Good Weekend
This whole blog is a Family Update: Yesterday we went to the zoo. We have not been there in awhile and they have gotten two giraffes, a male( cannot remember his name) and a female named Zuri not to be confused with Suri born to TomKat although the giraffe is just as cute. The best part was when we were all looking for the badger and the four year old was the one who saw him first and said, "There he is!" and the badger came out of the log and waddled down to the water. I was glad he got to spot an animal first.
Today we went to church and indicated in the sign in book that we would like to join. The four year old sat in church with us the whole time and did fairly well. Then we went on a shopping spree and bought some summer clothes during which we got a call from the sister-in-law who then met us for lunch. She has Oobi along (her hand she had surgery is in a constant puppet formation which is why I call it Oobi, a well known children's show that is primarily human hands).
Tonight we get to check the rocks in the rock tumbler to see how they are doing. They have been going around and around for two weeks.This may seem dull to you but we have been waiting forever it seems.
Tomorrow is a test to see if the four year old learned anything since his last school experience. He wrote an apology to the teachers and lost a few privilidges which he will get back when he does well in school again. Thanks to all who wrote and reminded me he is only four.
Have a good one!

I am so glad to hear that you have had a good weekend with the kids and it sounds like your son made out just fine. The apology thing is good, I hope you have better luck this week.
BTW, we got a rock tumbler for the boys at Christmas and I have been avoiding starting it, because we have constantly been somewhere but I think that may be a project for this week.
The weekend sounded like fun. We have not been to the zoo, but they have shows where the zoo is featured.
Uncle Elmer had a rock tumbler and made some great things. That's Pete's great uncle. Maybe uncle Pete can make something for Pat's boys.
I am glad you had a nice weekend. I love giraffes. What the heck is a rock tumbler? Is it something you can actually make rocks with?
Mimi,
A rock tumbler is a small machine about the size of a loaf a bread and it comes as a kit. You put rocks in it and clean them for like a month. The tumbler goes around and around like a cement mixer and makes the rocks all shiny and pretty. You wouldn't think it would be that cool, but some rocks turn out beautiful.The kits run around $25 and come with rocks and all the cleaning stuff you need. You have to have patience and also put it in a place where the noise won't bother anyone although we have it in the bathroom between the kids rooms and I think it helps them to fall asleep at night!
