Jacob and Marcia

Last week, we had two experiences where we derived benefit from the mistakes of others:
Story #1:
We were at one of our local department stores, buying pieces for a halloween costume.  We went as convicts, which was simple to do: scrubs with a number painted on, and some makeshift waist-chain handcuffs.  We found the scrubs, but [...]

I had two work at the preschool twoday.  It was fun.  Maybe twomorrow I will be up two telling stories.  Twoday Jacob surprised me by showing up with a dozen pretty pink roses.  Making all the Girls that work there say, “Aawww!”  I was impressed two.

We went out two eat.  We had not tried [...]

They are Fruity Cheerios.

I discovered these at the preschool.  They use them at snack time.  I tasted them to see if I might like them.  I do.  They are not covered in “frosting” and do not leave a slime covering in the mouth or bowl, like certain other round fruit flavored cereals.  When Matt, Ronda, [...]

G1- Mommy
Me- Are you talking [...]

I made an executive decision.  Rick is the only one that has guessed on last week’s quiz, so I am going to leave it again for this week to see if we can get more guesses.  My [...]

  I love this.  So I took a minute and grabbed the camera for a few shots.
This morning Jacob and I had to take my car in for an [...]

Yesterday and today I found myself working at the preschool.  Lots of fun.  Here are some of the conversations:
I was asking some of the kids yesterday about how the weekend went for them.  A number of them talked about the ballon rally (an annual event in our town-pictures at the end as seen from the [...]

On Thursday (now a week ago) I went up to Ronda’s to watch the big girls so Ronda and G1 could get their eyes checked. We had fun. I have pictures somewhere of that. I am not sure if they are still on the camera or on the computer, but I am [...]
