This was my first week back to work. Mostly meetings at the school while I tried to get the Media Center ready for students. Last year I had a Harry Potter theme as the 7th book had just come out. I turned my office into Hogwarts with much success on my part. Everyone thought it was awesome. I used shelf paper and then painted it with a stencil using that granite spray paint so it looked like big rocks. Unfortunately, that made this year a bit more difficult.

Ian and I really loved reading the third Fablehaven book this summer - The Grip of the Shadow Plague. So, I went with that theme. It's not as awesome as Harry Potter, but it's pretty cute. Maybe I can send a picture to Brandon Mull to convince him to visit the school.

School starts on Monday and everyone is excited and nervous.

Today is my last day of summer vacation. Ian and Grace and I visited a cemetary in Provo that is really peaceful and overlooks the valley. It is also home to a bunch of bunnies. We saw three.

Jackson will be coming home tonight after attending his football camp. It was hard to have him gone, he had to leave his cell at home so there was no contact the entire time. We are all looking forward to the cranky teenagers return.

Speaking of books...I'm halfway through the last book in the Twilight series - Breaking Dawn. I really like it, it isn't anything that I expected. Hope to finish it before Saturday.

Yeah!!!! Our summer reading program has ended. It was a lot of work as I was on the team posting all the online reviews. If you're looking for a review of something to read done by the average library patron take a look here.
