Crafts and a Sick Baby

So today was craft day with John Michael's class. We made some really cute little tote bags for Easter. They are going to use them Wednesday for their Easter Egg Hunt. It is always so much fun when I am able to spend a little time with my boys in their classes. It is nice to see what they do and be a small part of it. I hope that they will carry these memories with them forever. I see parents who drop their kids off and they never seem to be much more involved than that and it breaks my heart for the child. We will never get these days back so I plan to be a part for as long as I can.

Danny ended up coming home early, they called while I was in class with John Michael and it never rang. I think being basically in a church basement has something to do with that. Fortunately they called Brandon and he went and got him. He is okay, not contagious anyway. His allergies are acting up and all of the drainage is triggering his asthma. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and he will be able to stay at school. I will write a note letting his teacher know that he needs to take it easy at Recess and PE.

Well, tomorrow is the First Communion suit and shoes extravaganza. We shall see how it all goes. Fingers crossed and prayers have been said!

Well, I am off to bed tonight. It is still not before 9, but I am making some headway on editing and on the teacher's gifts so it is all good. Oh yeah, I got the extra 2 weeks off from class! YAY! I will say a prayer for all of my family an friends. I hope that all of your spoken and unspoken requests are soon prayers of thanksgiving!

Dromaeosaurus

Danny's dinosaur project was due today, and he chose the dromaeosaurus for his dinosaur. The thing about this guy is they are still learning about him and so resources were very limited. It is all good though, he had a blast doing it. And before anyone can ask I am not one of those mom's who does his projects for him so that they are amazing. I ask him to do his best and in my opinion they are always amazing. We used one of the three way boards and he printed a few pictures and then wrote several facts about this guy. For instance he was about 2 feet tall to his hips, 6 feet long from his head to the end of his tail, and only weighed about 30 pounds. The fossils that have been found have been found in Canada and Montana, USA. Then he made a dinosaur track cookies, using what he guessed the footprint would have looked like. He made a giant chocolate chip cookie for the ground and then chocolate sugar cookies for the prints. He did great and I was so proud of him.

John Michael stayed home today. He was so tired and ill, and I was determined he was going. Then he started in on his tummy hurting. I know he was full of it, but told him if he stayed home it meant doing NOTHING today. He was not happy that I seriously meant no Wii, but he survived and is excited about going to school tomorrow, especially since his Nana is picking him up.

Today is Brandon's last day in his 20's. He is not exactly thrilled about turning 30, but knows there is nothing he can do. He cracks me up. I love him more and more everyday and I am not thinking a number will mean anything more than more love! I have cherished our 20's since we spent them together and I cannot wait to spend our 30's together. Well, more on that tomorrow!

Well, it is after 10 and the boys are finally asleep so I am about to follow behind. I am exhausted! Before I go to bed I will say a prayer for all of my family and friends. Please say a special prayer for my amazing man who might need an extra pat on the back tomorrow.
