On the Train!

If you haven't taken the train to Ft. Worth...it is very fun! Dano and I went with the Boy Scouts yesterday. Spent a short 3 hours in Stockyards City. Ate a great burger (what else), looked at cowboy hats and boots--didn't come home with any. The boys loved the train, especially the snack car. Great day! 

Headed South!

Daniel rode "Pecos Bill"...well, he sat on Pecos Bill!! 

Oh Joy...!

Somehow, don't ask me...the MP3 player managed to survive a good washing. I propped it up and turned the blow dryer on it for about an hour on cool. It dried out and charged and Patterson took it with him to camp. I haven't seen it since he's been home so let's all hope to heaven that it isn't in another pocket!!
Elizabeth and I had a great fun girl's night, dinner and rented a movie (a very strange movie) on Friday. Saturday we made cookies, visited with Pete-o-Pie and drove to Weatherford to take pictures of the windmills! Very fun.
Daniel survived his OA initiation....consisting of spending a "night in the woods by himself" and being "starved" (half a banana, a small box of dry cereal, half a hotdog and half a cookie for all of Saturday) and worked to death clearing brush and cleaning campsites. I am very proud that he was brave enough to do all that...not sure I would like to spend the night outside under the stars.
His dog bite is better, still ugly bruises but the wounds are filling in somewhat. He will live.
Tonight we are going to the Hornet's basketball game. We are seeing someone wonderful, but I wouldn't remember his name of course. They are playing Cleveland if that gives anyone a clue. I'm all for the cotton candy and a snowcone.

In other news...

Yes, so I found Patterson's lost MP3 player...that is the good news...well, not really. I found it in the washer when I unloaded it just now...probably dead. I'll let it dry out and try to turn it on, but I don't feel like there's much hope here. Wonder if somehow this will be my fault since I was doing the laundry....probably.

The things we do!

cucumbers and pincurls...anything for the theatre! 

GO SEE IT!! IT IS GOING TO BE GREAT! SEE ELIZABETH IN A LONG WIG AND YELLOW BOX...Oh, that is her dress . 

Friday, March 24

Spring break over...back to school and midterms (for some). The last snow of the season has come and gone, quickly. The burn ban is lifted (Yea for chimineas!). All is well in the world. Nine more weeks and we will be out of school for the summer! Can you believe it!
I've been industrious...finding lost old friends like Melanie Mosier, John O'Haver, Kevie Crossley (now married to John O'). Got some leads on some other lost friends so hopefully I will find some more of the gang. It is good to reconnect sometimes. I've been feeling the urge to do that for some reason.
Do you like this Easter season purple? My blog is blah so at least it is colorfully blah!!
Elizabeth and I are going to see "BIG BANG" tomorrow night. A musical comedy--hysterical history of the world--from creation forward (at least that's what it sounds like) I'll let you know how that goes! Anne of Green Gables opens next Thursday thru Sunday. Elizabeth's debut in a straight play (we'll hope she doesn't burst forth in song since it isn't a musical). Anyone that wants tickets should let me know or call the Mitchell Hall box office. I think we are going Saturday night (but you know I'll probably go Friday or Sunday too :).
The boys are packing up for their camping weekend. I've been to the library and the book store so if it should rain, snow, sleet or dark of night on me I have something to read! hugs.

Spring Break!!

It's Spring Break!! Hooray!! What are you doing for fun this week? We are hoping for a good zoo day and maybe a trip to the Oklahoma Museum (so my kids can meet Woody). Who knows what other mischief we will get into!! Have a great break all you kiddos (sorry Mimi).

Just for you Muff.

This is the only picture I have of her...I think she is eyeing the plate, hoping for goodies. Sadly, there aren't any goodies on that plate!! 

Just in case anyone was worrying...we survived. Mom actually put the jeep in 4 wheel drive and went to Crest just for us...well, that's her story anyway. We did notice that there is new and improved coffee brewing this morning and THAT CAT got real food from a little can! 

It's a snow day!

Ok, I broke the federal law saying that everyone will go to the grocery at the first hint of a snow flurry...I did not buy massive loads of toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, dog food, cat food or Dr. Pepper...I did not want to believe that after an entire "winter" of 50-70 degree weather that we actually might get more than a dusting... Just for the record, I was wrong. My doggies are thrilled with scrambled eggs and cheese, Bigs thinks half and half is the best. We're eating off of paper plates (I don't even have any hand washing dish soap :) and the boys are about to discover the liquid refreshment that comes out of the faucet! We will survive the ice storm of 2006 in fine form. BECAUSE, I did not violate the 2nd cardinal rule of snow forcasted ...MAKE A TRIP TO THE LIBRARY. We may have to use Kleenex in the potty...but I have books to read! Life is good on this snow day!

Here's Woody!

We visited the new Oklahoma Museum yesterday...and first thing we saw was Woody, the birthday horse, from the Foreman Scotty show!!! Very exciting, for me anyway!! 

M-e-m-r-i-e-s......

Yes, it is Foreman Scotty at the Circle 4 Ranch... 

Of course I'll be your Valentine

Just one more reason I love being a teacher... Valentine's sacks, candy, cheesy cards, and hugs! 

OUCH!

Yesterday Pete got hit by a 16 year old driver in a BIG Pickup truck... 

Pete was stopped to make a left turn; the kid was changing the channel on his radio and didn't see Pete in time to stop... Yes, Pete is OK...sore and going to the sore doctor for therapy. The car is driveable, sort of. 

It is very loud in here!!! 

Yes, he is really excited about having his picture taken... 

Here's what's happening at our house tonight...homework and practicing
