We decided to take it out for a spin. I never really had a great appreciation for these old muscle cars until we got a couple of them to work on. I can now see how they can cast a spell over a "mannish" heart. This thing sounds sweet and runs with the power not fond in most cars now-a-days. The other car he has is a Dodge Charger 440 six pack. The numbers don't match like they do on this one but hopefully I can make a video of it so you can dig it's beauty as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6Ev_d-PZ2Ig/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Ev_d-PZ2Ig?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Ev_d-PZ2Ig?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div align="center"><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have to say, after visiting the Firestation in Hoover, that the Firestation Russell went to was a LOT bigger, more modern, and (most importantly) had 2 working Firemen Poles. It was a gorgeous day and as you will see the boys got to experience a lot of neat things during their visit.</span><br />

</tbody></table>Ya see, I have never seemed to have been able to get enough air through my nose and on top of that my body has suffered from chronic sinus problems. Now we know why, the septum was not just deviated but blocking one nostril entirely! This caused the sinuses not to drain at all causing infections which lead to bronchitis, and contributing to sever sleep apnea. Through the direction of Dr. Ledet, Dr.Pittcock of Mobile, AL was able to correct the septum and properly clean out polyps in the sinuses. So that got me off my feet for a week. The other issue of a root canal awaited me for next week. This was a problem that I knew about having to address but now forced my attention. Not getting my high enough dose of pain for the week I guess the root canal was moved up to Friday at my request. I'm good to go now folks! Back to work for me! Oh TRIPLE JOY!!!<br />

To be honest, as a dad I'm not up to speed with it yet but it looks like I'll be taking her to her meetings at the "li-berry" on Thursday nights. This is really a big deal if you think about her being in a scouting organizations. Of course, she is bound to one up everyone with her mad camping skillz from going with the boys on their scout family trips!

Lil P had her 1st birthday, worked at my office with my boys, church, Scout master Kim still on task (as anyhting else), and I went on a ghost hunt at a new location. All the info and pic along with some video of all of it and from above this week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Which is a kind of a "meet your teacher" kind of a thing. It also is a time to pick up last minute items like PE uniforms, sign up for Boy Scouts, PTO stuff, etc. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It was so chaotic but we made it to all the classrooms and the kids got to see all the friends from last year and see who was in the classrooms for this year.</span></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Aaron was excited to see he sits right up front and Russell is sitting in the last row of his class next to some of his old classmates. Miriam is more in the middle but could careless about the whole having to sit thing. Kindergarten, as always, will be an interesting year for her and for us. Sigh.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">School starts on Monday for the boys and Miriam has "testing". Her first official day is Friday. Not sure what the boys are thinking, really. Not sure it has actually sunk in. Russell, though, has already informed his teacher and the teacher's aid that his Birthday is coming up. :)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am excited for this year for them...second year at SDS...Russell is trying Football and will start Tiger Cubs...Aaron and I will be starting the Bear Trail in Cub Scouts (help! I am a Senior Girl Scout we made pot holders!)...and Miriam will be in Ballet/Tap/Jazz and [may be] starting Daisy's</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: purple;">.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Phew, I am pooped already! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Never mind, Jason will be ending one quarter and starting another this Fall at ITT and I will be starting my Fall Semester at Bishop State Community College. What were we thinking?! My poor mom!! She is AWESOME and I thank God EVERY DAY for my parent's help.</span></span></div>The Fostershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00359356336422123330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561909742370594619.post-48650252315269688052011-08-12T17:06:00.000-07:002011-08-12T17:06:37.095-07:00A Real Man's Sport...wait.<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love Soccer! So anytime my babies want to play soccer, I am VERY supportive. Our Eldest started last Wednesday on a 3rd and 4th grade Boy Team. He is very excited to be out there, even though it is hot as all get out!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">They do NOT practice as hard as the football teams and wear a lot less, so Aaron was very "ok" with his decision to be playing soccer. :)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Not sure where they will put him yet...had him in goalie for a brief scrimmage with the Girls Team on Wednesday and he likes playing there (less running) :)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">[And no comment about playing girls, either!] </span></span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Break out the Bubble Wrap!! :)</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Russell has decided he wanted to try his hand at playing Football, instead of playing soccer again this season. At SDS the 1st and 2nd graders play on blended teams and the 1st grade year is more of the fundamental learning year. The games will be 8-on-8 and since there are already a lot of 2nd graders on the team game time play for the 1st graders will be limited. Which is why I have no problem letting R. play this year. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>So no Bubble Wrap required. :)</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia;">Here are a few pictures Jason shot at R's first practice. R. was playing catch up with the others, as he missed the first week of "Conditioning", but he seemed to get the hang of it...or at least the hang of the "attitude." :)</span></div><br />

This has actually worked out a lot better then I had thought because Miriam "read" her book to anyone she saw or to herself a million times. It was an easy reader with only a handful of words but to M. it was an accomplishment and we were very proud of her for wanting to "read" her story to us. She cried when we had to return it.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia;"> by Jacqueline K. Ogburn and Illustrated by Marjorie A. Priceman (picture provided by amazon.com). It was a really fun book to read and at the end it had a recipe for one of Miss Cora Lee Merriweather's famous Chocolate Cakes. So...as a fun treat and extension of his book we made the cake.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia;">Russell had fun...though he was disappointed we could not make it look exactly like one of Miss Cora Lee's cakes, I think he was happy just the same.</span><br />

It was a horrible, but Miriam was great! It was horrible, because the whole thing was just so "messy" and unrehearsed. It was painful to watch the so called "Stars" (because they had been there for 5 years) get up there and dance a dance that they really did not know. Miriam's group...was the best, along with others in the same age group because what they did was expected and developmentally appropriate for them. Miriam had fun and that is really all that matters.
