That sounds good!

We usually have Open House before school starts, but because of construction, we'll have it later. I would love to find something (science-related) that I can display. But, the thing is, I can't display EVERYBODY's, so that's not very fair.

Aly's friend is coming over. Her grandma's (where they're staying) has no electricity and their house just got electricity but also has MOLD. So her dad's coming up to clean it up and she's tired of being cooped up at grandma's house.

Aly doesn't even know yet--she's still sleeping. She stayed up until 2am reading, writing, and playing her DS. I watched a show that ended at 2 and made her go to bed.

When Gabby was in 5th grade they displyed their scientific drawing pictures for science.Last year they displayed some type of poster related to gravity.FOr LA last year they diplyed their how I got my name essays.Each grade has its own hallway and they prettty much display every child's project.For math last year it was a poster on %'s.Our open house/parents night is always teh 3rd week of Sept.It is always nice to put a face to the name.Plus by the 3rd week of school all the drama about the teachers is at bay and Gabby is pretty much in the swing of the school year.

Well, New Orleans is officially reopened, and I just got this e-mail from Audubon:

Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and Entergy IMAX® Theatre will celebrate the reopening of the city and return of its residents by offering special ticket price this weekend. Both Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and Entergy IMAX® Theatre will be open Saturday, Sept. 6 and Sunday, Sept. 7 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Tickets to each facility are just $5!

Audubon Aquarium of the Americas is the most visited tourist attraction in the state of Louisiana and offers eye-to-eye encounters with creatures of the deep from large sharks to jellyfish, sea horses and sea otters. It also features “ Adventure Island,” which offers the youngsters a place to play, and even touch stingrays and sharks.

Entergy IMAX® Theatre has a five-and-a-half story tall silver screen and is showing several amazing giant screen adventures including Sea Monsters, Dolphins & Whales 3D, Bugs 3D and Hurricane on the Bayou. Tickets are $5 for IMAX features during this weekend only.

The Zoo & Insectarium are still closed, though.
