Private School "Interview"

Sean did his 1/2 day at St. James Montessori today and LOVED it. The program direct was at the front door doing pick up and said Sean is definitely in. We should see the acceptance letter next week. As expected the teachers in the elementary class loved him and he made some new friends. He won't go til the fall, but he'll do a couple weeks of camp there during the summer to make friends. They will also pair him up with a summer buddy. We're really excited for Sean.

As Promised... Sean & His First Custom Board

First Skateboard

Sean got his first custom skateboard from Zumiez today. I'll have to get pictures of him on it. He's very excited because he got to pick out everything for it and watch the guy build it.

Bad Day...

Some of you have heard the story, but for those who haven't...

Saturday was our scheduled delivery day of our new washer. Our 3rd one in 12 years... yes, I'm a little hard on washers. Our dryer has managed to last the entire 12 years (knock on wood). As with most home deliveries of large appliances there was a 4 hour window. Ours... 10-2pm. At 12:30 we get a call to advise us that the driver is running late, due to a difficult install. To shorten the story... it didn't get to the house til 6:15... PM!!!

After the fiasco, we decided to go to IHOP for dinner. We sat for what seemed like 10 minutes and 3 waiters had passed us numerous times. Nobody stopped to get our drink order. There were only about 4 other parties there. FINALLY someone comes by and since we were waiting so long we also knew what we wanted to eat. Sean finally asks, "How did they get their drinks first?" pointing to a table that was seated AFTER us... again to shorten the story. The food arrives BEFORE our drinks and Michael's order (Nutella crepes didn't have the Nutella in them... I'm guessing that was a key ingredient) was wrong. We were both irritated when Sean piped in very calmly while he continued to color... "Y'all aren't have a good day are you?"

THAT... was the highlight of my evening. I LOVE when Sean manages to make all the bad stuff easier to deal with.
