Stuff

We survived our first week of school and homework.  Emily has surprised me with how much complaining she has done about getting homework done.  I thought she would have fun with it in the beginning, but I've had to prod her to get it done.  So I'm working on setting certain days and times that we work on it so it can become routine.  She is loving school and last week we also tried out riding the bus home in the afternoons and it has worked out great.  So for now, Joe takes her in the morning and Abigail and I meet her at the bus stop each afternoon. 

We got her plate back that she worked on before school started.  She has already eaten dinner on it:

Emily came home yesterday with her first "drop" in their behavior chart that we have to sign each night.  She had a consequence for talking too much during instruction time.  So she lost 5 minutes of recess time.  She gets her love of talking honest though : )

I also did a lot of sewing last week.  I finished a doll clothes order and also made this outfit for Emily:

A friend of ours is about to have her 2nd baby so she asked me to make these shirts for her girls:

And I monogrammed a dress for someone as well:
