An Amusing Story

Jefferson fell asleep in math class yesterday afternoon...not just a little "nod-off," but a full-on siesta! While Jefferson slumbered, his teacher, Mr. Kintz, directed the entire class to leave the room and stand in the hallway; meanwhile, he set the clock forward a couple hours to the time when school gets out. Then he came back into the room and rousted Jefferson, telling him that the school day was over that that he should probably get going now! Embarrassed Jefferson grabbed his books and rushed out into the hall, only to find all of his classmates giggling at his expense.

National Language Honor Society

Tonight Jefferson was inducted into the International Language Honor Society (Japanese). He very much enjoys the language!



This is Jefferson's sensei. He will be traveling with her and about 5 other students to Japan this summer.

A little Spring cleaning

The weather was so perfect today. We spent most of the day weeding the garden paths in preparation for new pathway chips. How about that for a pile?

Don't the new chips look great?

Chives ready to blossom:

Lettuce ready to eat:

Busy boy

This is Jackson's latest project. It might look like a catapult, but he likes to call it a Squirrel-a-pult.

While he is letting the Squirrel-a-pult concept simmer in his mind(He has already spent hours and hours on this, a few trips to the hardware store and 4 bags of concrete) he continues his quest for fallen trees.

Ahhhh Jefferson.

This is a common sight at our house:

Trilliums are up
