Big Girl

Claire informed me at lunch today that she doesn't like Charlie Brown and Snoopy any more...because she's a big kid. I told her that big kids were allowed to like Snoopy, but I don't know that I convinced her; she's spent all afternoon being Woody and shooting everyone with Buzz's gun!

Nightmare

Will said he had a nightmare about a baby monster. He was trying to shove a stick down it's throat but it wouldn't go. So he pushed harder and that made the monster puke up a clock. I don't know if that was a fever induced dream or if he's just got creepy things rolling around in his head, poor little sick kid!

Weekly Highlights

I was ecstatic to see Will's writing from his science class. His little hand apparently got tired because he needed a scribe, but I love that he wrote all by himself, "Monkeys groom to show they care." 

Claire's eternal ride on the carousel while waiting for our oil change...seriously it lasted for 10 minutes!

Labor Day Vacation

We went to Redding after church. We headed straight for the pool.

Monday we went to Castle Crags and enjoyed the shopping and food in Redding.

Tuesday we took advantage of being the only people around, since everyone else was back at school and work, and headed to Whiskey Town. It was perfect!

 Brad also picked up a guitar while we were there!
