My super handsome hubby, driving to the concert **sigh** :)

and when we got there, we sat about 2/3 of the way back, just in case Jordan didn’t do well in the chapel.  He did pretty well, although he asks a lot of questions like why does the king want to get rid of Jesus? What is that red thing? Is that Jalen’s Class? Where is William? Wow, you guys were awesome! Mom, I tell them they were awesome! funny kid.  thankfully the people right in front of us were amused and not irritated by his running commentary.

Jalen and his class sang 2 songs and they were just awesome!

Can you spot our cutie? (back row, third from the right) shot with my 50mm 1.4 as I didn’t want to bust out the huge zoom!

here’s a little better view of him in the Jumbotron (hee hee, I’m sure they call it something else…)

Thanks for stopping by!

Love Love and Merry Christmas!

Blog you again real soon!

Monday was Jalen’s first day at his new school, so on Sunday night we did a uniform check. shorts, check. shirt check. belt, uh, where is that belt? Looking high and low… I finally found it in the backpack with the loads of school supplies we were to carry into the classroom on Monday morning.  I cut off the tags and made him try it on.  Jalen says it fits.  I look. Son, if you have to use the last hole, it doesn’t fit. Okay, technically it does fit, but I don’t like the look of it.  Hey, look at this other belt you have in your closet, try this web belt on. Thankfully that one fit, both the waist and the uniform standard, whew!  On Monday morning we drove to the school, armed with all the supplies on the list and headed into the classroom.

that’s Jalen’s desk with the red target bag full of notebooks!  There are 20 students in the class, 3 of them girls.  Here is a shot with his teacher:

So far we’re doing well with getting Jalen to school as early as allowable and Jordan to school right on time (although struggling for parking at his school) and I’m just hoping it’ll start to feel like a routine and less like a big ball of stress. I am not a fan of being late.   We also took Flat Troy to visit Jordan’s classroom.  Jordan cheesing it up with Dad outside the class:

Introducing Flat Dad to Aunty Chris:

Jordan wanted to show flat dad some of his favorite toys.  These are from the water table outside:

These are a puzzle with different textures and you have to match the bases with the pegs:

these are kind of blurry, sorry, but they are cool velcro blocks.

we also showed flat dad our morning work:

I thought it was really funny that the kids have flat versions of themselves to put up for attendance.  Flat Dad visited Flat Jordan:

one of the bookshelves in the classroom:

can you guess the book I liked? hee hee!  and my two favorites from the day, there are two pair of creepy/cool glasses in the room.

two last tidbits.  we played hi ho cherry o the other night with flat dad:

would you believe, he won?!

thanks for stopping by!  I am working on my time management skills as I have so many things floating around, not getting done. I am trying to embrace that saying I said at the beginning of the year, I will do it now (DIN DIN!)  I have more pictures from Troy’s last two port stops and I will work on getting those up and all my scrappy stuff is feeling neglected.  I think I am going to stay up late tonight and work on it!

Love Love and Blog you later!

I made the teachers thank you cards, brought them lei and gifties for the last day.  My card was inspired by a card I saw on the blog hop.

( http://sideoatsandscribbles.wumple.com/?p=1791 )

the clouds and woodgrain are hero arts background stamps, the patterned paper on the banner are from the Oct Afternoon  Cherry Hill pad. I love how it came out, although the word was a little longer than I anticipated, it’s okay with me. ;)

also I have been continuing on with my crocheting… i’m hooked, hee hee, and on Row 14 of my scarf. here’s what it looks like right now:

5 more rows to go, then fringe! wheeee!

I also tried out the embroidery floss to make those cute little flowers, ahhh I love it!

Today was a busy first day of Summer. We ran to the post office, picked up an ebay purchase from israel.check.  drove out to Kahala to pick up a dental health certificate for Jordan’s new preschool.check. went to the new preschool to pay deposit, buy a shirt and turn in paper work.check. home to pick up checks in the mail (yay!).check. off to the bank for deposits. check, check, check, check! home for lunch, legos and nap.  I tortured Jalen with a writing assignment, and I crocheted nap time away.  Still need to make a run to the commisary, but over all today was a day with things checked off the list, and that’s always a good thing.

Flat Joscie’s trip to Toronto was documented on Miss Mint’s blog. so.cute. Did I tell you I did a silhouette card tutorial over there?

Tomorrow (or the next day) I’ll be back with news about my lego project, my new printing toy, memory makers, and scrapbook dimensions projects.  Til then, thanks for stopping by my piece of paradise!

Love Love and Blog you later!
