Fistful of Glitter

Last night Colten came out of his bedroom to remind me to he needed to wear his DARE shirt to school because "tomorrow is Wednesday"...
umm....Wait one second...
Wednesday?!?
I for some reason spent the better part of the day yesterday thinking it was Monday...
Well, clearly the whole day, because it was bedtime when I realized it was in fact Tuesday.
And somehow I lost a day...
Which is a problem, because I already feel like I have a ton to do this week.
Isn't it funny...
Last week felt like two weeks in one, and this week is flying...

The littles have huge projects due on Monday.
We've been working on them since last week,
I was hoping they'd be done by now because Jack's birthday is Saturday,
and he has a baseball tournament,
and Colten has soccer games...

Summarizing a book.
Is this hard for all 8 year olds? Or just mine...?!?
"Mom says I'm almost done, but I'm only on page 37"
Yes, because he wants to retell the whole story...
page, by page...
So that's been fun...

Colten is working on a Civil War project...
the subject is right up his alley,
the work...
not so much.

Between the two of them,
I may lose my mind...
Also...
three out of five of us have head colds...
I am one of the three.
Which is lovely timing...

I have things I want to post about,
but no time to post anything requiring thought...
Tara is trying to keep me creative...
love her for it...
so we're doing a photo-a-day this month.
Which I'm doing,
but lacking time to post said daily photos.
Although,
as you can see,
my photos from Monday were not what one might refer to as creative...
I had planned on taking some photos outside of the boys at practice...
didn't realize it was FREEZING outside...
so Jack and I were waiting in the truck for Colin to pick him up for baseball,
Colten was outside at soccer practice.
I was just pointing my camera at him without looking and taking photos.
We were horribly amused by this...

Now I'm off to make Jack a cupcake liner disco ball for his birthday decor in brown...
I decided if I make one for each birthday,
eventually I'll have a whole ceiling full and it will look cool.
Of course they'll be like eighteen then,
and will frown at cupcake liner balls hanging from the ceiling...
probably not so cool then.

happy WEDNESDAY.
hope you're all wearing your DARE shirts...

the end.
