Tuesday night I worked on figuring out part of a project for two of my seventh graders. I tried to do it with them on their computers, but they just don’t compare to my Mac. I printed up a few maps for them to use as a reference.

Got a text early in the morning that Everly wasn’t feeling well. She’s had a lot of stomach pains lately. Went over there soon afterwards.

Took the 46 pound of dry dog food to my storage can. Had to pump up the tires on the gorilla cart first.

Went over to Briggs Vision Group to pick up Everly from Ashley’s office. It was a super nice place.

Penelope is doing great at school.

Biggest news of the day was that Miles passed his big Arborist test! Super proud of him. That was a really hard exam.
Everly was so glad that I came and picked her up and took care of her today. She wrote me a nice love note. It was full of how much she loved me and appreciated me.

We went by the Dollar Tree to pick up some supplies that the kids needed for projects, then over to the Buford Highway Farmers Market to get some food. We brought a bunch back for Penelope. She was so happy about it.

We saw two big buses at the BHFM. Everly said, “They look like the teams.” She was right. I talked with the leaders about why they were there. They were from the Magnet school in N. Atlanta on a culture trip. I talked to them at length about where they should go. The teacher was super interested. Never know what will happen!
Penelope wanted some Takis as a treat after her food. These things are SO hot.

One thing I really like about helping the kids is continuing to learn. This map project on the French-Indian War and how it affected the shape of Georgia I found very interesting. I had no idea that the original shape of Georgia as a colony stretched all the way to the Pacific Ocean! I thought the kids did well on the maps.

Ashley and the girls enjoy doing puzzles together. They almost finished the 300 piece candy bar puzzle!

Got a letter in the mail saying that the mortgage payment still wasn’t set up correctly. This is crazy. I’m going back in tomorrow morning. Super frustrating.
