Tile Mural 2012

The last 3 days I have been teaching art at the school for Pre-K through 12th grade and staff making the self portrait tile mural that we did last year. We did over 300 tiles in 3 days. It was exhausting but rewarding and fun. I love that I get to interact and be a part of the lives of the kids of our community. Nothing is better than seeing them around town and them saying hi Miss Stacy! Every night this week I've had a meeting or something to do too. Monday was city council, Tuesday was watching KU Journalism students give presentations on their semester project of doing a marketing plan for Greensburg and tonight was the community Christmas concert at the Methodist Church. I playing piano with mom and with Sydney who played violin.

Ho Ho Ho

Thus weekend was all of the Christmas activities in town, so we took the kids to see santa today. They didn't want to see him on sit with him, so I had to be in the picture with them. They still don't understand what Christmas is or who Santa is. Amelia will tell you its Jesus' birthday, so she know the important part.

Mama's Guilty Pleasures

When going to the store for milk, why not pick up a few extras for myself?

Weekend Fun

 This has been a great Thanksgiving break off from work. Saturday I spent the most of the day home with the kids. Living room tents, playing with Marley, reading books.

 Last night Travis brought up the Christmas stuff from the basement and we started putting up the tree. Truman's pant were dirty after supper, so I just took them off. He didn't want to wear his shirt and kept saying "hat" so I put it on his head. Then he said "eyes, eyes" and got the sunglasses. He was running around like a crazy and riding the Christmas tree box saying Yeehaw!

We got an early Christmas present from Gigi that we opened. It's a bear that sings the Night Before Christmas. The kids love it, thanks Gigi!

 This afternoon we ran to Dodge after church for some more lights, then worked on putting them on the house when we got home. And by we, I mean Travis got on the roof. I did the tree out front and the small trees on the porch. We still have more to put up on the porch columns and railings and I want to get more lights to outline the sidewalk and driveway.

Rough

Life is rough sometimes.

Dinner at ray and pat's

One night last week we went out to ray and pats for dinner. Tru and Amelia helped in the kitchen and then shared pistachios with grandpa after dinner.
