What a Week!

I know, it's only Tuesday. But it feels like a weeks' worth of stuff happening around here!

Updates: Friday, Eli and I went to the Mother/Son Event. Never heard of it? It's the PC thing to sponsor after you have a Daddy/Daughter Dance. It was really fun. I cheered Eli on as he "jousted" with his opponent.

Saturday: Carmina Concert with Adam, Lizzie, Ward, and Lisa in attendance. So much fun.

Sunday: Carmina Concert in Prescott (2 hrs. away). Bus broke down on the way home. Waited 3 hours for a replacement bus. Not so much fun. Monday: Lizzie brought home the Class Poetry Book. We only got it for one night! Here are Lizzie's entries with translations.
"I am Lizzie Stewart and an animal lover. But I am not a zoo keeper.
I like hot fudge chocolate sundays, vacations and trips, movies and drawing, writing and poetry, and friends and family, planes and parties, and animals and animation.

But I do not like M.M {Mountain Math}, onions, and the Tower of Terror.

I am happy when we celebrate holidays, when I go on a trip or a fun ride, I build a fort, and when I play a fun game with my siblings.

But I am not happy when I hurt myself, when something scary happens, and when I play Truth or Dare.

I feel good about myself when I write a new poem or story, when I eat a new food for the first time, and when I learn something my parents don't know.

If I could be anything, I would be a scientist, an animal trainer, a traveler or a farmer's daughter.
But even though I could be anything, I would not be a pilot (because then I would crash and I would be dead. :( )"

"My Trip to New York"

I'm going to New York
With a spoon and a fork
And my bird that's a stork,
Who's really a dork.

"Singing in the Rain"

I'm singing in the rain
With my chin up and proud
My mouth fills up with water,
So when I sing, I gurgle and it's really loud.

"A good/Bad Sport"

Volleyball I'm good at.
Well, sort of.
When I hit the ball, it says, "Whack!"
But sometimes it goes this direction or that!
Tuesday: Today I got to teach Princess School. I commadeered 90% of Eli's toys today because the topic was "Cars and Trucks and Things that Go." And look what I found for the girls at the dollar store?! Pink Hot Wheels! what luck. :)

So how's your week goin'?
