Megan's Stick

About a week ago we went to a Colorado College Hockey game. We've been several times because my brother has season tickets. So we went to the game last weekend against Minnesota. Each game they raffle off a hockey stick and a jersey. Megan's ticket was pulled and she won the goalie's stick that he used in an actual game. I wish I had a camera when she realized she won! It was priceless. What are we going to do with a hockey stick?? I have no idea. She's just happy she won!!

Sidney's first volleyball game...

Sidney joined the school volleyball team. They had their first game on Tuesday. They lost both matches, but she scored a point on her first serve they didn't return. (Do they call it an ace like they do in tennis?) Anyway, it was pretty fun to watch. Sid isn't too crazy about playing because this is the first time she has played and she is counting down the days till basketball. I'm making her stick it out for all 7 games so I should enjoy watching the games while it lasts!

I guess there is a bright side...

Megan's eensy weensy snow man! How cute!

The three things I hate about Colorado...

Emily, are you sure you miss it?

Happy Birthday Sidney!

Somehow my daughter turned 11 on Wednesday! I have no idea how that happened, but I guess it's only going to get worse from here! She's at the age now where she totally hates having to go to school on her birthday, but there's no changing that either! It just so happens that Wednesday was wacky clothes/hair day at school. She did have a really fun day! She got the Nintendo DS and the Zelda game that she was willing to give up every other present for, so she was a happy girl!

My funny husband

So I got up Sunday morning and got dressed for church. I wore a white long sleeved t-shirt, black vest, and khaki skirt. The next thing I know I look at Chris after he got dressed and guess what he's wearing? A white shirt, black vest, and khaki pants. He'll do that every now and then so if you ever happen to notice just remember this... I was dressed FIRST!!!

What's the point???

Today at work I had the opportunity to help a special ed. student take a test. He can read, but only very small, simple words that he can sound out. So his "regular" teacher asked me to take him out and help him with the test. So I look at it and there are three FULL pages he is expected to read and answer questions about. She told me I could read him the questions but not the text. I was stunned. So he sat and looked at three pages full of words that he couldn't read and we expected him to answer the questions? He had the same chance as a monkey to do well on this test. I just don't get it!!!
