Late Night Notes

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Hopefully well... It's 1:40 in the A.M. here where I am - and yes I am still up. I think I will be getting some sleep pretty soon though....feeling tired now. Just wanted to share how the rest of the day went once I left to pick up Eli from school. I shared earlier that I had to run out the door because it was already a few minutes after noon and I had to pick him up at 12:15. Well, they didn't open the gate till closer to 12:30! Oh well, just glad it was not a day that was freezing cold (was in the 40s). Eli was not in the best mood after getting picked up because he didn't get to participate in any of the fun stuff because of the trouble that him and 2 other kids got in on the bus the other day. They had to go to another room (or area, not sure) and do math problems. They also had to write an apology letter to the substitute for not being on their best behavior. I think they should have written an apology to the student they were picking on/bullying too. Anyways, the time after picking him up was spent doing laundry. Also made dinner at my mom's - hamburger helper. When we got home, Eli went in his room and played/watched his TV for a while and my husband and I watched some movies. I forget the first one, but the second one was a very strange movie - Meet the Killer Parents. It's free on Tubi if anybody wants to check that one out. Anyways - sharing another gingerbread house design that I have been working on. Would love to know what you all think, as always. Thinking of some last ideas for Christmas art as it is only 4 days away!

Kids will be kids but if it had of been my kid that got in trouble I would have a good talk with him & tell him that's not good to pick on others, that he wouldn't want to get picked on.

I am going to miss your Christmas art, but I am sure what you do next will be just as spectacular.

I hope he learned from that. You could have him write a letter to the other kid. Nice picture

Hopefully, but Eli is extremely stubborn so I don't know. And not going to make him if the other kids aren't going to write one.

Sorry that Eli and his friend missed the fun activities. But then he would learn that bad behaviour have their consequences. Your art looks good.

Love the art, mixed feelings on the MTKP movie, I'll just leave that at that. In regards to Eli, I am sorry that he missed out on the class fun, but hopefully the consequences of his behavior make a lasting impact on his future behavior for the better.

Glad you like the art. It was an interesting movie for sure. I forget what movie we watched before that because that one was so crazy haha. Well, he needs to learn to not behave that way....
