Happy Labor Day / Elyssa's Indian Longhouse

Happy Labor Day to everyone. Ok so today was a great day. I got up and decided that today was the day that we needed to finish Elyssa's Indian Longhouse project for school. Personally I hate when they send projects home because I end up doing most of the work unless it is a science project in which they have to do it. Anyway Elyssa got assigned a Longhouse and so I told Dale that he would have to be the one to help her with this because I am just to busy. Ha ha on me because guess who ended up doing most of the work. Yup you guessed it, it was me. Now don't get me wrong Dale helped out a lot as did Elyssa and Dj tried to help but I really wanted Elyssa to come up with the ideas for the project. Anyway we finally finished it at about 3:30. Anyway here are some pic's from the finished project. Elyssa hand make a canoe and a bowl and grinder as things they used in their everyday lives.

The first picture is of the right side of the longhouse. The second is of the front with the front down so you can see inside. The third is of left side of the longhouse. The fourth is of the back of the long house and the fifth and last is of the front with the front up.

Then headed over to the church for the Labor Day Pic-Nic. We had a great time and got to really talk to our friends. On that note I think that my little Dj is becoming more of a teenager everyday. Today as we were leaving the Pic-nic, he and Liza Wall we up at the ward building talking a laughing with each other. At first I didn't think anything of it and kinda teased him a little about it. But at the end of the night when he was about to go to bed he handed me a note that read,"How do you know when a girl really LIKES you." I had to ask why and he said just answer the question so I told him it is different with different girls and then asked again who it was he was talking about. He told me Liza and that he really likes her but wasn't sure if she liked him the same way. I told him that he just had to wait it out and see where it goes. He said ok and went to bed but I have a feeling that this won't be the end of that conversation. Since he is not allowed to date until he is 16 I don't think I have much to worry about but you never know with kids these days. This may just end up being a crush that he gets over and then again it may end up being more. Who knows I guess we shall see where this adventure leads us. Ha ha. Anyway after all that I sent Dale off to work and I am now headed to bed.

Blog at you later.
