September 28

Over the summer, I cleaned off the surface of my dresser. It was a project, but I did a good, permanent job. Well, then we came back from our long trip to California, and Myrtle Beach, and as our bags were unpacked, well…this is what happened. Chris said the other day that my dresser is like a curio shop. You can find anything you need to there…a movie, lotion, makeup, an iphone cord, some silly bands, kleenex, coins, an autopia card, disneyland tickets, crayons, you name it. sigh.

This morning, Aaron did NOT want to get ready for school. Even after he was all dressed and had his hair fixed, he snuggled back into bed and covered his ears when I was talking to him about getting out of bed.

OH MY WOW!!! What an exciting evening! Tonight was a ScrapMatters meet at Denise’s house in Manassas. A lot of ladies were here from out of town, and it was just SO AWESOME to meet so many scrappers and designers!

Here are my dear dear scrappy friends, Jan on the left and Shari in the middle. Jan and I got together a few months ago, because she lives here, but Shari lives in Washington state and I never thought we would be able to meet in person!!

Aaron decided he didn’t need a nap today, so I told him he needed to stay in his bed and have quiet time. I went in to spy on him, and this was the scene.

This is Aaron’s lesson plan for last week. This is what we get each week from his school and I love how we can ask him specific questions about what he does each day and have good conversations, rather than a typical “teenage” kind of conversation…"what did you do today?” “Um, I don’t remember.”
