Happy Birthday Uncle Bo!

Happy 40th Uncle Bo! And Happy 450th, Wm. Shakespeare! But mostly, Happy Birthday Uncle Bo!

Or, as Sarah might have said when she was counting just a few weeks ago, happy thirty-tenth.

Is it true that the whole city of Chardon is having a weekend-long block party up on the square to celebrate with you?

Remember those ads in the local paper that used to say, Lordy, Lordy, Look Who's Forty!

And when forty seemed really old?

It doesn't seem so old any more, does it!

While we're remembering, how many times have you remembered today the times when someone would call you early in the morning, sing Happy Birthday to you over the phone, and then ask you to come up and open or close a window?

Anyways, Happy Birthday and Happy Engagement.

Fat

Sarah: Bris, where are you going?

Bris: To the gym, because look, I'm fat!

Sarah (brow furrows): You're not fat. You're OLD!

Bris: Haha OK Sarah!

Teacher Conferences

Mama and Papa were talking with Teacher Sasha while Sarah played nearby.

Sarah (comes over): Teacher, my papa went poopoo naked!

Sarah's Computer

Sarah made herself her own computer. This is a combination of Papa's Chromebook laptop and her desktop computer in her classroom.

Garden Drawing

Sarah drew this picture of Grandma and Grandpa's garden. When you know where to look, you can see the shovel, watermelon, and other vegetables.

Garden

Mama and the kids have planted a garden in the area in front of our house. Papa got some plant starts from Rio Salado College, and Mama got some very stinky soil from the store to make a small plot.

Included in the garden are two mystery tomatoes (they plant start people got the tomatoes mixed up so they did not know what kind they were), a jalapeno, rattlesnake watermelon, basil, Mexican chili, and chichicolites, a sort of Mexican blue berry, and mother of a thousand children (a small cactus).

Frozen

We were given a DVD of the animated Disney movie Frozen and Sarah has fallen in love with it. She sings the song, "Let it Go," over and over. This morning she was running around the house, waving her arms, and running up the stairs while listening to the song play on Mama's telephone.

Mama (laughing): Papa, in the movie the princess runs up the stairs that she makes out of ice in this part of the song so that is what Sarah is doing.

Papa (raising and waving arms in air): Yayy! Go Sarah!

Sarah (laughing and laughing)
