it is Shannon, right now I'm more
about spending the $$ for something that I already know
The good news is that our doctor called back and gave me a script for her over the phone
Bad news, she still has a fever and feels bad
The sad news is that she will be missing her first school year concert tonight and Community dinner at her school
But the last bit of Molly news is that she was placed BACK into advanced math. Last year she tested just below the cut off (handwriting issues on the test) and she got placed down in math, but she is one of the bright students so it really was a case of not reading what was best for the student. She has endured 6 weeks of average math class (BORING) and now has to suffer thru a schedule change of her core(english and social studies) teacher. She is happy about the harder math class, but we are all bummed that she has to re-learn a new core teacher
I sure need a huge farm now.

The more the merrier; the only thing that changes is whether I want to use the good china or not since it hand wash.
It was an open house and there were tons of activities to do! They had a small camper set up outside to look like a miniature home that kids can go into and learn about fire safety. Like there was a kitchen set up with a bunch of fire hazards that the kids had to look for. Then they fill the place up with fake smoke, the alarm goes off, and they have to practice crawling through the bedroom below the smoke, feeling for the window, figuring out how to get the window open, and climb out the window and down a small ladder. Tyler loved it so much, he went through twice. There was an area set up with a fake wooden house and fire hoses so you could spray the house, pretending to put out a fire. Tyler's sprayed real fire hoses a ton of time, so it wasn't a priority for him, but still fun. There were a bunch of areas set up inside, each table had stuff to give to the kids (they were given a bag on the way in to collect goodies): pencils, coloring books about fire safety, candy, stickers, bracelets, lots more I can't remember. There was a display set up to try to get more people to volunteer for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) where you attend classes and become able to assist police and firefighters. There was a mascot walking around, I think his name is Fire Pup, there was a small firetruck with another mascot called Sparky driving around (remote control driven by a hidden firefighter) and he would talk and interact with the kids. Cookies, apple cider, a kids' version of a competition firefighters do, of course all kinds of vehicles to see and get inside (police car, police motorcycle, and the usual fire trucks and ambulance and boat). There was another area outside where you could put out a small fire with a fire extinguisher! That was AWESOME! Not so fun when a little kid accidentally had the extinguisher pointed the wrong way and sprayed me & Tyler. 
see you over on part 15.
