We picked up Owen’s homework this afternoon, and he got it done in about 2 hours. He actually felt like he was getting a fever near the end, but he did everything with a smile on his face.
Shortly after, his dad came to pick him up. Even after so many years of doing this, it […]

After the FLL tours yesterday, the cold Owen’s had, which he’s had for almost 3 weeks now, went from mild to pretty bad. This morning he was hacking, coughing, sneezing and sniffing a lot. Last year he didn’t miss one day of school because of doctor visits or illnesses, but today I decided he should […]

Owen and four of his friends are preparing to compete in FIRST Lego League this November. Because of their early release, Owen’s dad helped arrange two tours for the boys related to FLL. Ed, the dad […]

Owen had a lot of homework tonight so we got to Lego League at about 5pm. Part of their models is a long, fairly complex bridge. It’s done, although it’s not lining up correctly on the Lego mat. Tonight the boys figured out the problem together and fixed it. I’d call it a successful night!

Allll four kiddos are here for the weekend. Hooray!
There was a big used Scuba equipment sale this morning at Underwater Connection in Menomonee Falls. Unfortunately, Scuba equipment shopping is pretty boring for kids. While we looked at the goods the kids goofed around (as quietly as possible), first inside the store then outside the store […]

A few days of calls, e-mails and waiting paid off. Last night GameStop sent us the code to redeem Juggernaut for the XBox 360 game Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.
After school today Owen did his homework right away, then I entered his code for him. It worked. Hooray! He’s trying him out now.
If you’re having problems […]

School (Owen), workout then work (me). Market Day afterward (yay!)
After that we came home and Owen did his homework while I made him dinner. With his homework done, and dinner eaten, Owen played his new Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 game for a short time while I made dinner for Michael and me. I’d made Owen’s […]

OK, so Owen got Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for the XBox 360 today. We pre-ordered it from GameStop, only because that is the only store that gives you an extra freebie: you get a code to unlock the big baddie Juggernaut!
But to get the code, you have to jump through some hoops, which is somewhat […]

Owen rode his bike to school for the first time today! He did a great job, and was really proud when he was parking it at the school’s bike rack.
After I dropped him off I ran from job to job, finishing just in time to pick him up at the end of the day. We […]

Good day today. Got a workout in, checked several job stops off my list this week, and Owen had a nice day at school.
After school he and I went to Kohl’s to again look for some new gym shoes. He was planning on wearing a pair his dad got them last year. This morning he […]
