First Day - Kindergarten Photos

Here are just a few photos of the first day of Kindergarten last week. Jase loves his school, class and teacher!

Not excited at all!

First Day of School

Tuesday was Jase's first day of kindergarten. He had a wonderful day. When I called him on my way home from work that night he had a wonderful description of his lunch. Below is a brief transcript...

"How was lunch today? Did you eat all of it?" - me
"YEP - I ate all my hot dog?" - Jase

"You did. Was the hot dog good?" - me
"Yep - and guess what Mom. It was a special hot dog!" - Jase

"A special hot dog?" - me
"Yes - it was an "American" hot dog" - Jase

So Main Street elementary apparently has gourmet hot dogs on the grill. At least as far as Jase is concerned they do. For all of you that have been reading my blog through the summer school craziness. Jase did fine after school. He made it to Latchkey and they didn't put him on the wrong bus (or any bus for that matter).

I have pictures, but haven't had a chance to load them. Will load soon.

Phone Power

The idea of signing a contract for items like Internet service and cell phone service has always been an issue for me. You never know what could happen in the future - so why sign something that says you will continue with a service.

Well - this slight phobia of mine was put to the test when my cell phone bit the dust. I was 15 months past the end of my current contract and had not resigned with my carrier. So Saturday was spent on the pursuit of a new phone. This isn't saying that I just started my research of new phones on Saturday. Believe me, I started researching about 2 years ago - just couldn't bit the bullet.

I am proud to say that I have moved light years forward in my cell phone "class". I didn't even have a camera phone before and now I am the proud user of a MOTO Q. Yes - I have a calendar, Internet and email all at my access (oh yeah - camera too). The Internet and email portion of this phone wasn't a real big deal to me until I realized these instances when the Internet might come in handy.

Instance #1
Driving down the road and see some storm clouds ahead. Oh - no problem let me pull up the radar online and see how bad it looks. (This is great for all weather junkies out there.)

Instance #2
Going out to eat and want to make a smart decision. Oh - no problem let me pull up WW or DWLZ and check out some points values.

So I am embracing the technology and just not thinking of the contract portion - then life is good.

Thank you to my hubby

So if you have been reading my blog for the past few weeks, you would have seen the images of Tony after his surgery. Needless to say I owe him a big thank you for not taking any photos of me while sitting in the hospital Tuesday night while getting the bump on my head examined.

Thank you Tony!

Soccer Stud

Even with the scorching temperatures of 500 degrees, we made it through the first official soccer practice. Coach P started the evening with some introductions and just kicking the ball around.

We did forget to tell the coach about Jase's competitive side. I'm sure he will figure it out.
