Random.....

I was rushing around the house trying to get ready to take Jared to his game and this is what I found. I have to take pictures when my kids actually get along to prove that it really does happen. Maelen had a rare afternoon with nothing going on and Jared was just "patiently" waiting for me and decided to go have a chat with his big sis. I am probably glad I don't know what they are discussing.

Babysitting

My visiting teacher came last week and brought me some beautiful orchid stems. It was such a wonderful treat. I guess Maelen and I "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed enough that she let us babysit her orchid plants while she goes back east for her son's graduation. We should be getting about 8 or 9 stems before she gets back!! She also left us her cilantro plants to babysit - yum!

Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley is on his way to visit Uncle Mike and Aunt Michelle's family. Luckily for us, they are good sports. For those of you who don't know, Flat Stanley is a book about a kid named Stanley who is flattened one night when a bulletin board falls on him. A little gruesome, I know. However, since he is flat, he can be rolled up and mailed all over the place. The book tells some of his adventures like being flown like a kite and finally being pumped back up by his brother with a bicycle pump. One kid had Flat Stanley visit a relative who plays hockey and he came home with a black eye! You never know what will happen. Kendall is looking forward to seeing and hearing all about his adventures in San Marcos!! Thank you Mike & Michelle!!

I'm a Ham....

HAM Radio Technician, Class 2, that is. During April I took a HAM Radio class. It was pretty interesting and a great skill to know in case of emergency. I knew the info pretty well, but for some reason I studied harder because I reaaaallllly wanted to get 100%. Well the test is not really very hard and I did get a 100%. I will have my call sign as soon as the paperwork makes it through the FCC and then all I need to do is buy a radio. Yippee! By the way, not even my teacher knew what HAM stands for.
