Please help Alan's School

We were unsuccessful in getting the new playground equipment at Alan's school because the cut off for commenting came too fast. The PTO is trying to get the hamburger helper grant again and we need all the comments we can get by the end of the month. Please take the time to fill in as they acutally had to close the playground for a couple days to remove some unsafe building equipment that was left there!!! Here is the info I received from our PTO. Please let me know if you have any problems with the site.

Also keep saving the box tops from your groceries, kleenex, toilet paper. . . . each one is worth 10 cents for Alan's school and they often have contests for the kids and the class that turns in the most. Our current contest ends Feb. 22nd and we will save what we get after that date for the next contest. Alan has already turned in 60 box tops and he can spot them a mile away. He gets so excited to save the points from his school and would love to get them in the mail from you. Post a comment with your email if you need our address.

Thanks,
Amy

New House Pictures

I posted pictures of the new house on Picasa today.  You can click  HERE  to see them.  We unloaded 12,000lbs and returned the truck today.  Daniel reports to work at 6:30am and the boys and I will be cleaning, unpacking and sorting.  They are scheduled to deliver the appliances and install the security system as well.

ARRRRR!! Ahoy Matey!

I am long over due in this post as it's been 2 weeks ago already!! We took Alan's best buddy Aidan and his family on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise to celebrate all our August birthdays this year. The cruise was a BLAST!! It's family oriented and jam packed with activities for the kids. They start off in the red circle on the main deck for a safety talk about running and all the normal safety stuff. Then they give them all squirt guns and anyone on the main deck is fair game for the water gun fight. Then they have the kids swab the deck with child size mops. Then they take them into the dungeon to tell them a story about a treasure buried at sea. When they come up from the dungeon we all have to look for the "X" bouy. Then one of the pirate crew gets them all lined up with a rope and they have to pull the chest up out of the water. Everyone gets some of the treasure to take home. One of the last activities was getting pirate tatoos. Here is Alan aka Captain

Raingutter Regatta

This year Alan is a Tiger Cub in scouts!! Yesterday we had our first big scouting event, the Raingutter Regatta. The boys sand and paint their own boats and race them down a raingutter filled with water. They blow behind their sails through a straw to make the boats go. Eddie is having a rough time feeling left out because you have to be in first grade to be a scout. We got him a kit to build the boat with Alan to be a pretend scout. Here Eddie and Alan are doing the sanding. Alan is doing more sanding here. Next comes the painting. Alan chose to use 3 colors which requires a lot of time waiting for paint to dry!! While we waited for the paint to dry Alan decorated his sail with some retired scouting stamps in Mommy's office. Here is Alan with his completed boat. He named it "The Promise" because we were learning the Cub Scout Promise on the way to the race preparing for next week's meeting. Alan and Daddy registering for the race. They let Eddie have is own pr
