Sushi Sweetheart

Good evening everyone. Another week in the books. Actually, sort of an emotional one, but we'll get to that in a bit. April Fools Day, she played the ultimate prank on her classmates by using food markers on her sandwiches and lunch. I had a weird work week, getting a Tuesday off because of getting stuck working on a Thursday, but I made the best of it. Mia's 2nd grade teacher had her very last week of school for the year. She's officially on maternity leave, so the kids were pretty emotional this week. Her teacher and I decided to continue the tradition of myself doing a one-off drawing lesson with her class. I knew I didn't have a lot of weeks left, and with the art show, I was getting pretty busy. Luckily, we found a good day to do it. The kids were super surprised I was there, and Mia's mouth dropped when she heard us explain that we will be drawing Stitch to celebrate Ohana. I sorta rushed through it a bit due to a lack of time, but the kids had a lot of fun, and it went really well. I was requested to draw using the Smart board projector which works, but it also distorts the art when I'm drawing. Sorry kids. Finally, they enjoyed looking at all the sketches in my 2 binders. It was cute that Mia sat next to me in the chair while her classmates gushed about all the art. Hopefully it reminded her how lucky it is that I take the time to draw her something special daily.

Later, she got ready and went off to dance class. Picked her up a few hours later and it was quite nice to hear about how much fun it was. She even showed me a couple things she gets to do during her Spring performance. Jill and I voted on election day. Sadly, the referendum did not pass and they are considering some "tough choices" which include consolidating the high schools and/or closing Mia's. It's really too bad that because the school district struggles financially that ultimately the students end up suffering the most. Guess time will tell when we find out what the decisions they come up with. At the end of the week, Mia gave some baby clothes to her teacher as well as a card she made. I did a little pineapple sketch for her as well.

Saturday, we held a 2nd birthday celebration for Mia, which consisted of family. It was a lot of fun celebrating with everyone. In the morning, Mia made a cake for the party, and aided Jill with making sushi and Chinese food. The nephews Easton and Camden were crazy fun as usual. Mia crashed with Jill on the couch as I finished a pen drawing for her for Monday.

Today, not much going on. Mia woke up and immediately went to work on a Lego set Uncle Tommy got her.  When I got home tonight, I saw she completed one set. Awesome. Looks like she's done some fashion drawing as well. This week, nothing major planned. Supposed to have some weird weather this week. Chelsea is back in action tomorrow so I hope they can hop a few teams and sneak into 3rd.

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
