Andy's New Car

This morning we went to Fred Haas Toyota World and Andy bought a 2009 Highlander Limited. It is a pretty sweet ride. It has a navigation system and rearview camera, 3rd row seats, sunroof, etc. Andy is pretty psyched about it and the kids think it is awesome too.

3rd/4th Grade Fun Day

Andy, Anna, and Morgan at the Huge Disc Throw

Morgan, Anna, and Maddie on the Buddy Walkers

Friday was "Fun Day" for Glen Loch 3rd and 4th graders. Andy and I volunteered to work a couple of stations. Andy was in charge of the Huge Disc Throw and I manned the Buddy Walkers. It was pretty warm but the kids all seemed to have a great time.

Adrian's First Board-breaking at Taekwondo

Today Adrian attended a board-breaking class at his Taekwondo facility. He was able to break 3 boards using whatever kicks or punches he chose. He broke all of them with the first punch/kick. He was very proud of himself and I was too.

Girl Scout Fishing Derby

This morning we went to Creekwood Park for a Girl Scout fishing derby. Morgan's first cast she caught a fish! It was about 2 inches long. We were stunned. We thought the morning was going to be like catching fish in a barrel. Unfortunately an hour and a half later, and many, many casts, no other fish were caught. Adrian came very close once but it got away. Fishing was a new experience though and the kids had a good time.

Poor Morgan

Friday morning I got a call from the school nurse that Morgan had an accident at P.E. She had been running laps when someone stepped on her heel and she went down. She scraped up both knees pretty badly and busted up her mouth. She will have to go to the dentist on Monday to have her top front left tooth repaired. She has had a hard time eating since the incident.

Sweet & Sassy

On Thursday afternoon Morgan and her Brownie troop were picked up at school by the Sweet & Sassy pink limo. They were so excited and felt like stars. At Sweet & Sassy they learned about business, made lip gloss, ate cupcakes, had their hair styled, and got to walk the runway. It was cute!

Impromptu Vacation

Sunday afternoon we received an automated phone call from the school district saying that Glen Loch Elementary would be closed all of this week because of 3 probable cases of swine flu. The kids were of course excited. The bad thing is that the Glen Loch lock in that was to be this Friday night was cancelled. The kids were really looking forward to it and so were Andy and I since we were going to have a date that night. Also we paid in advance and don't know if it will be rescheduled or if the money will be refunded. I guess we'll just wait and see.
