Cool morning walks with the pup, mist on the river.

We have been talking a lot about programming and how turtles are involved (read on up on Logo if you’re interested), so when I saw Eve rolling out the tape with her backpack on, I couldn’t help thinking of programming turtles.

Someone forgot to put Arlo away in his crate for the day. Carnage throughout the house. :(

Lex had open house at the middle school last week (week before? who can remember?!) He is on Team Nova and I saw this cool banner hanging in the hall. I asked if they talked about being Noble, Original, Vigilant, and Adventuresome. He said nope, he never even knew that’s what NOVA was for. Oh well.

My little guy isn’t so little any more! He has a top locker and a bottom locker and his percussion lesson schedule stuck to the door. He’s growing up fast!

Their first assignment in his STEM class was about making their name. I don’t know what the specific requirements were, but it came out pretty neat and STEMy. :)

Back at the elementary school a first grader decided to “fix” my NEW sign for me. :) The letters fell down and he was being helpful.

We have a bulletin board in the lobby with the green instructions written on it and lots of room for people to write their messages. Lex had a little fun with it. :)

This week King Arthur Flour’s Bake For Good program came to school and did a bread baking demonstration. I had a free period at that time and came down to watch. It was very cool! And I know the lady who did the demo! :) They sent all of the 4th and 5th graders home with a canvas tote full of KAF supplies and ingredients for baking bread. The kids have to bake a loaf to keep and a loaf to share (bring back to school to be donated to the food pantry). I LOVE the idea. Guess what we will be doing Sunday afternoon?! :)

My momma brought me lots of plants for my new library. They don’t grow well in my house, but I’m hoping for more success in the bright, sunny library! :) Maybe I can recruit a few plant waterers too. I LOVE my new space. Life is good.
