To the Zoo

I went with Sam's class on their field trip to the zoo today and Ella spent the day with Daddy. I think both kids had a great day! Sam enjoyed getting to feed the goats and the giraffes. He also enjoyed the time at the zoo playground. I realized that kindergardeners are exhausting.

Bye-Bye Tooth!

Sam lost his first tooth the last week of April! He was so excited. He had been wiggling it around for weeks. It was so loose we knew it was going to happen any time. I was telling him to try to twist it and it just popped out.

The tooth fairy came and brought Sam a silver dollar. He was thrilled when he found it in the morning. He went running up to John and said, "Daddy look! The tooth fairy brought me a big dime!"

No more real loose teeth right now but I am sure the tooth fairy will be visiting again before too long.

Ohhh lightening!

I have some catching up to do on the blog. I have been without a computer since May 1st. It has been a real pain since I use the computer for so many things. We had lightening strike near our house and come in through the lines causing a great deal of damage. We lost two tvs, two garage door openers, the electric parts of our gas fireplace, wii, playstation 2 & 3, tv receiver and our computer.

Our house has been full of repairmen which is such a pain. The thing I hate the most is the we will be there between noon and five. Sure, I have nothing better than to sit around and wait all afternoon. We are down to a few finishing touches on the tv in the main room and then everything will be working again.

The silver lining was that we got to upgrade our computer. Tonight is my first night on but I'm already amazed at everything new computers can do. I know the man at Best Buy thought I was crazy with some of the questions I was asking but oh well.
