relax

Last day of fall break, and back to school tomorrow. It was nicely calm and fairly relaxing, even with the normal Sunday chores. Ron and I got to play a few hours of WoW together (couples' bonding in our family). Raine got to go with Ezekiel to our local corn maze. They had been about 3 weeks without each other, and had missed each other sorely.

After computer games, and a teensie bit of shopping, I got to work on Raine's Halloween costume some more. Did I mention she wants to be a bionicle? Well, I got the top done during the week, and took some time to get started on the pants today. I'm probably about halfway done on them. My idea of opening the seams so I can do the applique on the sweats is working like a charm. I'm pretty happy about that. Still the applique will be kind of the background for the foam bits that we need to really get started on. THOSE are what will make or break the costume for Raine, I think. Although, realistically, she'll probably be pretty happy wearing the sweats as a costume for a while... except that they will be kinda hot a lot of the time... Oh well, NM.

I also got some stuff printed to go on our new word wall in my classroom. I'm trying to get my students to really be able to talk about stories and analyze them. Language barriers don't make that easy. Neither do the apathy barriers. sigh

school, tomorrow, huh...
