Fabulous Photography Opportunity

Last nigt was our last Photography Class. It was very bittersweet, I learned so much I hated for it to be over, but we ended with a BANG!

Last week Jenn, Wendy, and I were standing around and these gals passed us and said "Hey we're fire people you can take some really cool pictures of us". So when it came time to set up a location for the last class we told Steve our teacher about the "fire people". He raced down Riverwalk and caught up with them for the details. They practice on Thursday nights and they were "lighting up" this week.

We decided we would all meet at Boll Weevil for supper and then head to class. There were 6 of us that came to eat, and sadly none of us could tell you all 6 people's names, we had a great dinner (okay well I had a great dessert-DON'T order the Potato Soup at Boll Weevil-YUCK! )
and then we got to have this fantastic "session" is that what you call it :)

Here are a few of my pictures from last night. I know I must be getting be an old Mama because all I kept thinking was "Be careful, Don't hurt yourself, and WHAT DOES YOUR MOTHER THINK OF YOU DOING THIS????"

A GREAT You Tube Video

I just love it! I may have to listen to do it daily :)

First Day of School!

We had a great first day of school. I have to tell you though that Mommy felt alittle bit like that scence from the exorcist where her heads spins around. It was a little tricky schooling everyone at the same time. We figured out the middle blueberry needs to get up before the little one because he tends to get distracted looking at the fun coloring stuff his brother gets to do. We'll have to stager a bit more than what we did today.

We changed a few curriculums this year and I think they will be great choices for us! First we are going with Life of Fred for Algebra (don't laugh it's really a good program!), and for Grammar we switched to Daily Grams and Easy Grammar. Our favorite so far though is the Answers in Genesis Science it's GREAT!

So all in all I would count this as an excellent school day :)

A little update

Sunday was a big day for us. Our church gives rising third graders a bible, and the middle blueberry finally got one! It was made even more special because one of my scrapping ladies made the bible covers and embroidered them with the cross and flame (I can't imagine doing that-there were 60 third graders!), he is thrilled to have his very on bible!
And the youngest blueberry LOVES tee ball. It's indoors so all the Mommies love it too :)
We have the best coach the kids have learned so much.
