Good morning.
Deb - nice pictures. That place looks A LOT like Great Wolf Lodge. Ours has the same surf type place.
Nicholas has some sort of poison ivy type skin rash. He's been developing it since the weekend and last night I took him to the doctor. She didn't say "poison ivy" but a few of the very small blisters look like what I had last summer. It's weird though. I have NO IDEA where he would have gotten into it. It's on the knuckles of his right hand, a few spots on his arms and legs, and then little teeny red bumps over his extremities. At least it's not itching him too badly. Just more annoying than anything. Now he is on prednisone and zyrtec. I hope he doesn't have the same side effects from the pred. that I had.
Nicholas also got invited to join the robotics club at school. This club is for 4th graders and is part of the accelerated math program. Evidently they will be making and programming robots to do a variety of challenges. Several retired engineers from a local naval base will be assisting the kids. He's excited about it and it sounds like a great learning experience. The club meets once a week after school, so I'm going to need to find a friend that he can go home with until I can pick him up.
that the rash clears up quickly and that he has no reactions to the drugs. Congrats to him on the robotics club! Our high school has one, and they were starting one at the middle school. I think it would go over tremendously in the elementary schools. to C on the audition! Our high school almost always double casts the leads in the musicals. The drama club double casts when they have enough people try out. They don't "compete" for the performances, though, they do every other performance.In checking our flight times on AirTran this morning I discovered a couple of things. There was a fare reduction for my early December flights so I called and got the $30 credit applied to my account. So, that means I only paid a grand total of $79.20 for my RT ticket for that weekend!
I also found that my return flight had been changed without my knowledge or any contact from them. I was booked on a non-stop flight and still am. But (and this is a huge change), that flight has been canceled and now I am booked on a non-stop that is "subject to FFA approval." I asked the agent what that means in the long run and she assured me that most flights are ultimately approved. If mine isn't they will happily switch me to another flight. There is one huge problem with that, however. It is the only early morning non-stop flight they have into Reagan National and I have to have that time. I am teaching that afternoon at 3:00. I can't get into town any later than noon and have it all work out!Come on on FFA!!!
Yay for the fare reduction! I hope it all works out on the timing.
Good Morning, DDA!!
Progress reports came home yesterday and I gotta say I was right in my assesment of Abi's LA teacher....not only is she weird, she's mean and hard to talk to. Abi has a D+ right now in that classand it sounds like most of it's from the teacher's inability to listen.
Abi is trying out for jazz band today on piano...she's got the tryout pieces mastered. What a boost in her confidence it would be to with the jazz band.
for Abi getting into jazz band! 
for the teacher troubles.Preschool was an absolute dream today! I can't believe how smoothly everything went. Now I remember why I teach preschool despite salary cuts, incompetent board members, and all the unpaid prep time. The only problem is that the three who had the hardest time on Tuesday didn't come today. Two of them called to say that they would be out, and the secretary didn't get the feeling from them that they were leaving the school. The other didn't call in. I hope that we don't lose them this early. One won't be three until November, so he is young, but I think he will be find given a few days. We do have a waiting list, so we can replace those three, but I really would like to have them give it a chance. Well, maybe the one mother could go.
But I liked her daughter. I am definitely looking forward to next Tuesday! I also am going to teach tomorrow in the 4's class, because one of the teachers has a mother who is having serious health issues.
Hopefully we'll all be home by 8:30 PM
DH said he tried to get DS to explain, but DS got all frustrated. Which means DS doesn't understand, either. It's a good thing we live close to the school. I see lots of back and forth in DH's future. Waiting until 6 PM is going to drive me up a tree. 
He has no clue when they will post the cast list. He has no clue if he needs to continue staying after school. NO CLUE. Argh!
