The rules

So McCall has always been very much into making lists. When she turned 5, she had a birthday party that she pretty much planned herself. She made a list of who she wanted to invite. She made another list of the food, decorations, games, etc. She likes to have things down on paper, so there is no question as to what is going on. So with Asher being a little wild man, crawling all over the place, McCall decided that he is just a little too out of control. (Like she's one to talk) Anyway he found the curio cabinet, and has been trying desperately to get to the things inside. McCall made a list of rules for the curio cabinet and posted them right on it. (Boy that looks classy) I asked her what on earth she was doing. She explained to me the situation with Asher. So she made up a list of rules for him.

The rules read...
1. Do not tutch (I think she means touch)
2. No fingrprits (fingerprints?)
3. No scratchis (scratches)
4. No opninge (opening-Mic got her spelling skills from her mother :)
Uh, do you think that she realizes that Asher can't read yet???

Arrow of light

Austin received his arrow of light. It was really cool, our scout group does such a great job at presenting this award. He also got a Webelos super achiever award for earning all 20 activity badges. What a cool dude! Much thanks to his amazing scout leader, she kept Austin and his parents on track to make it possible!

First day of school...at last

Well the kids started school a few weeks ago. They weren't very excited about it. I sure was! Austin is in 6th grade this year. I can't believe it is his last year of Elementary school. I keep telling him that the 6th graders "rule the school" he just gets embarrassed and tells me to stop. McCall is in first grade this year. I have been really nervous about having her in school all day, but she is doing really well with it, and it has been such a nice break for Asher. She told me that the coolest thing about school is that she gets TWO recesses!
