O.K. we went to Eugene this week-end. Such a great time but we are tired. Ben was installing a french drain for his Grandma's house (his Mom's Mom, Roberta....the kids call her Grandma Berta =). LOTS of back breaking work. Lots of concern on my part that he was working himself too hard. Lots of concern on his part that the job was taking longer than expected, hoping we were all happy. Whew. Both Ben and I are exhausted!!! Thanks Babe.
What beverage is essential for hard labor?
Why Starbucks of course!
We're having Thanksgiving at our house this year. I'll make the pies, rolls, drinks and, of course, cook the Bird (I thought the poor turkey deserved a capital. Here Birdy, Birdy! Good meat.).
We had our parent teacher conferences this week. I loved them. It totally helps pin-point issues and helps us (parents and teachers) work together to get results. YAY!
High points: Es's teacher said that she is very respectful and polite. She makes sure she is inclusive to other students and is just pleasant. =D Nice to hear! And Sam's teacher said "I know Sam works hard to follow the family values you have established. When he's presented with a easier choice that goes against what his values are, he chooses your family values even though they might be more difficult. =D Wow. Double wow, considering I'm not sure if his teacher is a Christian. His teacher did work hard to make sure he didn't make any reference to God.....it is public school after all. The Twins are doing well. It was hard to cram both of their meetings into the 1/2 hr. slot though. They are working hard to keep their mischievousness in check..... ;D They both spell at a first grade, ninth month level. She was impressed with that.
Tonight, Zach was still hungry after he'd eaten his treat and asked if he could drink a V-8. He wants more veggies??? "Sure" we say and he excitedly pops the top of one. A while later he's still sitting at the table 'drinking' his juice. Both Ben and I look over and he says "It tastes different than last time." I probably say that if I'd just had some candy too! Needless to say, he didn't finish his precious drink. I couldn't help but laugh. How can you not laugh at that expression?
Makes me what to have a V-8.....

Yes, you will not only feel caught up, but BE caught up someday! God knows when! My, that was a big Eugene job. I'm sure he was wondering if he bit off more than he could chew! Good school report all around! Yeaaa! That's a great pix of Zach with his V-8! :)
