Another day gone by...

This one just seemed to disappear!  We started off together , Elyssia took a test and got an A+.  Then Scott headed into town to meet a friend for lunch.  He forgot his cell phone, so I ended up making a last minute trip in around 4.  Thankfully there was a turkey in the oven and I had that to look forward to when I got home.  The trip to town was quite successful.  I found a console to go in the van.  Our cupholders are broken and there's not much room for holding things.  When we put them down they tend to slide under our feet.  Not a good thing.  Scott also discovered that the accessories for installing the car top carrier were not inside.  It should have been a quick pick up, but the guy had trouble finding them and it took about a half hour.  I'll put pics up when it's all installed and packed up.  Getting so excited!!!
Garrison thought it was so funny to drink out of the tiny cup.  This angle makes him look tiny:)

Kiersten making as much mess as possible with her p-butter sandwich!

Fun with a box...

G's turn!

Me two!

Not me!  I'm outta here!

Getting all our pencils sharpened for the trip.  Nothing worse than a bunch of dull pencils!

Scott teaching the kids about the wishbone.

Ready, Set, Make a Wish!

The carnage left after I took all the meat off.  Sam is one happy dog tonight!

Scott showing how David danced in the streets,  Thankfully not like in the Bible story:))).

Elyssia-Michal shaking her head in disapproval.

Garrison a.k.a. Puss in Boots

  I was really excited to find a battery pack and charger for our camera on sale for $15.  It was Kodak and I figured it was a good deal.  When I got home I tried to put it in and the battery pack was too big!  Sooo, good think Scott is going back in for a dentist appt. tomorrow.  He can return it. I was looking forward to not having to purchase more batteries, but I guess it's not to be for now.  I guess I'll have to research it a bit more before I try again.  Elyssia earned her 15th sticker today, which means the little digital camera is all hers for the trip.  She had to earn it and she did it with time to spare:).  She's very excited and it will be interesting to see the trip from her perspective.  Pictures of a foot, a nose, etc...:)  I think she'll surprise us with some good ones though.
  Now I'll leave you with Garrison's story from yesterday:

                                             "Dangerous Zoo" 
                                         
                                       By: Garrison Holloway

  Once upon a time the Uncles went to the Calgary Zoo.  While they were there a big claw came.  Uncle Preston got attacked, but Uncle Kirk grabbed the claw and ripped it off of him.  He threw it back up into space.  The Uncles played with a little baby Kiersten.  Another big claw came towards Kiersten.  Uncle Kirk stopped the claw, kicked it and stomped on it.  A third claw came towards Uncle Preston, but Uncle Kirk grabbed it and used the claw to defeat the other claws.  Then they ate cookies, bananas and had some milk to drink(apparently that's the super hero's secret to great strength).  Uncle Kirk got a star badge and became sheriff of the Calgary Zoo.  Uncle Preston was his deputy and Kiersten lived happily ever after!
