Everything

Our Father’s Day cake (yes, we punctuate it differently from you) is a golf hole, with both a water hazard and a sand trap. She did everything except take it out of the oven all by herself.

Catchup blogging lite

It’s been an insanely busy month; I’ve not bookmarked much this time. Hell, I might even be able to categorize them for you this time around…

G bought a rocket, and with the rains we’ve had recently, we MIGHT be able to use it soon:

And since we’re going to a wedding in Houston next weekend…

I’ve made it through the 4th season, and am giving it a second go…

And to riff on that; “There’s always sysadmin bookmarks in J’s catchup blogging…”

And just a few more things:

Texas parents of students taking STAAR tests, you can track the entire history of their scores here (and I learned G’s science score before it arrived int he mail!):

A game recommented by a new work colleague, probably friend…

And G want to cook up some flan:

Remarkably few bookmarks, now with annotations! Hope you enjoy…

Feeling wistfully ambivalent…

Six years at G’s school, I’ve been in once a week to volunteer. Computer lab, math games, lego robotics league. Sometimes just to help out. It’s always been the highlight of my week.

Next week I’m in for the last time to volunteer, to help at the 5th grade business fair. She has been planning for years what to sell!

Her first day at Riverplace Elementary was the first day of Riverplace Elementary. She has been there for the entire existence of the school.

She sure is ready to move on, however. She can’t wait to be at a school where they serve soft pretzels and cheese, and slurpees every day in the cafeteria, and she can sit with all her friends any day she wants…

In the meantime, I get to feel wistful and ambivalent, remembering the first time I helped with computer lab, way back in 2007…
