When things get busy around here, clearly something has to give and writing to the blog is one of them. \u00a0The irony is that when things are busy- there’s lots of potential material for blogging topics. \u00a0So now that I have a little time, I get to play catch-up from memory. \u00a0The flipside is perhaps the delay is a good thing. \u00a0It acts as a sort of filter where the impulse to write about every little thing gets dulled so that every<\/em> little thing doesn’t end up enshrined on a webpage.<\/p>\n

Friday was a busy day, it was the lad’s 3rd day of school, and the lass had an ice cream social at her soon to be school that night. \u00a0Personally, I had the excitement of a pending reunion of sorts along with a guaranteed Whale siting. \u00a0More on that in another post.<\/p>\n

While the lad was at school, I moved the last of our pellets from the driveway to the basement. \u00a0Took 7 trips running a wheelbarrow around back. \u00a0So the Wife setup the Lass with painting stuff down there and she was happily toiling away on a piece of parchment while I was lugging a ton of pellets from hither to yon. \u00a0I now present the following brief exchange:<\/p>\n

Lass: Dad, do you like my painting?<\/pre>\n
Me: \u00a0Yes, it's very nice and colorful. \u00a0Is it a picture of a face?<\/pre>\n
Lass: \u00a0(pause) No- it's a big blobby thing.<\/pre>\n
I certainly wasn’t in a position to confront her on that one.<\/p>\n
So it finally comes time to wait for the Lad to return on the bus. \u00a0He had fallen asleep on the ride home the previous 2 days and he made it 3 for 3 on Friday. \u00a0He’s starting to get a little upset about that and we’ll continue to finesse it with him. \u00a0I mean really, it’s barely registers on the “have-to-deal-with-this” meter and he’ll come to understand that. \u00a0I figure another couple of weeks and it won’t be an issue. \u00a0The bus driver gets a kick out of it- proudly getting to declare “He’s OUT!” to the Wife when he opens the bus door. \u00a0Naturally, the Grandparents get a kick out of it as well.<\/p>\n
The day ended with the Lass’s “ice cream social” at her new school. \u00a0Along with the ice cream she got to meet her teacher-to-be as well as meet some of her classmates-to-be. \u00a0There was music and dancing and both kids were running around with the other kids burning off the sugar-high. \u00a0The teachers and the parents got into the act with some chicken dancing and so forth. \u00a0The night conlcuded with a trip to her classroom where the main thing for the parents was learning the drop-off and the pick-up procedures while the main thing for the kids was pulling out all the toys the could in the short time that was alloted them.<\/p>\n
A good time was definitely had by all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
