It's been a very busy week and, honestly, there hasn't been much blog fodder this week. Basketball season is over and DH is satisfied with the result. Soccer season started last week (B loves it!) and A's softball season begins later this month. So we're still on the go...nonstop running hither and yon which I love and DH really does not love.
B's school had an art show fundraiser recently and we were able to buy one of her lovely creations, beautifully matted and framed. It's kind of a collage-y type piece in fall colors (the title is Fall Leaves, I believe) with some metallic gold in it. Quite textural and really very pretty. I'm not just saying that because I'm her mother, really. The only problem now is where to actually hang the artwork!
A's school drama production is rapidly approaching and I will be helping with hair and makeup again this year. Fortunately this year's production has mostly human characters in it (unlike last year's cast which was full of animals) so makeup should be simple and straightforward. The person doing costumes for the play made a sleeveless dress (sundress?) for A's character and A asked her this week, on her own initiative, if it would be possible to either put sleeves in the dress or for us to buy a white shrug or cardigan she can wear over it because, as she told her teacher, she is not comfortable in clothing like that. I'm really proud of her for speaking up for herself and sticking to her values.
Tomorrow I'm going on the youth temple trip. A can't go because of a prior commitment. I was actually hoping to spend the day doing things that have fallen through the cracks because we've been so busy lately, but duty calls. Not that I don't enjoy going to the temple...I just really, really need to get things done at home, run some errands, etc.
