Crazy.

Is one word that describes this past week.
At least, it was for me.
Tyler is done with his midterms.
I still have one left to take tomorrow.
Blech.

I start my 2nd cohort/practicum next Tuesday.
It's started freaking me out.
5th graders.
4 weeks.
Lots of lessons and observations.
Stress.

But here are some happy things from this week.
We still know how to have fun even when we're busy!

Pumpkin is our neighbor's cat. He pretty much lives at our house.
He's our buddy.
Unless he spits up a hairball on my clean carpet and then he loses one of his nine lives.

We visited the airfield by Heber last weekend.
We were on our way to my old boss' cabin and we stopped to see this old WWII plane.
A piece of trivia for you- it was the first plane to ever have ejection seats!
Please also notice the plane's name- "Lumpy."
It's a classic.

And, of course, what would a week be without a silly picture of the two of us?

No worries,
Life really isn't as painful as we make it look.

I Gave The Neighbor's Cat A Bath

I really did.
His name is Pumpkin.
He spends most afternoons and evenings at our house.
He was dirty.
So I gave him a bath.
He sat still the entire time until it was time for the blow drier.
Then he was clawing under the door for any chance to get out.
Good thing his front paws are De-clawed.

Now he's nice and clean and a purring machine.
