Football Jersey Day

It was football jersey day at the school, and plenty of the kids - including Madison - dressed up in their favorite team's gear.  Madison had a shirt from that trip to the sporting goods store just before the Super Bowl, so we had something fun for her to wear today.

She had a great day!  Mrs. Hubbard, her art teacher, got Teacher of the Year, so she had a great day too.  Mrs. Hubbard was talking this morning to Daddy about how great Madison is, and how much fun she is to be with.  Madison did all her after school classes with Mrs. Hubbard last year, and will probably doing a few more this year.

Why was Daddy in the classroom?  The answer has to do with the yearbook - Daddy's back on the yearbooks staff again.  He was on Yearbook Staff in high school, and here we are again full circle.  Daddy was up and down the fourth and fifth grade hallway, snapping pictures of all the kids in their football jerseys.  Then, it was time to upload them to the yearbook site, which looks like a program from 1995.  It's so dated, but that's part of the charm of the thing - it looks like we've traveled back in time, and we're all back on the yearbook staff again.

Speaking of which, some time ago while on yearbook staff, we flew out to Dallas, Texas to tour the building that made yearbooks.  The flight back was a nightmare, one that Daddy still hasn't gotten over yet.  But the trip itself was great, with Belgium waffles on top of skyscrapers, the Hard Rock Cafe, and lots of rainwater flooding the streets.  Hurricane Harvey is coming to Texas - flooding is a real fear for residents there.  They're in our prayers tonight.

It was a busy day for Daddy, getting things ready for KidPak.  And Mommy was doing a lot today too - she got her passport, so she's ready for a future trip to some place far off in the Caribbean.  Madison did her piano practice, and studied somewhat for her upcoming Civil War test.  She was doing Minecraft when Daddy got home, something she's been back into for a time now. Minecraft is still huge.

We watched "Nancy Drew" tonight, having recently finished that one book in the series.  Remarkably, there were some plot parallels, so you could see how the movie took ideas from this particular book.  It was good though - Madison really liked it, as did all of us.

We went to bed a little later tonight, but that's okay:  we all get to sleep in tomorrow!
