Community Service and Catch up

Unbelievable how fast time goes. It seems like just yesterday it was Friday... To get you up to speed, we have been having fun. Saturday we spent the day with Madeline and Julie, going to lunch and seeing "Fly me to the Moon". Cute movie, but costly. Saturday night we went to Richfield days. Simon and Randy rode rides, over and over, played games, over and over, then we watched the fireworks.

Sunday, we took Rene for Lydia to the parade. It was fun, then he played here for a while. I had to work at church.

Monday....we played with Rene again. We went to the park so they could ride scooters. SImon got stung by a bee. Not fun, but a trip to Pops for ice cream helped ease the pain!

Tuesday....Simon and I cleaned up the park we were at Monday. It looked a mess and I thought it would be a good community service project for us. He did a great job, I was very proud of him. After that we went to a 7 hour birthday party!! YES, 7 hours. It was fun, starting at the spray park and ending at their house. Long day.

Wednesday....meet your teacher day at school. We took in all his supplies, filled his new desk and met Mrs Otzelberger-Held. Very nice lady. SImon was excited about his desk, he is sitting next to his good freind Matt Kohn. I signed up to be class room photographer!!! Yippeee, I also will go in as a class helper. I am looking forward to that as well. So, now I am up to date. The remainder of the week is fillled with more plans to see friends and enjoy our last days of summer vacation. Hope you enjoy yours....

PS I also joined SnapFitness today!!

Sad day

Thursday, today. We found this tiny adorable little duckling that was abonded by his mom and siblings. He had a hurt leg and they left him behind. SImon and I decided we would rescue him and make him well and then set him free. We took him with us to school, showed all his friends and his teacher. His final instructions to me on the playground were..."mom, take care of my duck until I get home" I knew I was doomed. Well, sadly the tiny duck died. Here is a photo of him. We then had a ducky funeral with some of his friends. It was all good until Jackson dug him back up and was carrying him around!! Daddy and Simon found a good spot for him and reburied him tonight, next to the 3 dogs and 2 cats we already have buried in the back yard. Rest in peace.

life is so busy

Where do the days go?? I try to blog everyday so you can all keep up with us, but at the end of the day, I am exhausted!! Lets see, we'll start with way back last Friday. It was our mom's and kid's Friday Fun Day. Some of us moms and kids from his class regularly get together to do a fun activity on Friday afternoons after school. Last Friday was no exception. We were all at the zoo. I have attached some photos of our trip. Who needs to see animals when you have your friends around to play with. It was a great day of fun.

Frog pond

Well, we finally made it to the much talked about "frog pond" We went with some good friends..it was all boy. They were so excited. 1 frog and 5 fish were caught. We were tormented by a big fish we labeled "dead eye" He looked like he had been hooked in the eye before but somehow escaped. Well...dirty dead eye would swim up close to the bait and then turn his nose up at it. He did this many times which was very frustrating to the boys would wanted to land a big one. It makes for a good fish story anyway. We have heard there are HUGE bullfrogs in this pond, so we will return!!
