Teachers In-service Day

For the past two years, the boys have been off on a Tuesday each Spring for a Teacher’s In-service Day. Sherry was out of town this week, so I took the day off. We went to Pin Strikes to play at the arcade. Hunter hit the Jackpot and won 1000 tickets. The machine ran out and had to be restocked in the middle! That was A LOT of tickets!!!! He ended up with 1385 in all. Definitely the most I’ve ever seen! After we loaded up our prizes from the arcade we headed over to Menchie’s for some yummy Fro-Yo. It was really good, aside from Graham’s wacky combination of Cinnamon Roll, Mint and Strawberry-Banana! After a few bites, he was suddenly very FULL!

Easter 2009

All the "egg hunts" were with plastic eggs this year, which the kids prefer, due to the candy/prizes inside. We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
