100 Days, a Deer Trap, Head Casts and Other Random Stuff

<----1st day

100th day -->

Yesterday was Quinn's 100th day at school. I have made 100 lunches, and driven back and forth to school over 200 times and he has learned at least 1,000 new things and most likely many many more. He loves being a kindergartener.

Yesterday was also one of those day where all sorts of random but funny things happen.

On the way to school, we were talking about how upset we were that the deer was eating our cute little apple trees all to bits when Quinn decided he had a solution. He said "Ok, we can put a hammock between the two trees and then you can tie me and Nolan to the hammock and we will have bowls with coconuts in them. We will be really quiet and when the deer comes you and Daddy will flip us over in the hammock and we will spill the coconuts on the deer. I bet that will keep them away!" I see a few flaws in the plan but what the heck, I am sure the end result will be effective.

Tuesday is also one of the days Nolan goes to school. As we were driving to school I was encouraging him on things he could pretend that some of his other friends might know about, such as Diego the pet rescuer. When we got to school Nolan immediately informed Mrs. Cocks that he was Diego and he brought animal rescue items in his bag like "band-aids, head casts and arm casts just in case any of the animals gets hurt". How Mrs. Cocks and I kept a straight face I will never know.

At the end of the day while I was making dinner I got to the last line of my recipe and it said "let cool 10 min. before feeding to your pup". After rereading it at least 5 times I vaguely remembered reading something on Rachel Rays website about recipes for pets. Apparently this one serves a dual purpose and we should have invited our dog friends to dine with us last night. Interestingly enough, all the humans in our family loved it until they found out it was supposed to be dog food. Eating dog food does run in Jim's family (you know who you are!).

I also discovered yesterday that no matter how many applications of eye make-up remover you use it will not take away dark cicles under your eyes. Really, it doesn't!
