Maggie's First Game

Bucky was determined Maggie go to a game this year. We decided Saturday looked good- not to hot, not to cold. Then I looked at the rain chances. 60-70%. Hmm... it has almost never rained during a game. We took our chances. It didn't rain, while we were in the stands that is. We came out at halftime to let Maggie run, then the heavens opened and the delays came. Here are some pics of our little cheerleader.

Matching paw prints with Aunt B!

Sharing

Maggie has this sharing thing down pat- she shares everything... including her dinner. She shared that with the cat... on the table... off of her plate! The whole time, she sat there smiling and giggling, saying Moo, Moo. Needless to say- the table has been Cloroxed and the plate is in the dishwasher with extra soap. We really are clean people, I promise!

Kid Says...

Due to a lack of textbooks at the beginning of the year, our reading teacher couldn't use the book because all my kids didn't have one. She decided to read novels with the classes. Her homeroom was given the novel How to Eat Fried Worms. One of their assignments was to create a restaurant menu using worms. Keeping that in mind, along with the fact that the special bunch of children attend our school and their world view is TOTALLY different that most, she sent me this message the other day: So... I'm grading the worm menus today and I get to John Doe, and it one of his food items is Fried Worm Balls. The description of fried worm balls is.... the worms balls. I start reading this, get to worm balls- am thinking hush puppy like objects, then continue reading... no... more like Rocky Mountain Oyster!

So by six degrees, I have met Lu- she is an amazing woman who can more done in a day than I can in a week! She was given the chance to review a thermometer- after Maggie fought me today trying to take her temp.- this thermometer sounds like a perfect solution! Go check out what she has to say at Hyperactive Lu!

Bunco

We have a group from school that gets together once a month to play Bunco. We start with dinner and adult beverages and then let the dice fly. This is year 4 of playing and Bucky has now labeled it my monthly contribution to my coworkers because I NEVER win! Once again tonight I lost out on being the biggest loser (which gets you money) by 1 loss. Ugh.... If you have never played you need to learn how- it takes NO skill whatsoever! You throw the dice and hope it lands on what you need. Bunco's happen when you get 3 of whatever you need. It is a great time and I look forward to my monthly free time. Google it and you will find a ton of stuff out there. It is great to play at family events/holidays.
