Sage School Carnival

Friday night was Zac's school carnival.................. needless to say it say it was both successful & fun. We (Rick & Zac) made brownies for the cake walk. One of Zac's friends ended up with them which was also pretty cool. Zac's friend Kaylee went with us and the two of them ran all over the school playing the different games. Their favorite game was the bowling game, Zac said the bowling balls felt real. Zac tells me the teacher had a disco ball on her desk that was really cool when it reflected the light all over them room, she had both a plain and colored disco ball. While Kaylee & Zac were enjoying all the activities Rick & I entered the drawing fundraiser, it raises money for a schloraship in memory of one of the kindergarten teachers daughter (Zac's k-teacher as it turns out). I ended up with a Spring Creek high school goodie bag. I split it with Rick...... he got the t-shirt, I got the hoodie, he got the spirit towel & baseball hat & I got the scarf & pom poms & seat cushion........ it ended up being a pretty fair trade off except Rick thought he was going to steal the hoodie until I explained to him it was too small for him but just right for me! Zac came home on a huge sugar high that I thought was going to keep him up all night but when he crashed he crashed hard.

So Zac has been snuggling in bed with me this morning as Rick went in to work for some overtime (which we badly need right now) and he's been watching me play on facebook, he really likes my 101 collection, which is a funny collectors application. I think it really shows how much of a collector I've morphed into when I get satisfaction and joy from sending images back & forth between friends just to get all of them................... oh my.

Yesterday was a beautiful Northern Nevada fall day and the three of us went for a ride on the motorcycles. Zac had decided to grow his hair long so he could 'flip' his bangs but in the last few weeks has changed his mind again and declared it was time for a haircut. So one of our stops was the hair salon in Walmart.............. I wouldn't let them cut my hair but it's hard to screw up a little boy cut and the wait wasn't too long which was/is amazing so haircut he got................ gee a picture would probably be perfect inserted here, I guess we'll have to take one to post! He aslo added some new pokemon cards to his collection, can you believe they're popular again? I remember my nephew Ryan collecting them 10 yrs ago............... wow, the power of good marketing. It amazes me sometimes. Zac would like me to announce that he is up to 173 cards, a tin to store them in, a game mat and other assorted pokemon paraphernalia. He and his friends have fun at school playing pokemon.............. I have no idea how it's played except that the cards each have different powers & talents &................. well you know (maybe!)

So anyway Zac & I are enjoying a quiet morning hanging out waiting for football to start and missing Rick while he's at work................ how has your weekend been?
