Friday - CrAZy Day!

We have, for your viewing pleasure....a CraZY girl! A tutu with grass skirt, butterfly leggings, water shoes and the obviously funky hair! Love it! I need to post my pics of Homecoming/Spirit week from when I was teaching. You'll see we have a history of really getting into these things!

Nathan did this all on his own! What a fun kid! He was pumped to be CrAzY too!

Thursday - Sports Day

I think gymnastics is a sport! We don't have jerseys and ball caps here supporting a fave team because we're really not sportsy people. So in order to participate today we raided the dress-up box. We have, for your viewing pleasure, a neon green and hot pink sequined unitard. Ha - we've got spirit!

Who do I know in San Antonio?

Something interesting happened this morning...
A specific post of mine was hit tens of times by a computer in San Antonio TX. It took me a while but I think I figured out why.
It was the post about our wills and such. And in that post I mentioned the name of a certain financial institution. The hits were all from their server.
I'm thinking they have some sort of search engine looking for mentions of their institution. That way they can whoop on you if you say something mean or illegal or share trade secrets or their recipe for baked beans. :)
Word to the wise - be careful who you mention in your blog!

What a coincidence!

I was just over at April's blog watching this video.

During the middle of it I get an email from Pam talking about it!

I had decided I would probably post it - but now it's definite. If 2 cool people think it's cool then it's worth passing on. Most of my readership (in the fabulous state of WA) will have already heard about it but another positive experience today can't hurt!

Who's who

Now these aren't my kids so you don't get names, but maybe you'd like to know about Ashlyn's school year and the kids who made it memorable.

Front row:
First on left, green shirt: Girl whose papers we get b/c their names are similar.
Third from left, tan jacket: famous from twin day, often shares a computer to play Freddi Fish with Ashlyn, one of her best friends

Second row:
First on left - the giver of the Valentine's day chocolates, got a little crush on our girlie. Likes to give her pretty rocks and fake flowers.
Last 2 on right - the guys she's considering for a husband. You know the "quiet" ones. The second from the right was her first love and mutually anticipated spouse (also likes to bring her fake flowers from home), the last one was a late-comer - but very promising!

Third row:
Last on right - the boy who's always in the "Thinking Chair" for less than stellar behavior. He's super crushy on all the girls and likes to try and get their attention by poking them and talking during work time and by stabbing pencils in their arms.

Last row:
1st on left: the princess herself
Hot pink, 4th from left: pal from Miss Patti's - went to the races together

And also... that is not her teacher. She left for a wedding that day! That is actually her teacher's aide. At least the substitute teacher isn't in there!
