Another trip to the Monterey Bay Acquarium. This time to see a great white shark. It is the only one in captivity. I don’t know how long it will be there, generally the great whites don’t eat while in captivity. If this one survives, it will probably get to big for the tank after a while anyway. We also made it to Dennis the Menace park again as well.
Sam’s godmother knit him a beautiful sweater with car buttons. Today it was finally cold enough here for him to wear it (over his aloha outfit – he isn’t quite familiar with the changing seasons yet). He was quite proud of it and looked very handsome.
I went to Tahoe this weekend to visit the hole. We have a pile of rocks, running water, and electricity. The forming and concrete work is supposed to start week after next. It may snow there this weekend, so we are not getting stuff done too early.
Sam’s first day of preschool was Tuesday. He had a good time. He is going 2 days a week for a few hours each time. He is supposed to be potty trained to do this, but he isn’t even close (even though his mom believes so). Today we stopped at the gas station on the way in. While I was getting gas, he peed all over himself, we had to go back home and get changed.
We just HAD to get Krispy Kreme
Bruce gave us a few more pictures of the construction on our lot in Tahoe. I think that he stood on top of some of the equipment there to try to see what some of our views may be like. These pictures are from a while back when construction had just started. We are still receiving bills, but I don’t think that the concrete work will start for a few weeks.
Margaret, Sophie, and Sam
Today, both Katy (4th) and Margaret (Kindergarten) had their first day of school. We figured out that by the time that Sam is done with this school, we will have done this 14 years in a row. Margaret had a good time, when I picked her up after school, she was most excited about the fact that she ate all of her healthy food for lunch. However, because she ate so much she didn’t have enough time to play at recess. Katy says that her favorite thing about 4th grade was getting homework.
Margaret’s first day. Sam wants to play with everything in the class.
(This was sent from my phone. Unfortunately, for some reason it didn’t arrive the first time I tried. Also, the second entry never showed up.)
