So what did you do tonight?

on 1.31.2008

Me, I got roped into a school project that is due tomorrow. It was brought to my attention by this little note that my son gave to me:

Wasn't it sweet of him to make a little checklist for me so I could stay organized with my responsibilities for his autobiography?

My favorite was "tell me what went on when I was 4 and please get a pic of a event with me in it." "Gee, son, I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but there was this time when you were 11 and you had this school project and I wanted to hurt you....I'm willing to take pictures if you want."

We compromised on the 4 year old event complete with picture and I told him that we moved back to Arizona when he was three and we found a picture of a moving van online. Unfortunately for me my neat little checklist wasn't the end of the pictures he desired. He thought of a few more as he went on. It's a good thing I didn't have anything else I had wanted to do tonight.


Here's the finished product with the "pic of me now" on the front:


I hope he dedicated it to me. Or listed me as the illustrator or something. We better get a good grade on this.

Melinda,
I linked to your blog from a friends. I live behind you, I am the sister of the Lee's whose house you bought. Anyways, my son is gluten and dairy free. If you would like, I would love to talk gluten free with you. I have been doing this for a year now. It gets easier!
