Hope everyone enjoyed the shortest day of the year! Some of you might even have been lucky enough to have seen the lunar eclipse last night. I didn’t, but I saw several photos and it looked like a good ‘un. (For you Southern Hemisphere folks, I hope you enjoyed your Summer Solstice and your longest day of the year!)
Today was our last day of school for 2010. And we had an early dismissal. Yay! I actually got almost half of the catapult reports graded before I left today, which is an accomplishment. And I’m now done with the wood burning & shellacking of the various frames I’m making for gifts for family. There’s one hold-up yet with the crafts, which I hope to work on some during downtimes with the fambly the next couple of days.
Speaking of fambly – tomorrow is Baking Day for me & mom. Then tomorrow night, the girls arrive – Amy & Rachel should be flying in around 10pm. Yay! Will be great to see ’em again!
Will likely be busy with family stuff, though I hope to post a bit before The Big Day. But if not, I’ll just say to you all – Happy Holidays! Hope you are getting some quality time either with family or friends or even just with yourself.
We realised only this morning that today was our summer solstice. Lots of daylight for us! I don’t think I’ll ever get used to your odd school days/holidays system, its all so aaaaalllliiieeeeennnnn 😛
Heh heh – we finally did a smart thing this year. Our first semester doesn’t actually end until 2 weeks after we get back, but rather than have semester exams after 2 weeks of vacation, we had them right before we released for the break. (And I got mine all graded – no failures!)
