Calvin & Hobbes


All of Jake's class decorated paper stockings by drawing cute little of Christmas trees, reindeer, and Santa. Here's Jake's:

Note:
1 - Dad is safe inside, barely sticking his head out the door to watch the onslaught.
2 - Afton is stuck in a snow pile up to her waist and I'm pulling her out.
3 - I'm getting pelted with snowballs.
4 - There are more snowballs in the fortress.
5 - Santa is watching...from the rooftop. Jake better watch out!

We were in t-shirts at a comfortable 76 degrees a few days ago when we went to Six Flags! The kids are both expecting snow for Christmas since it happened last year. I'm not sure if Santa can deliver on that wish.

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
