Hannah picked out the tote bag and design she wanted the other night. I was surprised she picked the color she did since there was a pink one. Usually it's pink for Hannah and purple for Alison. Wonder if Alison will throw me a curve too? LOL Here's a picture of Hannah's tote bag:
This was super easy. I used a peel and stick type transfer. The front feels like cloth when it still has the backing but feels more like a transfer once you peel the backing off. The only thing I'm concerned about is just how well it will stay on the bag. I can peel back a corner and peel it off. I'm thinking about getting some fabric glue (I'm assuming there is such a thing!
) to make sure it stays on. Here's what I used:
Last night was Pirate Night at Hannah's school. It was an activity to get parents involved in reading with their children. The teachers were dressed as pirates and doing their best to talk like a pirate. The kids got a kick out of seeing their teachers dressed up and going on the treasure hunt. We started out in a classroom then went to the gym to find the next clue. From the gym we went to the library for the final clue. Afterwards it was to the cafeteria for a snack. The kids were a bit loud in the hallway on the way to the cafeteria and I told one of the teachers that I bet the best part for the kids was they were finally able to be loud in the hallway without getting in trouble.
When we were in the gym, they handed out a book called "The Trumpet of the Swan" by E.B. White. The kids had to read the first 2-3 pages and halfway through reading, the parent was to ask a question about what their child had just read. The books were taken up at the end but now I'm dying to read more! LOL From what I understand, they will be reading the book later in the year.
Sent Alison an e-mail with a list of things she'll need to bring with her this weekend for the trip. Clay talked to her yesterday to make sure she got the e-mail and that she printed the list out. She's got the list printed and told him that the only thing she doesn't have is the t-shirt I made for her as a bathing suit cover up because it's dirty. Her Mom said she'd get it washed before the trip and we could either come by and pick it up or she'd drop it off before the trip.
I told Clay that she could just bring it anyway and I could wash it. Since I'm the one that gets to pick Alison up tonight I'm the one that gets to present that option. We'll see what the response is to that.
It's going to be a bit crazy when I get off work. Clay gets off work early on Friday and he was going to pick Hannah up at school and get her to the church on time to go on the sleepover with her Scout troop. Well, as my luck always goes, he ended up flying out to Philadelphia yesterday morning to meet with a customer and when done there he had to drive to the outskirts of D.C. to meet with another customer. His return flight isn't until 7:00 tonight. ARRRGGGGGGHHHHH
Fortunately, I get off work at 4:00 on Friday but I still have to pick Hannah up at after school care and then get her to the church....by 5:00. The only way that's going to happen is if I leave about 10 minutes early. Sometimes when it's slow on Friday my boss will let me leave at 3:00 or 3:30. I'm hoping today is one of those days! I've got Hannah's stuff in the van so at least that's one less thing I have to worry about. I had an e-mail from one of the Troop Leaders last night saying they want everyone at the church at 4:45 so they can leave at 5:00. I sent her an e-mail back telling her there's no way I'd be there at 4:45 but I'd be there by 5:00. Haven't seen a response from her yet.
Since Clay won't be home until late it'll just be me and Alison for a while. That's not something that happens too often so I'm looking forward to hanging out with her. We're going to the
Disney Store to put money on her gift card, grab a bite to eat and then hit Kohl's to try to find her a few long-sleeve shirts.
I'm going out at lunch today to get the Toy Story 3 DVD and get a car charger for the girls DS's.
I'll be able to do online check in next week!!
It's getting close!!!!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour on Saturday night!
The only that won't work for me is the 26th since we'll be in Sea World all day.
Looks like you are organized.
oh boy I hope they do!
Hopefully there will be other trips and other opportunities to meet some day. 
. Clay said that Alison will still get to go on the trip but he was going to have a long talk with her about her Language Arts grade. He was traveling yesterday and was too tired to talk to her last night so hopefully he'll call her tonight. The only reason I can think her grade was so bad was because of projects and test scores. Both of those count for 30% of her grade.
