Rain, rain, fall today

Every day is a perfect day for Pink. :-) Rain is perfect for a pink umbrella, too. Trinity had just such an umbrella for just such a day and nothing is as grown up as waiting for the school bus in front of the house. Perfect!

Parthenon

Shad's put in extra effort at school... and he's always got his own idea of how he wants things done. Nothing would do but an entire mini replica of the Parthenon in clay for Social Studies. He also had to write a "letter of request" to a museum to submit it as an artifact as his team journey's around the Mediterranean. Pretty fun. We added the room where explosives were stored that blew up to leave the ruins behind that are there today. Maybe we should visit Greece! :-)

Nana & Papa Jim

Nana had a Godz Girlz meeting and Papa Jim needed to fix the septic at the rental, so they got a room at a nearby hotel and invited us over to play. First we hung out with Trish and showed them both the new shop in Gresham and ate out at the Olive Garden. It was almost too much fun packed into one day, but somehow we managed.

Shad & the Baritone

:-) Good job, Shad!! I see you in there!

Mr. Evans was injured - his wrist was wrapped up so he won't move it mid-surgery. ouch! He was funny and laid back and maybe even a little unorganized, but he couldn't have been feeling too good.

SNOW!!

No way! It's March and it's snowing!!!! What a crazy year, seriously. We didn't waste a minute, never knowing how many we'd get. Everyone suited up and found some snow. We played 'til fingers were frizzed and drank all the hot chocolate!!

PE Night

Deep Creek has a great PE program with a very creative teacher who is widely known as Mr Lustig or Mr Awesome! (I made that up). We were somehow persuaded to join 300 kids and families running around the school gym at night. I don't remember when we've laughed so hard. Slept great that night, too. (Endless benefits!)

Vintage Paint!!!!

Wow! this is such a blessing.... we're putting together a NEW SHOP in Gresham. There's so much to do to get ready, it's almost overwhelming, but we're bringing stuff over and finding homes for everything needed to work on cars again... building a paint booth from scratch. Hey, vacation was nice, but we're ready to get back to work!! Woohoo!!
