Last night around 7, our neighbors came over asking to borrow a paintbrush and some foil. I didn't think anything of it till the mom came over to return the foil and asked if Amber finished her project already cause they were still working on her son's. Well, I honestly had no clue what she was talking about so she explained that the 1st graders were suppossed to build models of our solar system and that it's due tomorrow (today now). Ha. Thanks for the inform, Amber. I found the paper burried under a stack of other papers on my desk and sure enough, there's a project due today. It had to include all 9 planets plus the sun. They had to be true to scale, color, and distance from the sun. Ummm...again...thanks for the inform, Amber! So luckily David is really smart and creative under pressure and came up with a pretty good idea. We measured and cut out circles on construction paper, Amber and I colored them front and back, Amber labeled them all, and then I hung them in a box that David made. Not bad for 2 1/2 hours of work - huh?
Our other pictures worthy news of the year is that Amber got a new dog for her birthday. Even though she doesn't turn 7 till next Thursday, we went ahead and found a dog for her at the Mesa pound. She's a 1yr old German Shepherd mix (I think with Sharpei and maybe some Terrier or something) and just the sweetest thing ever. David and Jade went to pick her up today while I was at work and Amber was at school. She's pretty skinny, but not food aggressive at all and I haven't heard her bark once. She already knows her name (Katie) and comes with her tail wagging everytime. Sweet little thing! Now as soon as I can get Lobo fixed, he can come inside and be with us, too. I'm mailing in a form to get a voucher for free neutering through the county, so we'll see. Maybe next month?
