Workin' it at school

I have been up at my new SCHOOL for the past week or so, pretty much every moment of my spare time! Here are the promised pictures of how things look right now:




I know those picture tell like nothing about how things actually are...and, since those were taken, I have put paper on the big bulletin board by the colored blocks (red) and on one of the small bulletin boards by the chalkboard (white). My mom came up this evening and helped me for awhile...she sorted through tons of magnetic letters--it took about an hour and a half to get through two boxes and one big ziploc bag. Here is a picture of my mom when she first started (and was overwhelmed by) the task:


After a lot of work (and a lot of "is this a p or a d?" and "is this a b or a q?"), she got through the whole stack (and saved me a TON of work and time!):


The finished product...a LOT of magnetic letters...and my mom had very dirty hands (because a lot of very dirty kids' hands have touched those magnets!)




And, just to end this short, picture-filled post right, here is a picture of Max, our kind of cat who used to live next door, but two families have left him and so he mostly hangs out in our yard (and in our garage, and on our porch, and in our driveway, and clearly with our car-washing mitts)...he looks like such a pimp:
