Check out the feet....
Each time a batter comes to the plate...Coach Howard reminds the kids to be "baseball ready". The Pirate ALWAYS jumps into his position! It is very funny...I caught him in action!
We're waiting and very excited!!!!!
There it is! Right above an American Flag....
Going higher and higher....
Look at the smoke from the rocket boosters.
That's the Pirate and Coach Howard.
It was chilly that morning and check out the fog....
Hip Hop T-ball dude!I have not posted in a while. We have had many "things", "events", "happenings" going on. Here is a list....
Only The Pirate had the Flu...
Then got the stomach flu after Mommy had it and then Daddy got it!
Then, he got stung by a wasp two times! At least we know he is NOT allergic!
The Pirate won the Edison Regional Invention Fair for First grade. He won last year while in Kindergarten. Two years in a row!!!
The Pirate has been out 5 days this quarter from school, he has gotten behind in his AR reading. He read and took 7 AR tests this week! My little bookworm!!!!
The Pirate is playing T Ball this year. He is on the Mets. Two games a week.
He also went to the dentist and got a clean bill of health. NO CAVITIES!!!!!
Well....
The Mermaid went to the dentist and has 6 CAVITIES!!!! Thank goodness we have dental insurance....$400 bucks to fill them in!
She ran into the sliding glass door..she is OK!
No, she did not get the Flu OR the Stomach Flu. I know...what's up with that?????
The Mermaid got to change her earrings for the first time and one was slightly infected. It is getting better...
The Mermaid got a hair cut. It is getting long...
The Mermaid likes going to the baseball field and wants to play (she does EVERYTHING the Pirate does!)
When asked what she has for lunch at school...she replies " a crabby patty". WAY... Too much Spongebob!
All is good for now. Everyone is healthy. FCAT testing is over. Daddy is still is tutoring everyday. Mommy is holding down the fort.
I promise to post some pictures.
we received the email that changed the dynamics of our family. It is hard to believe it was a year ago that we found out we were matched with the Mermaid. The Pirate was in class, Daddy was teaching and Mommy was glazing pinch pots with her art students. It was, as I remember...a very happy day!
Great photo from the birthday party. Happy Birthday Parker! The Superstar and The Pirate had a great time.
PS The Superstar's Mommy always gets the best pics!
The Pirate got up with no Fever!!!!!! Yeah..... I think we are feeling better. So, we got dressed and headed down to the convention center for the Edison Regional Inventors Fair. Last year, The Pirate was the Regional winner in Kindergarten. So, he has to defend his title!!!! He placed second this year at school with his ReMedia Holder (a smartphone holder made from a paper bag that can be hung from a seat or tray table. Great for kids to watch video's on their parents phones!) and now, he qualified to go to Regionals. We got there and he went in to be interviewed by the judges. They asked all kinds of questions about the invention and it is the inventors job to sell it. There was a yellow ribbon on it at the end of the day...so we have an awards ceremony to go to tomorrow night. We will see what place he came in.
When we were leaving, they had a Discovery Day set up for the kids. We walked by and there was a Shriners Club display about their hospitals. Well, the Mermaid is needing surgery. We stopped and talked to the man. He gave us the name and number of the man in town that can help us get an appointment for the Mermaid to get a consultation. He seemed very positive and The Mermaid REALLY liked his tassle!!!! Yikes..the hat almost came off !!!!! I'll keep everyone posted.
The Pirate went to a best buddies birthday party. He had a great time bowling, eating pizza and cake! The Superstar was there too and his Mom brought The Pirate home so I could go get his Invention. Like I said...Crazy Saturday!!!!
