon into early evening. The first game ended on very negative note with coaches & parents arguing/shouting in front of the kids. It was HORRIBLE!!! we did win fair & square, but our opponents didn't think so. There have been other teams that have had problems with this particular Coach, so I know it wasn't just us...but still, it's for the kids & he took the joy out of it....anyhow, enough about that. It was just very infuriating! Had a busy Monday, but nothing out of the norm. We did make brownies last night, as you can see....it's the kids favorite & Pat's too! I have been working the book fair at Mac's school & I am trying to prepare myself to teach an hour long art lesson to Mac's class tomorrow. I am bit freaked bcz I don't know a whole about art! But' I think it will all go ok. I have been studying up on what elements a painting or picture needs to have like foreground, background, focal point, a horizon etc. See... I already sound like an expert! LOL... it is part of a volunteer program that keeps art alive in the schools bcz so many programs have been cut due to low funds. so, guess it's a good thing. There is no school on Thursday or Friday, but we do have Mac's first teacher/parent conference on Thursday evening. I really like his teacher, she has a GREAT sense of humor. We plan on leaving Friday morning to go over to the cabin in LaPine and spend the weekend there. Mac also has NO SCHOOL on Monday! I cannot remember having that much time off from school when I was his age- anyhow, busy week. I am looking forward to LaPine trip. Hopefully there will be some snow to play in! I will definitely have pictures to post when we get back. Talk to ya all later! OH...one more thing, need some prayers for Pam Mills mother, Jerry. She is fighting breast cancer at the moment and has been in ICU with double pneumonia, plz pray for her to get enough strength back to get better. Thanks Much!
