Imagination and Death

Ok so for all of you who know the imagination of little ones will understand the faze that Zackery seems to be going through. My son has decided that he is a cat/dog. I cam into the living room to find he had poured his freshy into a paper plate and then began lapping it up, turned looked up at me and mewed and than barked. Oh what the imagination of this little boy. On a sadder note, a dear friend of ours passed away this past Friday from West Nile! He had been up at Scout Camp instructing some young men on rifles when he had been bitten by the mosquito! The disease slowly ravaged his body. He's been in the hospital for over a month and on life support the last 2 weeks. Collean removed him from Life support on Friday and he was gone with in a matter of minutes. Please I urge all who enjoy the outdoors as much as my family and I do to wear bug repellent with Deet and for the young children they make a sun screen that has deet in it, so it kills two birds with one stone. Protects from the sun and from the nasty bugs. Keep your loved ones close and protected. Call me cynical, but you never know when nature will turn on you!

Tango!

This is my little tango dancer! he is such a fun little boy, there is definetly never a dull moment in our house. He's been so funny lately. Doug offered to make him carml popcorn tomarrow if he would just go to bed. Zack told Doug that he could make it himself anytime he wanted becasue it was to easy. We have been busy making ABC cards to start with him next week, get that brain going in the right diretion.

Bully On the Playground

Ok so the first week of school was a disaster for Avery! There is this little boy in his class that is a really big bully he kicks and teases to the point were kids cry. So I went to the school this morning top complain about this kind of treatment not only Avery but for all kids in general. So Mrs. Barnhouse promised to look into it. Needless to say I came home from work today to find out that Avery had been beaten up by a couple of second graders, called fatso and dummy head. So what do I do I pack the kids up in the car go back to the school to talk to the principal who was not available, so I talked to the teacher once again and she promised to get to the bottom of it. I have had a long talk with Doug and decided that if things don't improve by the end of the week, then we will talk to the principal and then if that doesn't work we will take him out of this school and send him to another one. I have a zero tolerance for bullies as should all parents. Any suggestions would be great on how to deal with the school if things should get to that!
