It's always something

This morning we were trying to get ready for school and they kept forgetting this or that. I told the kids they were making me crazy. At the same time, Aaron said, "I like you crazy." and Kara said, "I love crazy mama."
Wow. They couldn't have planned it better.


Also, we noticed on Aaron's papers he was adding to his name. He has put his first name and last name and "silint t" at the top of his papers.I asked why he put "silint t" at the end of his name. He said so they would know how to pronounce it because the T is silent. They will say "drool-yea" instead of "druilYET." How funny. He never ceases to surprise me.


So for first grade project this month we had to make a community helper with a coffee mate bottle they sent home. Aaron choose a fireman, since the top of the bottle was red. I think we did a pretty good job and after we got him dressed Aaron put ashes from the grill on it. Very authentic looking. He also wrote out a description of what firemen do. He told me they save people and get dirty. :)



Aaron got a sticker from school and Kara wanted it. So she was playing with it and then asked us, "Where sticker go?" This is where it went:


Then today I happened to look out the window and see something white in our yard. So I go out side and this is what I find.

The white thing next to it is a ruler just for perspective. Apparently during the little rainstorm we had last night part of our siding fell off. Now if this was the first thing I could forgive, but this is the second piece of siding that has fallen off of our house and it wasn't even raining that hard yesterday. Talk about shoddy work. So I called in a work order and they are deciding if it's worth fixing today or not. So we have our buckets ready since it is supposed to rain the next two days so our stuff won't get destroyed. So I am a bit miffed again with Picerne and the "new housing" because we haven't even been in this house six months. UGGHH. It's always something. Another view so you can see where it fell off of the house and yes those boards are not flush with each other!
