What a week. Jordan fell down the basement stairs. After a slide down wooden stairs, his back is bruised. Immediate icepacks did keep him from swelling too much. He went to school the next day, without issue. Though I told him he didn't have to. He just wouldn't miss a day of school. The boy would have to be dying before he would miss a day. Anyways... the following evening, he bites pavement on his bike. He scraped his handlebar right under his arm, down his chest. Again, only complains because the healing is itching. I told him "can you just break something next time, and act a little more hurt" LOL

Meghan got her library card today! We have gone a few other times, and the computer is always down. She was so excited to find a book about kittens too. :)

Jarod and I have been working hard on his "Oregon Map" for his 4th grade project. He was so worried that we were using too much glitter. LOL So we stopped glittering and got out the scrapbook supplies. We used Crayola Model Magic for the Ocean, then pushed my ocean wave ruler into that. We then allowed it to dry a little and rubbed stamp pad ink in three colors. The cricut and wishblade have made this so easy to label everything. I helped Jordan make his, 3 years ago, when I only had my sizzix. Wow how the stash of supplies has changed and enabled.

I also got the rest of my front yard cleaned up today. I got flowers in the ground and a few pots filled too. Our front yard of left over mulched trees is finally almost flat. It won't be too long before I can grow grass out there!! I got peas planted and Meghan helped me get seeds started indoors. We shall see how many plants I will be buying to replace seeds with. I also learned recently that the pretty purple flowers I planted last spring are actually a mini ground cover. They are alot like a pansy, but the following year they return in odd places. Even made their way into a pot of strawberry plants. Go figure! I am glad that I think they are really pretty, since Diane told me they may take over! Ack!! Oh well... I have more pots to fill in the back yard, I will just replant the stray buggers. :)
