Whooo doesn't like something cute?

I don't know about you, but it's been a long week here.  Between a major sinus infection, an ant infestation in our classroom, getting read for the annual open house night at school and being my daughter's personal taxi, I am happy for another quiet Sunday.  I wanted to share what we did with our kiddos to decorate the bulletin board in front of our room.  Wanted to do something fall-ish but something that we could keep up all year long and have the kids add things to it.  Came up with an owl theme.  What do you think?

The kids had so much fun painting then decorating their owls.  We let them go, didn't correct them by telling them where the eyes and wings should go. We showed an example and let them go.  It is truly their own work and for a class of 3, 4 and 5 year olds they did a great job. Here is one up close. Too cute!!  

We never forget

Finally a quiet day!

It has been a long couple of weeks.  I always look forward to the Labor Day weekend, having an extra day and all but this time around it wasn't so relaxing.  It started well enough: I celebrated my birthday and took my daughter Em, shopping for her homecoming dress and had a great birthday dinner with the family.  Then the wheels fell off.  I dropped my phone in my glass of water, completely frying it. It was such a freak accident but I was still so mad.  Tried the rice but it didn't work, so I had to replace it.  The kids car stopped working....AGAIN! and I decided I didn't need potholders to handle a pan I just took out of the oven 10 minutes before.  OUCH!!  Then the weepy emotions took over after the hand burning incident when I had to drive Daniel to his rides house so he could go back to college.  Not a stellar weekend. And why is it when you have a holiday from work, the 4 day week seems to last FOREVER?   At least this weekend has been pretty quiet, minus my constant sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. I did manage to complete my Mizzou wreath in time for their debut in the SEC.  Would have been perfect if they could have won.  Here is how it turned out:

Who is your favorite college team and what do you do to celebrate them?

So now I am going to do nothing for the rest of the day!  Hope you are having a quiet day!!
