Last two weeks of summer...

School starts on August 17th, which is also the day I go back to work. This summer has gone by so fast. Jessica and Andrew are now both home from camp. Yeah! Jessica has an ASB meeting today and Link Crew training for two days after that. Then on Monday is the actual 1st Link meeting with the freshmen (Andrew is hoping Jessica is his Link Leader, I don't know why).

Soccer practice started last night. I was so excited because Jessica was taking herself. Since she had just gotten home from camp (20 min previously), she was just going too talk to the coach. She calls us from the parking lot...they had closed and locked the gates and she was stuck in the lot. Another parent with four wheel drive just drove over the curb, but Jessica is driving the little car and can't do that. So, dad is off to the rescue. He gets the car out of the lot and they both head home! So much for her "first" driving trip to the school.

Joe and I picked Andrew up from camp on Sunday, then drove approx. 1 hour into the city to the de Young museum. The King Tut exhibit is making its rounds and is currently on the west coast through March. It was a great exhibit. No photography of any kind allowed so I don't have any pictures, but I did take some of this wonderful Dale Chihuly glass.




This next piece was very interesting. It was not titled, but should have one of "Irony". It was a church made out of gun sights, ammo, pistols, and one tooth. You can see the one tooth if you look closely. I think it was the most popular piece in the permanent exhibit, even more so than the O'Keefe or the Cassette.


If you plan on going to the de Young, buy your tickets online ahead of time.

I'm off to the treadmill and then some homework. Andrew needs his haircut today, plus I need legal pads from Staples (love that store!). Easy day.

Don't forget...scroll down to see the National Geographic picture of the day. Also, I added music to the blog at the bottom (don't know how to add it to the side) and if you scroll down it starts playing, plus you can choose the song you want to listen to.
