Supposedly It's Friendly

...but I'm not so sure.

"Good game, Jason...but you cheated."

Sigh. We're still working on the good sportsmanship thing. LOL

Quite the Set Up

This kid has himself quite the set up. He's got the Wii on and is playing Swordplay. He also has on a Disney movie. Killing two birds with one stone! lol

Friday Five

Shawn has adapted to the times. Rather than a trip to Target, he now has his weekly adventure set out as driving around for "errands." First, we drove to by the beach - he doesn't want to stop, he just wants to check it out as I drive slowly by. Then we dropped off a gift. Then we headed to Starbucks drive through, where I got an ice blended drink and he got a chocolate chip cookie. lol. All was right in his world after that cookie, too. :)

Jack put together a "bag of treasures" to share with his class. It was assigned last week, so it has been sitting at his desk waiting to be shown since Sunday. The teacher had a few kids share each day, but by Friday, he lost it when he couldn't share his with the class. He didn't hear the teacher explain that they'd do more sharing next week. Poor guy. Anyway, we talked through it and he felt much better once the teacher told him he would be first to share on Monday. He can't wait!

We think we have all of Shawn's schedule finally in place. We got a little creative and moved his PE from first period, where it would likely tire him out for the rest of the day, to 7th period so he can do his PE at the end of the day. That has helped in a couple of ways because now Shawn doesn't have a 9:00 class two days a week. That makes it easier to help Jack those mornings because he has 9:00 class every morning.

All of the heat we've been experiencing has brought fires up and down the state and along most of the western coast of the country. The sky has had an orange glow to it, which makes it look a bit eerie. We don't have any fires close to us, yet we still had this as our view Thursday morning before school.

Our tomato plants are doing so well. I am able to pick quite a few each day for Shawn and I to enjoy. The other guys don't know what they're missing! :)

Peppy Peppers!

Our pepper plants have started producing like crazy!

Look at all these peppers! And this is just a small little section of the pepper section!

Internet Woes

After nearly 2 weeks without internet, it is finally fixed. The cable guy came today and changed every single connection we have from the pole outside to the modem itself. Then he changed out the modem, which makes this the 4th modem we've had in about 6 weeks. lol

But it finally works! Yay!

Water Balloon Fight!

Friendly game or death match? The verdict is out...

Rediscovered Fun

The internet has been spotty (and by spotty, I mean mostly non-existent), so we found other ways to entertain ourselves. On that note, we've rediscovered "Wii arm" after many rounds of swordplay duel. I doubt any of us will be able to do much with our very sore muscles tomorrow. LOL.

Shawn also dusted off his Wii bowling ball and managed to kick everyone's behind without even trying. It was a fun weekend!
