THREE

Yesterday was Family Fun Day.  Usually we have it outside and it is very nice.  We have a dance in the gym and we hire a DJ.  There is a dunk tank outside and some teachers and usually Mrs. Rodriguez get in it.  We have games all around the perimeter of the playground.  Things like fishing, golf, bowling, a cake walk, etc...  There is a large bouncy house and slide, and usually a basketball or baseball game for the older kids.  There is a popcorn machine, snow cone machine and a hotdog, chips, pop lunch.  The students are broken up into three age groups and circle through the activities.  It is a lot of fun and the kids have a blast.  This year it was pouring though so Mrs. Rodriguez had to get really creative.  She put the blow up stuff in the gym and the dance in the media center, which is in the middle of the school.  The activities and food were spread out around the first and second floors.  The dunk tank was outside under the awning.  She did a great job having everything ready.  The kids really had fun, but the music was SO loud that the windows in our room were rattling for 4 hours.  I walked around with kleenex in my ears.  For all of us being stuffed inside the school I think it went really well though.  We were all beat. 

After work we took Tali to get her ears pierced.  The lady did a nice job and they are perfectly centered.  Tali was really brave.  She yelled out the first time.  I don't think she understood how much it would hurt even though I told her.  She didn't cry though.  Much better than me!  I fainted when I got mine done.  We went to Moosehead for her birthday dinner.  Today we baked her cake together and she wants to decorate it tomorrow. 

Got Scout's shots taken care of today.  I didn't say anything to the Dr.  I just let it be, even though he really should be taken to task for not having Pongo's leg x-rayed.  Heading to Columbiana in about 1/2 hour to see Mark's mom and to go to a party with some of Mark's old childhood friends.
