A bit of a reno- and conferences

Grampa and his helper

We did a little bit of moving computers around. The computer that was on the dining room table is being moved to the right hand side of this desk. The linux machine is moving to the left side. We are going to be sending our Connections Academy equipment back to them as we never use it anymore. Garrett enjoyed climbing all over it while Harlan was trying to accomplish running all the wires to set up the printer and wireless router and everything else.

I'm sure Grampa appreciates any help he can get :P

Joylynn and her "babies"

Joylynn was trying to get Garrett to come and sit with her. She tried to make him jealous by having Courtney be her baby. It worked. He's such a goofy guy.

 Courtney is kind of goofy too, sharing her hair with poor Garrett who doesn't have much.

Speaking of hair...

 Genevieve decided she'd cut her own bangs. I'd been promising to take her back to Great Clips for another haircut. She kind of made sure we did it sooner than later.

 It's not too disimilar to her new school do. It's a perfect cut for her to manage on her own.
Kids' parent teacher conferences

 Jess, Joylynn and I attended three parent teacher conferences in a row on Tuesday afternoon. First for Danika, then Wyatt (he was required to attend) and lastly for Genevieve. They are are doing really well, though the girls are needing to be encouraged to ease up on the drama and socializing in class. I'll let you decide which girl needs to work on which ;)

Wyatt's biggest hurtle is penmanship. He doesn't find it easy to write. His composing is terrific, it's the physical task of writing that is laborious.  If he could dictate all his written work he would blow everyone away with his descriptions. He settles for easy short sentences rather than work so hard to get his amazing thoughts on paper.
I'm very glad that we can all (Jess, Joylynn, Harlan, and I) work to support them with their schoolwork.

Over run with projects

The stack of fabrics represents the eight quilts I'm working on. I'm totally finished with six of them and have only the bindings to put on the other two.

I think I'm going to make it to Joann Fabrics early sale on "Black Friday"!

I've got more projects in the works.
