Special Delivery from Pops and Person

I apologize for not posting a blog in the past several days. It has been a little slow around here since we returned from Atlanta and there's not really a lot to write about. Trent will be singing a short solo and has a short speaking part in our church's Summer Children's Musical tomorrow morning. We have been rehearsing each Wednesday night since school ended...hopefully, it will go off without a hitch.


This afternoon a package "magically" arrived at our house addressed to Trent and Ella. After figuring out who was going to open the 1 box (they compromised-Trent opened the box and Ella took out the contents) the kids were surprised to find special items from Pops and Person. Trent was sooooooooooo happy to finally get a Harry Potter robe...Pops' Indianapolis Colts black fleece vest worked okay when playing Harry Potter but it just isn't the same as a 'real' Gryffindor robe. And he also found a magic wand inside the package...once again, the plastic watercolor paintbrush worked okay but it just isn't the same as a 'real' magic wand.

Ella was elated to find a PINK mug, complete with her name on the side. The first words out of her mouth..."I want to drink with it for lunch!" So off I go to wash it since lunch was almost ready.

COUNTDOWN TO SCHOOL YEAR 2007-2008... 1 day
I will be returning for workweek on Monday morning and Trent will be joining me on September 4th. It's hard to believe that the summer is over. However, the kids in the surrounding counties (and therefore, in our neighborhood) have been in school for a week now so it's nothing to cry over. Trent has actually been telling me for 2 weeks that he's ready to go back. I think he really just wants to know who his teacher is and then he will say he's ready for more summer. We will see.
