Colm’s new favorite game is Ratuki. Let me just say, before you play, make sure everyone has clipped their fingernails because it can get pretty fast and furious, especially if you have more than three people playing. I think I gouged poor Liam today.

The boys’ TKD school had a fundraiser for the local school district this morning. They each had the opportunity to collect pledges (either a pledge per board or a flat pledge) and then break up to ten boards. Colm broke all ten boards and he even broke two boards at once a couple of times…he thought he was pretty hot stuff. 🙂 In all, he raised over $300. Not bad. (Thanks to the grandparents for the pledges.)
Let’s just say it pays to be a member of REI. Woot! 🙂
Our poor pup is getting old. His hips are bad and he lays around a lot, so I thought I would get him a bed so he’d be more comfy. He loves it and sleeps there every night now. 🙂
I didn’t know quite what to expect when I went to this meeting. I have never been to a meeting like this before, but I thought it was important to go and at least listen since there’s a lot at stake this year…chopping the custodians and the librarians. Eeek! I am so glad I went and I wish I would have brought the boys so they could have seen and heard the emotion of those who were brave enough to get up in front of the microphone so that their side of the story could be heard. There were teachers, librarians, custodians, parents, teachers and community members who got a chance to speak tonight. It was hard not to get a little teary-eyed over the whole thing…so much at stake for both our children and those whose jobs are on the line.
