Hello...here are a couple of shots from last weekend. Now for good parenting tip #1 - race your kid on his bike with the lawn mower (Sam calls it a tractor...we'll let him have that one for now). I'm not really sure who started this...it could be either one of them and I definitely can't tell you who won; mainly because I have no idea where the finish line was (or the start line for that matter). My guess would be Sam because he did a little better on the turns...oh yeah, there were turns involved...kinda like a road course but, not quite NASCAR level. Okay, now for parenting tip #2 - Have the kid race in flip flops so he can RE-INJURE the big toe which he messed up pretty good in a previous bike riding/flip flop episode!
We made it through the first week of school with minimal drama. Jenna went to the nurse THREE times in four days....hmmmmm! She went on the FIRST day of school for a minor ankle injury...the nurse and secretary debated as to whether it was swollen or not but in the end sided with Jenna and put a band aid on the scrape (which, by the way, I could barley see). I so love her clogs! Then on Friday she got the sniffles and that was apparently just too much for her, she ended up back in class and was fine by the end of the day (apparently the chef's salad she had for lunch did wonders). She has since passed the sniffles to her brother (they really shouldn't take this sharing thing so literally). Now, she's fine and Sam's whiny....uuuugggghhhh! Let's hope for a non-eventful week two!

I love the race! The real question has nothing to do with Rick on the "tractor" or Sam in flip-flops. Did Rick have the mower deck engaged? THAT would give him a gold star in parenting! KB
