Um, could we please stop bashing public schools? Yah, I know SOME schools are not performing, etc. But not all. The "we're better than them" attitude does not win friends.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why must ds2 do this?!?!?!?!?!?! He's been doing so well. Well, he didn't do geography this week. It's boring. Well, dude, you ARE in high school this year. There are some requirements... Then, the knucklehead was out on his bike without a helmet. Well, yah?! What 'cha gonna do about it? Um that paintball party you wanted???

Why can't you audition, Jenn? Sorry if I really should know already. Things are kind of crazy around here.

shadow--not arguing that the shooting was a terrible thing. However, it's happened before where we (me included) have gotten to really bashing PS--how they are not performing, etc. It is not ALL schools that are under-performing/have violence and or bullying issues/etc. We are all responsible for educating our own kids. If God is leading some to PS their kids, then so be it.

Glad Co-op went well Sou-
Sorry to hear about the shooting-
I am finally getting a good idea for my first photo project for my college class. It is a color and composition thing and "Creative Presentation" is a big chunk of the project.
I am going to *ahem* sew photos to some brown fabric... The photos have to be "labeled". My Labels are going to be Dogtags. can you guess what the theme of the project is going to be? 
Hint: He is 6' tall, bald, and leaving for Iraq on Wednesday.
I have the ideas for all but 5 or 6 photos down on paper and about 6-7 already in the can. I have a few that will actually have Jerry in them in some manner two that are gonna be hard to shoot without getting misty.
I have a partial map HERE... What I have left is Informal balance, use of lines and shapes, Use of cool colors, appealing use of colors, use of related colors, and use of psychological reference color.
These need to be closer to the mid/end of the progression from him going and coming back. I also have some charms to attach to several of the images as well- like faith, hope, love, trust, some crystal teardrops and the like. I plan to attach all this to the thing with/through metal eyelets(dritz makes a eyelet setter that is not too pricey and I have already tried the scrapbooking eyelets.) I have some earth tone colored hemp to do the attaching. I am thinking about doing a PVC stand for it too.

Hubby just got into town. We went outside to discuss our weekend projects.
When I came in, I realized how late it is, and I said to kids, "hey, guys, it is almost midnight, we need to wrap it up pretty quickly" (they are playing star wars game on game cube).
Daughter turns to me and says, "Whoa, why are your guys up so late?"
It was hilarious. Totally deadpan face. What a nut! 
But seriously kids, time for bed!

Any projection as to how long he will be using it? I had not heard anything and was just wondering.
Praying for a smooth transition to home!

Donna, those were great pics of Esther and your other children. They sure grow up fast!!!!
I looked at Brian's accident pictures, too..... wow!!!! How is he doing? How long will he be in the wheel chair? I never kept up with everything, do they think he will fully recover? God REALLY had His hand of protection on him!

Have you noticed that kids clothes get bigger as they grow and then the clothes take up more room! MM's clothes no longer fit in her drawers. She has a captain's bed with drawers under it. The drawers are not very deep. I have a bunch of laundry and no place to put it. I'm having the same problem with Mr. Manly's clothes. I've been looking for a solution and prayer about it, as I don't have much money to work with on this. Yesterday I found a terrific closet organizer at Costco for $30. This will completely solve MM's clothes problem, but I think I'll have to wait until next payday to get one for Mr. Manly.
I have been frustrated with the laundry being out of control and no place to put it. Dh is working on putting it together right now, so I should have the laundry out of my room by the end of the day. Thank goodness.

Yes! And in winter, they take up more room than in summer.
Actually, we are going to have to do the go-through-the-clothes thing shortly and that is not Nate's favorite activity, lol.

Yes, I have noticed this. Also, summer clothes don't take up as much room as winter clothes. My girls' clothes just barely fit in their drawers in the summer...especially if they aren't all clean. In the winter they don't come close to fitting. I picked up two more dressers at a yard sale this summer so their winter clothes will all fit.

I am butting heads with Nate this morning. 
I sent him to brush his teeth and he said, 'why, am I going to the dentist?'
I sent him to turn off the A/C and he followed the cat downstairs and never came back up, completely bypassing the A/C.
I wanted him to finish watching his Mammals DVD so we could send it and he said, 'I don't want to watch TV!'....of course, if I had not wanted him to watch something I am sure he'd have wanted to. 
All he can think about his going shooting, and I am already tired of hearing about his new BB gun.
He also doesn't want to go to the music fest.
So, I think it's going to be buckle-down day for chores and schoolwork. Part of his problem, I am sure, is that he's been working so many hours (30 this week) that he has this thought that it's a 3-day weekend and he should be goofing off, and I am looking at it as 'finally he is home and we can get some things taken care of'.

I don't think we know how long Brian will be in a wheelchair. Because of his elbow fracture, he can't use crutches. So it may be until his leg is strong enough to walk on, and even then, we may need the chair for any length of travel, KWIM? I really have no idea, so I'm trying not to speculate.

He did allow as to how stick shifts are much more fun to drive so really didn't blame me. 
And thanks for sharing the rest of your photos. It is sobering to see Brian in a wheelchair. May God continue to strengthen and heal him.
