In which we don't mention Bob the Tomato the canoe

Alison was recently asked if she was planning to teach a new class next semester in the same teaching co-op that she is currently teaching in. She would like to teach, however, she hasn't yet put too much thought into it, so she is now starting to try to figure out what to teach.

Mike and Rea were sick for multiple days this last week. Both of them are pretty good about wearing masks, so probably they didn't pass it on to anyone, however, it is hard to know for sure.

Some of the kids went to the Dalyas on Wednesday instead of going to nature group like usual. One can only assume that they had a fun time, however, they are not here to confirm or deny that right now.

On Friday Alison and Mike went to see The Importance of Being Earnest. The Sandy arts guild was putting it on, and they did a pretty good job of it. We really love to play and go to see it every chance that we can get, so we might not be likely to call it horrible, but that being said we still thought it was fun. 

Saturday Grandma Julie invited the kids over to go to the zoo. Mike stayed home to attempt to recover more from his sickness. The kids had a lot of fun and saw all of the animals.

Sara was called to be the class president in her young women's class, so she was set apart this Sunday.

Today, Mike did the final stage of the jury duty selection process. Without even talking to him the judge said that they had found enough jurors and he was rejected, so it was too bad that he had to wait four hours for that.

It was a mighty duel.

By -
The date was Saturday, March 24th 2012. The weather was warm - unseasonably warm - though the sky was overcast. Two ancient foes faced each other over the field of battle. What led the world to such a place? How did history choose this idyllic spacetime coordinate as the unsettling scene of what was to follow? It must have been forechosen by the threads of the fates, for no mortal could have brought it about. One contestant in this battle was a human male - young, skinny, and unassuming. The other - an abomination from the outer reaches of the imaginable, composed of metals, polyvinyl chloride, and fibrous organic substances. The battle began in the morning, and lasted into the afternoon. First the rigid shell of the monster was extracted from the earth, and then the beast was attacked in it's own territory. The stump of a tree - long dead and rotting away was destroyed in the fight as well as a trowel. Cubic feet of earth were thrown up into the air by the wild swing...

To wrestle with a goat

By -
Andrea has been enjoying the spring immensely. She loves to spend most of her time outside (she would probably spend almost all of it out there if her mother would let her). She loves to break into the goat food and feed the goats and chickens. She was digging holes under the fence (not to get through (she knows how to open the door) but to use the dirt as play goat food when we don't let her get any more real goat food) this leaves the chickens enough space to squeeze under the fence and enter into our garden area. The chickens have been laying a ton of eggs. The black and white one lays one every day and the other two lay eggs on alternating days it seems. Lala has been still producing milk in decent quantities (it is too bad that we have to dry her off when we go to Japan, but I doubt that we will be able to find someone who is willing to milk her that entire time). Clarabel is still growing it seems. We are looking at getting a stud for her so that she can start produci...

Friends

The kids just discovered stop motion animation and are making videos of their modeling clay dinosaurs. They're having fun. We have a wasp nest in our big tree in the front yard that Mike is really, really trying to figure out how to deal with before the weather warms up. It's much too high for any of the normal methods. He's thinking of shooting balls of clay at it with a slingshot to try to knock it down. This week we had CC and the kids are making friends with a new family, Will and Grace. They're nine year old twins and Timmy and Sara are having fun talking about Wings of Fire and Spirit Animals and other books with them. Tuesday the Rogers were off school, so we went with them and Grandma Julie to Thanksgiving Point all day. We did the dinosaur museum in the morning and butterflies in the afternoon. The kids got to see some new butterflies being released into the Biosphere, which was very exciting. Timmy and Gideon got separated from the rest of us in the Dinosaur M...
