Jog-a-thon!

Nathan is Mr. Social. Ryan had fun hanging out with his buddy Ian.

Carter had lots of fun at his first official jog-a-thon. He looks a little taller than the rest of his class.

Carter walked Nathan to school the day after his nose injury and the school counselor asked him what happened to him. He said, "It's a long story" and walked away shaking his head. So here it is. I asked the kids to throw down their laundry from upstairs. Carter likes to run through the laundry while it is falling. Nathan dumped his basket out and Carter took off running. Neither one of them knew that the old cast from Nathan's leg was in the basket. It hit Carter right on the nose. He had a huge knot on the side of his nose and a pretty deep gash. Like he said...long story. He had to explain it about 10 times.

Back to School

The kids first day of school. Kaley is a freshman at Sprague, Ryan is in 5th grade (and wearing contacts...whoo hoo), Nathan is in 2nd grade and Carter is in Kindergarten, all at Schirle Elementary. Both schools are within 4 blocks of my house! Life is good.

Bugs falling from the Sky!!

Anyone who knows me, or has been to girls camp with me, knows I am a bit of a bug phob. Dan and I are standing on the driveway talking and I heard this THUD. I jump and look down, RIGHT NEXT TO ME and there is this HUGE bug. I almost had to change my britches!
