Parker's Court of Honor

Tonight we had Parker's Court of Honor. He has worked hard this summer and earned 4 merit badges at scout camp. They were swimming, first aid, canoing and indian lore. He also earned his first class advancement.

Tropical Storm Fay

Thanks to Fay we did not have school on Tuesday. It actually wasn't a bad day, just some rain and a little wind. Yesterday was worse and they had school. Then I got a phone call last night from the school district saying that school was cancelled for today. Again we just had some rain and wind but not too bad. I am glad it wasn't bad but I wish the kids were in school.

First day of school

The kids had a great first day of school. Today school was cancelled because of Tropical storm Fay. So far we have had just some rain and a little wind, they said that the worst will come this afternoon.

Conner's meet your teacher day

Conner got to meet his preschool teacher today. He is so excited to go to school on Monday.

Nick Hotel

On Friday we went to the Nick Hotel here in Orlando. We had a great time. They have a cool mini waterpark at the hotel you get to meet some of the characters and even get slimed.

Monkey Joes

Yesterday we went to Monkey Joes, an indoor play place. My orthodontist had reserved the place for his patients. Yes, I am getting work done on my teeth because my teeth have moved, one of my bottom teeth is turning, and my bite is off. I had braces when I was in High School but I lost my retainer shortly after my braces were taken off. I keep biting my cheek when I eat, and it is driving me crazy. I am getting invisalign and it should only take 8 months for the treatment.

Feeding the ducks

On Wednesday I took the kids to feed the ducks, something we had been wanting to do. In the summer we have thunderstorms every afternoon, and we had to wait for one to pass so we could go. The pond is right by the church's bookstore so we went there after and bought some books for the kids and a DVD of primary songs for Conner. Conner loves to sing primary songs, he has 3 of those DVDs and he watches them over and over. He has memorized all the songs for the 2008 primary program. Last Sunday the primary chorister told me that Conner was the best singer in junior primary.
