In second grade you can apply for a self manager badge.  You need to get a number of teachers to sign off and agree you can manage yourself.  All the friends got them and were so excited they wanted a picture with their first grade teacher.

Book fair time!!!!

He is always watching

Here she is with her self manager badge

I would love to know what Cole is talking about on the side lines of his basketball game.

The life

Date night.  We went to the casino for dinner--so wonderful and then some blackjack.  A really fun night

I told him this would be in the blog:)

No, I didn't forget to take off my shirt before putting on my PJ's

Art in Cole's class

We had some work done in the backyard. Cole was watching the workers and was jealous they were using a pickaxe.   

    

I started working for Otis again--after an 8 year break. I am working remote for a friend who used to work for me.  So far the job is going well.  I work a few hours before the kids get up. Then check in through out the day.  Her is my first desk set-up.

Then we moved my office into the game room. Allen found this awesome desk on FB Marketplace and it has worked out perfect,
