We celebrated Mr. T's 2nd birthday this past weekend. He ate two cupcakes decorated like green frogs. He got some cool toys. His favorite present was a Thomas the Train tent. He would get in it and pop his head out like a game of peek-a-boo. But when his sisters got in the train, he would yell, "OUT!" Too much fun and excitement for one day!
Monday Toby took the day off from work, but we worked around the house. We picked up a neighbor boy to help us do some stucco work. We worked hard until about 3PM, and then we drove to WF to look at houses with Jes. We need to find her a place of her own. Looking at houses is time consuming and can be depressing. Some houses are so nasty, some are dark, some are boring, etc. Then the prices were all over the board. We will keep looking.
Tuesday I had a co-op group of homeschoolers, that included the GGs and
Mr. T, here at the house for an art lesson. A co-op is a group of moms
who get together once a week or so and have special lessons as group.
This week I was to teach watercolor Christmas cards. I had about ten
kids total, but the moms worked with the younger kids and left me with
older seven kids. They were attentive and fun and we made two cards
each. Today I have another group. This group will have fewer small kids. Now
that I have done the lesson once, it should go even better the second
time around. Right? Here is Mr T painting before the class got going. Here is the group of attentive youngsters.

Oh boy, I don't envy finding a home. I finally settled for a model home after the neighborhood was finished. I saved a bunch, but people often comment I have no taste, and this house is clear evidence... I saw the texture on your wall. Very nice, you would roll on the floor laughing if you saw what I did out at the shop, or maybe just hold your nose...
When we first moved to OK, we bought a very nice Solitare manufactured home. It came with curtains and matching carpet. I remember thinking, "Whose house is this?" It was so conventional. I think that is part of Jesse's problem with finding a house - she is not use to the norm.
If she's going to begin work on a masters degree, maybe something close to the university? Just make sure it's away from the frat houses :-) I've only been there twice now (every 3 months) to visit my specialist doctor, but maybe that area is high rent, what do I know - ha...
Your students do look attentive. I bet they love you as a teacher.
Be patient and you will find something very cool for Jesse. I love house hunting and would love to help. Ha.
