Well, Oregon is a nice place for kids to grow up. A half inch of show fell last night and school is postponed for two hours and kindergarten is canceled. It wasn't even icy, just slush. Wade is having fun, he misses school a little.

Today Sherwin is having a Chinese New Year celebration with his bear scouts, soooo, since I helped do all the research and I will have Darian and Wade to entertain, I will be doing tiger scout activites with them celebrating a chinese new year. We will balance buckets, make hats, and eat fortune cookies.

We had excitment last sunday morning. We woke to a tree fallen just outside our bedroom window. It fell away from the house or you would have heard from us in other ways before this. It was a lovely pine tree. Darian and I counted the rings, 38 years young. It was a large tree, but with no good reason to fall over. We didn't have that much rain. I hope our luck holds out with the ceders right out the back and if they do fall while they are here I hope they fall down hill and away from the house.

Wade says, well.... mama.. uhhhuuhgh...mama I didn't want to say that. I am not telling you anything unless you erase all of that. I made a pinewood derby car. And I raced it at the pinewood derby race. It was great because I liked it. And mama was there too and I liked her. My car went great, it was the best one but it didn't go off of the track. My pinewood derby car was blue with sparkles on it and I put a red firebird on it and it was number 98, but in the race it was 1. And that's all I want to say.

  1. I'm glad that the tree didn't fall on your house and Wade, WELCOME to the blog. I liked hearing about your pinewood derby. It sounded fun- Mark and I wish we could have been there. I hope you write more stuff.
