Big time.
So I started another craft today and there is an 80% chance that this one is going to fail as well.
Time will tell.
All is not lost, however, because today I made significant progress with organizing the pile of Connor's school work that has haunted me for far too long. I have a really, really hard time tossing anything that he has done.
- Worksheets? I've kept them.
- Artwork? I've kept it.
- Random scraps of construction paper stapled together? I'm got them!
The sorting has started and now I'm looking for a great way of storing the items that we are going to keep. Perhaps I'll find some ideas on Pinterest? : )

In other news, I went to Connor's class today to read The Cat in the Hat Comes Back in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. It was a lot of fun and t reminded me of how much I used to enjoy doing social skills groups with elementary kiddos back in the day.
Tonight, Connor attended his first school carnival. His favorite activity was the bounce house.
Tomorrow is a classmate's birthday party and a visit to Grammie and Grampy's new house.
Busy days!
Here is what I just did with Finn's stuff... I save all of it in a plastic box, from time to time I go through and take pics, pitch the stuff, and I'm making him a my Publisher book of all his preschool stuff. They send home at least one thing every day and you just can't keep everything without it being total chaos, so this was a decent compromise. I still hold on to some favorites.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I'll have to look into My Publisher! How'd you get so smart? :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your crafting--it can be discouraging, but you are good at it, so I'll sure if you keep trying it will work.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with saving kid's artwork. I really should tackle it.
I'm having some internet issues at home, so I'm saying "hi" while I'm out and about with free high speed internet :)
Thanks Jemm! I'm sorry to hear that you're having internet trouble. That's just not fun...
ReplyDeleteTake care!
