Aaron's Video Test

Just a quick video test...

What Bug or Animal Do You Think I Am?

Aaron's class spent much of their Friday dressing up as animals and creating this poster for all the parent's. Can you tell what animals they are?



Aaron has two pictures in the poster (a front and back). Jacob's picture is next to the word "What"... I almost didn't recognize him.

Happy Mother's Day... in 1978!

I visited my parent's today to help them install their new HDTV and Digital Cable DVR and my mom brought out an old Mother's Day card I had given her back in 1978. It was a 10-year-old's attempt at a humorous card and well done... in my opinion.



Yes, "Mikey" was my nickname and still haunts me today! Who is Charlie... he was my imaginary friend. We did everything together.

Pre-School Activities

Aaron's teacher (Mr Gabriel) does a lot of fun activities with the kids. I'm trying to remember to grab a few photos of these projects whenever I can. Here are a few lists from the last month that he put together with the kids.





"Skettie" is how Aaron says spaghetti. Mr Gabriel is great at writing down exactly what the kids say.

Salad from the Garden

One of the nice things about a community garden is... the community! We had our first "garden" salad tonight thanks to our garden neighbor (Min) who had extra lettuce to share.



Aaron loves salads so eating his dinner was no problem. It's meat that we struggle getting him to eat.

Another Garden Box

The 4 large garden boxes are all done. Now, all that is left are the 2 smaller boxes. We got one of those done today. Unfortunately, it sank a bit after being placed and looks awkward. I may dig it out to fix.



Bridget spent her time doing more planting. Aaron helped quite a bit but prefers to dig through the dirt and look for worms. He found one!

Dinner with Friends

Dinner with the Marcus and Wiprut families is always a good time. Although the volume from 5 boys running around can get pretty high... wine makes it all good (as Kristin demonstrates below).



Popsicles in the patio for the boys.
