Relax

Well, it is Sunday night and it is finally quiet.  Such a long weekend.  Today was the Farmer's Market, laundry, house work, chasing the dog when she got loose.  lol  And why is it, that just a few short hours ago my house was spotless, but no more?

I did find a little time to play with my paper.

This is from another wonderful sketch and color palette from The Color Room.

And I made a few cards...but they are in the mail, so those of you receiving.....

The boys had a great day river rafting on Cache Creek and I hope to have some photos to share and scrap soon.

Saturday was also a blur with ballet, piano recital, errands, and, the best....We got Brighton's history final back.  He got an A!  Woo Hoo!!!!  We are so excited that in his first year of kinda sorta "real" school he managed to take 39 credits and pull a 3.88 GPA!

Things are really gearing up around here with the Ballet School performance (rehearsals and costume fittings every day this week) and our time trials for cabana this weekend.  Add to that the in-laws visiting, so later this week I may go on radio silence. hee hee

Not to worry tho.  I already have a few projects ready for the Ideas for Scrapbookers blog that I will be detailing here later this week.

Hope to see you soon.

Hugs.

Wrapping up - Brighton

Well, I have a few projects going, but nothing ready to share yet.  I have been having fun playing with my new UTEE pot.  The girls and I were dunking all kinds of flowers in.  Can't wait to make something with them now.

Until then... how about one I finished the other day for the challenge over at The Color Room.

And, a little about how the school year went.  Today we will start with Brighton.

Brighton - Loved all his Apex courses (Honors Freshman English, Honors World History, Spanish 1) once he got the teachers and their requirements down.  In the beginning it was a bit of a struggle especially since he hadn't been graded in the past, but he persevered and was able to pull the grades he needed.  We are sad that he won't be able to continue there next year as they were unable to get the classes Brighton needs approved as a-g by the state of California. Saxon Advanced Math was quite a bit of work.  He somehow managed to complete the entire 2 year curriculum in 1 year!  Yep, math kid...so not fair!  lol....and his tutor totally rocked.  Stephanie...if you are out there...big hug!  His computer classes were OK.  They would have been great but it is a battle when you are trying to get anything done outside of regular "school" hours.  And having his dad teach him, it has to be in the evenings.  He has written a few game programs now and has been enjoying it.  Blockout anyone? Hangman? lol  PE..well, he is still swimming USA Swim and has managed to get a few "A" times, needless to say we are thrilled!

Well, I should probably step away from my computer and try to get some more "work" done around here.


Hugs.
