Harvest Day 2008

OK - when one of your best friends tells you "GET OUT OF BEING THE TROOP LEADER", listen. It is a ton of work. No really Kendal and I both are enjoying our Troop 206.This is our first outing to the Girl Scout Camp for Harvest Day. I think the girls all had a great time.

It's October Let's talk Fears in Life

For me, my current fears, will the right candidate get elected, will my 401 be at a negative when I wake in the morning,will one of these rather large pine trees in my backyard fall on my roof aft a bad storm. For Kendal, well it is another story. First of all, this picture has nothing to do with fears, but it is pretty scary picture so it was a must share. Her current and most prevalent fear is one from a different location. Fear of a over flowing toilet . Yes, we have gotten to the point, we are scared to put toilet paper in the commode. Flushing is out of the question, and when this necessary act is performed, plungers must be on standby. Most children of her age ask to watch movies, or go to toys r us, not my lovely daughter, she asked to purchase an extra plunger, one for each bathroom even though it would take about 30 seconds to get from one bathroom to another in the case of an emergency. One would speculate that she has experienced trauma at home in this area, but on the contrary, her experience falls from her last daycare more than 1 year prior and it is still her nightmare. Man, I'm glad I wasn't there that cleanup operation. Anyway, if Kendal comes to visit and fear is displayed with the bathroom situation, don't fret, she didn't overload your commode, but check the trash can for things that might need to be disposed of sooner than later.

Soccer game 3

This was our only night game, thank goodness. Rather difficult getting out there after work. The cute blonde is Ava Grace. Ava's brother Nye and dad are also included in some of the pictures. Again, a loss but much fun had by all. I think we did score 2 times this game, one more than last game, yeah!

Bluff Park Art Show 2008

The first Saturday in October, our neighborhood throws an art show that is a big hit in Birmingham. In these pictures Kendal and her dear friends Pace and Tru are having fun at the children's art section of the show. It was a bit crazy causing Cindy and I to get a bit frazzled, but very much enjoyed by all.
