Garren did a fabulous job at his Spring Kindergarten Program. His class sang "The World is a Rainbow" and did the sign language motions with the words. It was so cute!
Art Show
A watercolor painting that Garren did at school was recently chosen to be displayed in the county's Art Show! He was so proud to show us his masterpiece, and with good reason, too! He did an amazing job!
Let's go, Timbrook!
Garren is enjoying his first season of t-ball on team Timbrook. His skills and knowledge of the game are greatly improving. During the last game he didn't need the tee and hit all three times when the coach pitched it to him. We are so proud of him!
Calvin and his cars
I often find Calvin in his room playing with all his cars and trucks. I love how they all "talk" to each other in high-pitched voices.
Happy 36th Birthday, Chris!
A "fishy" 36th birthday party! (Chris, how does it feel to be soooo old??)We celebrated with family and ate Swedish Fish cupcakes, peach kuchen and ice cream, goldfish crackers, and spinach artichoke dip. Another great birthday for an even greater man! I love you, Chris.
Good-bye "Deal" Blog
I'm announcing the final post of my "deal" blog, myextremedeals.blogspot.com. Farewell!
Fractured Clavicle
The Thursday after Halloween I picked up Calvin to put him in his chair to eat dinner and he started crying. He said that his shoulder hurt. I thought that he just didn't want to eat his food as he has used this excuse at other times when I knew he wasn't hurt. Throughout the weekend he was inconsistent in complaining about the pain. Sometimes I picked him up and he was fine. And when I told him on Monday morning that I was taking him to the doctor he let me pick him up (several times) and insisted that he was "all better." We decided that he should be seen just in case. The doctor really didn't have any worries but sent him to get an x-ray anyway. I was shocked when the radiologist showed me the fractured clavicle. Calvin then had to be fitted with a figure 8 brace. He must wear the brace day and night for at least the next two weeks. He will have a follow up appointment at that time and they will determine whether he has to continue wearing it. He's getting used to the brace and is in great spirits. The only problem we have is trying to keep him from playing too hard.
October Snow
The kids were so excited for this unexpected snowfall before Halloween. It was perfect packing snow so we made a snowman with real coal eyes and buttons (which turned out to be a mistake because it was so dirty) and a fabulous wooden pipe that Chris made out of tree branches.
