Just one more day and my curiousity will be satisfied. About pirates anyway. My grandbaby is busy bouncing behind me in his bouncer so all I hear is "BOING, Boing, boing, BOING, BOING, BOOOOOIIINNNG, BOING, boing!" At least until he's bored. Then it's "Boing, WAAA, Boing, WAAAA!!" But he's such a good baby. Very sweet. I could just eat him up! But I won't today.
I may just spend today doing not much of anything. The library would be good. Guess I'll have to take everybody. They'd be upset if I didn't. I'm so thankful that all of my kids love to read. The material they choose may sometimes be questionable, but they are reading. My grandbaby, "Ton Ton," is only five months old and already has a substantial library started for him. I'd love to work on enlarging my collection too. The arts section anyway.
I'll be glad when the kids go back to school. Not because I don't want them around, but only because they're getting bored. The novelty of the new school year will last about a week and then they'll start counting the days until the first school holiday. Personally, I can't wait to meet the art teacher. I plan on volunteering in her class alot this year. Don't care what grade or whose class. I just want to get in there and share the fun with all those kids.
Maybe I can talk the principal and art teacher into planning a student mural this year. I think they'd love it. Every grade could participate. It could be in a hall or in the cafeteria so the weather won't be a problem. And since it's only paint, it could be painted over if they choose. And they could organize a new one each year. Maybe each grade could submit design and theme proposals and each grade could have their own section. Or they could all be integrated into one big design. Maybe they could learn about mosaics and they could do paper or stamped mosaics in class then work together on one big stamped mosaic mural. It could even be done on a huge sheet of paper and just hung in the hallway. That way they could use water based paint. I'm not sure what their curriculum is this coming year, but it's a thought. Am I thinking too far ahead? I don't think so.
