Ryan's School

Ryan's school had a demonstration day today where we get to see what
he does at school.

Here he is showing Colvin how to polish glass.

School

This is my favorite art work Ryan has brought home from school. Of course, he insists on giving it away to some friends :(

He passed!

Dan was studying hard throughout the entire month of October (his birthday month) for the Series 7. I was sad that we weren't able to celebrate like u would have wanted, but he passed right before his birthday and we couldn't be more proud. Great job daddy!

It happened

I have been waiting for the moment when one of my kids will stick something into an orifice on their body and it would get stuck. Tonight was the night. I was cooking dinner and the kids were busying themselves with little projects around the house...lately they have not been too interested in playing with their toys so Ryan was using the stud finder and Colvin was dumping tic tacs all over the floor and putting them back into their rightful container one at a time (I'm sure you see where this is going). Right as dinner is about ready, she comes to me sobbing saying that her nose hurts. She tells me she put one up there, but I look and don't see anything so I figure it fell out but that some of the cinnamon flavoring rubbed off into her nose and it's probably burning. I rinse her off and she claims it feels better so we sit down to eat. About halfway through dinner she pulls a tic tac (about 1/3 of it's original size) out of her nose and gives it to me. That's one fresh smelling nostril she has now! At least she stuck something up there that dissolves...otherwise, the broccoli/pea/etc would still be up there!! My kids are trained well that they aren't allowed to eat candy, but I never said anything about keeping it out of their nose/ears/etc. Guess that's my fault!

Cupcakes

Today Ryan was excited that I washed his "cupcakes" (he told me this while patting his chest). I could not figure out what he was talking about. He got me with it again...waffle shirts.
