Fun stuff this weekend

#1 A had her first solids. We gave her some rice cereal... very exciting. She took it just fine and seemed to like it.



#2 Z moved into his own bedroom, which he will eventually share with A. But for now to make nap time easier we have moved A in with K and Z into his own room (sounds like I'm talking about alphabet soup). Today we put up a curtain rod in his room (as you know if you are a faithful reader of Jason's Clan that this helps my poor mislead two year old take better naps) and put K's curtains (pink) in Z's room. This is a temporary solution until we can get Z's curtains ordered. He was running around after helping Jason put up the curtains saying, "Daddy or I did it again (put up curtains)!" Or and -what's the difference.

#3 B had his swim-a-thon. He swam 133 laps and with the help of family and friends earned over $166 for his swim team. We were really proud of his swimming, he stayed strong through the whole thing. I helped keep count and it was so exciting to see him doing something he loves to help his team. He thinks that we should have swim-a-thon every 6 weeks, not for money... just for the fun of swimming 133 laps! Crazy kid! I love that kind of passion.

#4 Today we were invited to have lunch after church. Our new friends David & Renee (and their three children) treated our clan to McD's. I am so excited about this community. Even though our stay with ComChurch was short I believe that what I learned there about making myself available to meet & let others get to know me has helped me to be more open at this church. I am looking forward to having a new home church like we had with Joy and ComChurch.

#5 B saved our lives this evening. At least according to him he did. We were getting out of the van in the garage (Z with no shoes on) and suddenly B shouts, "What's that? Hey there's a scorpion." K & I immediately turned around and there is an inch long scorpion between the cars. I have to admit that I was torn between stomping on the little critter and running into the house to get a camera (My mother-in-law would be proud). I opted for the first option and gave the stinging, scary scorpion The Killer Flip-Flop Blow of Death. You'll just have to take BK & my word for it, I'm not taking a picture of the flattened carcass of said scary critter. UGH! I couldn't believe I actually saw one - don't they keep this type of thing in the zoo, preferably behind glass?!

Side note for my dear brothers: Thankfully my house is not sitting on a sink hole. I took the picture (as shown in Homeowner Pride) while doing the bare-foot-asphalt-two-step. I am afraid that I may have taken the picture in the middle of my patented hot foot double lutz as I was trying to keep from losing the skin of my delicate peds. Thanks for your concern!
