Illness

Due to recent illness floating around our schools, as I put Jake to bed tonight I said, "you be sure to get some good sleep tonight because I want you to stay well." Later, Randy went in to say good night to him and Jake said, "mom said the flutes are going around. Remember last year when Bradley had the flute? I need to go to bed so I don't get the flutes dad." HA!!!

Sunday Hike

Tomorrow I am taking a personal day off from work. I was hoping to go hiking at a state park, but the forcast calls for rain all day. So....rather than hoping for good weather tomorrow I asked the boys and Randy if they wanted to hike with me today. And, they said Yes! So we all went to Lake Tawakoni State Park and went on a 3 mile trail. We had soooooo much fun and it was a BEAUTIFUL day! Bradley brought his camera...I didn't want to carry mine. I had to at least get him in one of the pictures. It's not a very good one though. The boys are looking out at the lake. Then they looked down and saw that they were standing on top of a "cave" HA! Bradley poked on the top of it with his hiking stick and when some of the top gave way he said "yep it's a bear cave Jake." Jake took off running.

Eating oranges!

Well, I almost had an easy day today. I spent the day at school doing odds and ends for teachers and for the last period of the day volunteered to fill in for the P.E. teacher while she helped some students in her room. Well....when you have to have a tornado drill for 30 minutes, while the favorable tornado conditions move through Lone Oak, the only place to evacuate the children to safety is the boys and girls restrooms. So, I got to spend 30 minutes in the nasty smelly middle school boys restroom with ten boys and another aide. Gross!!! Surely tomorrow will be better! And no, the picture above is not the actual bathroom I was in, (I don't take my camera to school) I just wanted to give your brains a visual. Too bad they haven't invented smellovision!
