Great day for anything but packing

Today was the last day of pottery class for Darby and art/acting class for Shelby. Shelby's class had a little six minute skit they put together and performed for the parents on the last day. That was cute. I said goodbye to the kiddos at the art center since I will be on the road this time tomorrow. After class their mother took them up to Kingfisher to see their grandmother.

Check out Shelby's canvas painting from her art class and Darby's creepy jack-o-candle-holder from pottery.

On the way home I just had to swing by Best Buy and pick up some new music for the road. Besides, it's been almost a month since my last music purchase (I try to keep myself to one or two CDs a month lest I go overboard). I picked up the previously angsted over Say It Like You Mean It (Starting Line), and the first Yellowcard album (One for the Kids), since I had such a good experience with their newer album.

It's 63 and clear out. A little windy, but a perfect day for driving around with the sunroof open. On the way home I even took an access road instead of the highway at one point so I could take my time and enjoy the nice day while I could.

At the moment I'm doing laundry and packing. Yuck. I have to pack for myself and the kids, and then I have to take the kids' suitcase over to their mother's. Have I mentioned that I hate packing?


UPDATE, 9 March
The Starting Line album is seriously good stuff. I don't have enough extremities to count how many times I've listened to the album (including right now). The Yellowcard album is still growing on me, though its follow up has not only grown on me, but is firmly rooted at this point. The difference between the two albums is apparent. "Big labelhood" has nicely refined them, which doesn't always work out in a band's favor.
