Busy, busy, busy

We have had such a busy week! Last week was student appreciation week at Brady's school. I spent three days there during recess or lunch helping with the activities. I love going to her school and seeing her face light up when she sees me.I know it won't last forever so I will take advantage of it now. Although my mother was a fixture at my high school helping sell hot dogs for our class trip and I never got tired of seeing her there so hopefully she will feel the same way. I also got asked to co-chair the hospitality committee. I, of course, said yes. It puts me on the executive board of the PTA. (pin a rose on my nose!) I am sure many would find that boring, but I am tickled anyway! I will do anything to make Brady's school years a positive one to see that she gets set on the right track from day one. By the time Oliver gets to elementary school, I will be a permanent fixture! I have been warned by the other mothers that boys are different than girls when they see mom at the school. They don't want you to acknowledge them , and you must NOT hug them in public. Boo hoo.




Michael had camp cleanup on Saturday. I think they got a lot of work completed. I couldn't stay long. It was a little too chilly for Oliver. It was Oliver's first visit to the camp and he spent it riding on my back in the frame pack. Dylan was very helpful. He was assigned to pick up the sticks so the guys could mow. He was a pretty good sport about it and seemed to move a little faster and work a little harder when Uncle Mike offered him five dollars to get ALL of them! I apologize for the wretched picture of me. You never realize how bad you really look until you have to face it in a picture. But, I wanted to show Oliver riding in the framepack.
Brady had her class picture today. They take the whole class at the end of the year. I thought she looked beyond sweet in her outfit and I had to share the picture. She loves to get dressed up. When I commented to her that I love that she is such a girly girl, she looked at me like I had two heads. And said, "Nuh uh, I like Pokeman cards just like Dylan and Dulcie." I had no idea how uncool it was to be a girly girl!
