Nothing to do but blog, clean, and relax

So, school is over for the 2006-2007 school year. My oldest daughter finished her testing for placement into her high school for next school year. My slides are finished for the June conference, and by the end of the day today, I should have all the arrangements and reservations made for the trip. On Monday, the two older girls go to Youth Camp with the church.

So next week I'll have no pressing deadlines, and a week to hang out with my baby. I'm feeling a bit at a loss. It's been so long since we haven't had school hanging over our heads. I'm trying to decide if we should take on a big project (like sewing a dress) or a slightly smaller project (like working on scrapbooks together). I'm looking forward to some quality time with my youngest daughter, and I don't want us to be stressed out.

Today is my day to clean up the living room, and I have some cleaning to do in the kitchen today, too. But hopefully, I'll have some time to work on my scrapbooks today.

I also had a chance to watch some rented DVDs. We just finished How the West Was Won. I had forgotten how much I love the score to that movie. I remember seeing that movie when I was really little. Even as a little kid, I was impressed by John Wayne fighting the Civil War and the buffalo stampede. The movie reminded me so much of my dad. All through the movie, I kept thinking, "My dad loved this part." Especially during the buffalo stampede. They used real buffalo back then, in 1962. I'm not sure they could do that now and claim that no animals were injured. I'm really glad we rented this movie. It brought back a lot of memories.
