Our Week(s) In Reveiw

Where Do We Start....

It's been a couple weeks since our last post, so we thought an update was in order.

• Both Jenna and I are doing great in Kindergarten, we both need to focus a little more, at least that's the our teachers say. This past week was our first full 5 day week of attending school since we started at the end of August. Holiday, In-Service Staff Days, and another Holiday made for 3 and 4 day school weeks up until this week. Looking at the calendar, we don't have another day off until October 12th, that's like 3 weeks away. But we do have our first Field Trip scheduled for October 8th. Mom signed up to come along and make sure we behave.




• Dad was in a pretty bad car wreck this past Monday (9/17) - He was on the way home from work when everybody had to stop, everybody except the guy behind day who wasn't paying attention and talking on his cell phone. He didn't see all of the other cars stopping and crashed into the back of Dad's car doing about 35 miles an hour. Neither that guy or dad were hurt, but for a couple days dad has been moving a little slower, and he said he's pretty sore, but otherwise okay. Mom's helped out a lot, and took dad's car into the repair shop and picked up the rental car so dad wouldn't miss more work. He called off on tuesday because he was battered and bruised and needed the rest. The damage to dad's car is about $4500, which the other guys insurance is paying for. Dad also got a Hot Rod for a rental car, he took us for a ride last night and it's fast, he only went about 200 miles and hour because we were in the car with him, but said he probably could have taken it to 300 if were weren't with him, and if he strapped a rocket to the roof. I don't know why he'd strap a rocket to the roof, or even where he'd get a rocket, sometimes dad is a bit goofy.

• Mom is excited about being on the Parent Teacher Group committee. She said she'll get to do lots of fun stuff for our school this year.

It's My Day

Is today your day, no, what about yours ?, Nope It's Mine.
That's right, Today is my Day. I'm the Child of the Day in Mrs Stengers Kindergarten Class. Each day, she picks a Child of the Day and we learn things about that kid. We each draw a picture of him or her, and write their name, and learn how to say it correctly. I was picked today. So all my classmates drew a picture of me, and learned how to write my name. There are some really good artists in my class. I got a sticker that I worn on my shirt all day, and a check for a million dollars. I'm just kidding about the million dollars, but I did get the sticker.

Go Mommy, It's Your Birthday

Happy Birthday Mommy.

Today is your day, well, yours and anyone else who shares your birthday, but we don't know them, oh wait, we do, our cousin Caitie's birthday is also today, but you're the most special to us. Dad wouldn't tell us how old you are, but he said it's starts with a 3 and ends with a 1, now if we could only figure out that middle number we'd be good to go.

Even though it was your birthday, you had to made the cake for yourself. It was way cool, and worth the money dad spent on the classes that you attended to learn how to make kick butt cakes.

No, that's not our dinner, that's the cake mommy made. Looks just like a burger and fries, tasted like cake though.

That's Jacob with Mommy, she's wearing the Lego Crown that he made for her birthday,

Man Cave

That's what dad has been calling the basement ever since he started the remodel down there.
He spent most of the day down stairs while we were at Gramma's with mom and Jenna. When we got home dad told us to come down to see what he'd been doing. Pretty cool dad, it's really looking good. Almost done eh?





Dad used to have this old computer desk, way back when he lived with grandma & papa. Well he's taken it with him to the house in Parma, then here. It was upstairs in their bedroom for awhile, then got taken apart. Well dad used the top, cut it up a little, and added some vertical shelves that he picked up from Walmart and threw it all together. He put up some shelves on the wall to hold all the computer stuff like the printer, modem, wireless router, teleephone, and well the computer.
