So, the education fair was fun last week.  I got a picture. All the other pictures came out awful.  But here you can see his castle at least.   Our robotics team showed us a demo. They came in 3rd place and now they are going to nationals in , ummm, Georgia?  Or was it TN?

 

Anyway, funny story.  The other day, I left Samuel at the diningroom table doing his school work.  No big deal, its happened before.  When I came back to the room a few minutes later, he was no where to be found.   I found him in theother room doing this:

 He had taken his pants, and was hanging himself off the door knob.  I quietly got my camera, took a picture, and left.  Later I asked him why he was hanging off the door knob.  He looked at me with a straight face, as though I was sooo daft not to know.  He said.  " I was floating, trying to be like an austronaut."  

Okay.

And in my last post I put in some pictures of our beagles.  Well here is our Leonberger, Shelby.  We got her from the rescue.  She had been abused, and she was only 5 months old when we got her!!  How can anyone abuse a puppy??!?!?!  

Well, abused dogs will do one of 2 things. They will turn on you and be nasty, or they will be totally passive. Shelby is a puff.  She is a sweet dog, but looks ferocious.  When people come to the house,they are always a little nevous when they see her, because she looks like she could take off your left arm.  But then you realize she is just a moving rug.  Just lying where ever she drops.  And if you should go near her, she lifts her paws up in the air, hoping such a move will inspire you to rub her belly.  Thats her life in a nut shell.

This picture was taken last week.  Ugh.  BUT!! It was in the low 70s yesterday!!  YES!! 70s!!!! Most of the snow and ice melted.  ::sigh of relief:::  And somehow, she got that piece of firewood out there.  Probably to make the beagles jealous, since they can't move that thing. lol. 

Yup.  Its been a good week.

Wow, that's a big change from last week! It was 86 here yesterday...summer already. If you blink, you miss Spring.

That pic of him floating is hilarious! Totally reminds me of being a kid. My brother and sisters used to love to climb the walls in the hallway. When my brother was in college, he tried to relive his younger days by trying to climb the walls...oh he did it all right, and then put a big hole in the wall with his foot. Goober.

Good times, good times... :-)

We're doing well here. I guess I should update my blog on something with a little more substance sometime...but the randomn nonsense is fun sometimes, no?

Love,
Marsha
