Gah

Ugh, I'm working on a bear of a task for my last class of the term, Testing. It has to do with formal vs. informal assessments and it is not making me happy. I'm kind of on a time constraint, too - I really need to have this class done by Thursday, but that's not going to happen. My term ends the end of November, but I technically have until Dec. 15 to finish up my classes. Anyway, I finally found a good website that basically spells out the information I need, so writing shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'd intended to finish the paper tonight, but looks like I'll be working on that tomorrow.

Tomorrow I also take the big objective exam for my first term. It covers everything I'm supposed to have learned in my first five classes. Hopefully I pass - it's worth four credits!!

We're baaaaack!

We're baaaack! We ended up staying a week longer than planned, but hey, we were having a good time.

We left Monday moring. I took this pic before we left and its just about the cutest thing I've ever seen.



The drive up wasn't too bad. We stopped at a lot of rest areas to play in the grass. Lauren slept most of the way until evening when she decided she wanted no more of the car seat. Can't say I blame her, so we stopped just north of St. Louis for the night.

Tuesday afternoon we finally arrived in Janesville. After making a brief stop at my mom's we crashed. Thursday was Lexy's graduation. Even though there was some drama (expected, of course), it turned out to be a nice day. Here's a pic of the grad and Lil.



And here's my brother, Jake, (who's growing up WAY TOO FAST), with Lil. I think he likes being an uncle :o) I couldn't resist the shades.



We spent our trip mainly just hanging out with our families. Oh yeah, and shopping. Lots of shopping. But I'll tell you about that later. Now, just pictures.

Here's Lauren trying to eat a grape stem. It just wasn't what she was hoping for.



And here's my very good friend Erin with Lil. I miss her :o(



Oh yes. From the depths of Donald's parents' basement, is the outfit that Donald had made for him when he was a baby. I had to put it on Lil, just because. She'll kill me when she's older.




We also spent time at the pool. I love Janesville for their FREE!! wading pools.



Lounging in the sun is so much fun! Lauren loves to chew on her duck.



We took some pictures in the grass at the park. I love these shots.






Here's my mom and Lauren with Addy the dog. A little blurry, tho.

Moving

I'm moving my back entries from Myspace here. Hopefully it works.
