What a weekend. On Friday afternoon, we removed the furniture and taped Emma's room, on Saturday Emma and I created a relief map of Algeria and a diorama of a desert school, (while Rob celebrated Record Store Day), and today we painted Emma's room "Acorn Squash", which is a pretty dandelion color.
Tomorrow Emma has a field trip to a local forest preserve/learning center. I have to remember to pack her a waste-free lunch (they weigh all the waste).
I also found out my dad has been sick --he had the pacemaker put in a few weeks ago, and that's doing fine, but he developed a severe bladder infection and now has such bad back pain that he's having trouble doing anything but staying in bed. My sister and brother, who both live in the same town as my parents, are being great about helping out. Talking to my mom today, I could tell how worried she is. Getting old sucks.
Sorry about your dad. That's rough.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, my son's field trips insist we pack disposable so they don't have to collect anything--makes me NUTS!!! Dandelion--my oldest has a bright yellow room and it pleases me to no end to go in it.
We have had field trips where they requested disposable lunches too, and it is crazy. Especially since on this trip they're learning about waste --why not reinforce that lesson on other field trips? It really undermines the lesson if you don't!
ReplyDeleteEmma is so incredibly excited about her room --she keeps going in there and just grinning :-) It's always sunny in her room now. Even with the 2 inches of snow we woke up to this morning!
