Sunday wrap-up

by 5 Comments

No photos today- reason posted below.

Sunday was Fantasy Baseball Auction Day, or – as it is for Lloyd, Christmas.  The day began with early church, not regular church, because Lloyd needed lots of time to set up for his baseball party at school.  (They do it up pretty slick – computers, projectors and giant screens to keep track of everyone’s bids, plenty of pizza and pop for the crowd.)  Anyway, there would be some wonderful pictures of it, since he took the camera along….but he didn’t take any photos.

My day was pretty good – TWO naps (the first one before 11!), some laundry, and some chores.  That’s about it.

Our junk drawer

This is in response to Beth’s post about junk drawers.  Lloyd was ordering pizza for his fantasy baseball auction and forgot to put the phone book back in the junk drawer and also forgot to close the drawer.  So….can you guess where we keep our catnip?

Potato Bake – Check!

by 2 Comments

Check it off the list!  One more thing done in this crazy March!

The Child Development Center hosts the last Lenten meal, and it’s our annual Baked Potato Dinner.  We offer giant baked potatoes with all the fixin’s, salads, and desserts.  The children are in charge of decorations – from the littlest to the oldest.  The recognizable ones hanging from the ceiling are done by the school-agers, and the preschoolers worked on the tabletop art.

Happy tater eaters

I absolutely love how preschoolers draw with pens.  It’s a very true art form.  This Mr. Potato Head reminds me of someone….

“Eat QUiznos subs!”I love these guys!

 

From Russia with liebe

by 3 Comments

Sunday’s out-and-abouting also took us to the Germans from Russia museum.  They were closed – boo.  We walked aroud their little campus though.  I always thought it was just one building, but it’s actually several.  They have an old-timey church, an old-timey store, an old-timey house, and a tiny little old-timey barn just big enough for one old-timey cow and several super-modern chickens. (We’ll have to actually go inside for proof, though.)

I totally feel like I'm in Germany. No, wait - Russia. Germania? Russany? Whatever.

Kinda stony, don't you think? How rude.

Always reading. What a dork.

My class finished up a study of Mail a while ago, so imagine my surprise when they said they’d be coming out with mailboxes that look like R2-D2!  Lincoln has one, so we stopped by on the way to choir to get photos with the celebrity.

I look like C-3PO, huh?

(Sorry, I didn’t send out any letters.)

 

Cricket’s Love

by 7 Comments

Tic Tac, the cat who used to hang around and eat all the food I left out, has been gone for sometime, and now I know why.  We have a boy kitty hanging around.   He met Cricket the other day and thought she was beautiful.  He followed her around the yard, and when ever she’d move he’d make his love sound and sneak closer.  She reacted quite well – no actual fighting.  In fact, no reaction at all.  Pfennig, however, hid by the door and did her little Marge Simpson growl.  (It’s pretty pathetic.)
