We had Special Olympics on Sat. this was Ro's first yr. of going. he had fun and took some great pictures of my friends and Katie running.Well we don't have a plum tree anymore.. It fell down on Mon. on top of the lime tree. We had to borrow my uncle's chainsaw to cut it all the way down and into pieces.. Friday our neighbor's house got broken into so now we decided to put in an alarm system so they are coming out Tues. this week. Ever since their house was broken into and they stole about 10,000 worth of stuff I hate being home alone so we think the only way I will be able to feel safe in our home is an alarm system. I'm wondering how this week of work is going to be we have testing all week except Fri. But we have 3 min. days this week so off at 1:12 will be nice. Katie will test with her full inclusion specialist on Wed. and the rest of the days we will hang out in the Detention room and work on some fun stuff. Hopefully we won't be too bored. My Mom and I went to a Bridal Gala today at a local restaurant and we found some good ideas we are thinking maybe we should do cupcakes instead of cake. The last wedding I went to started late and we didn't finish eating dinner until 10pm. so we didn't even eat cake. So we thought maybe we could put the cupcakes in the middle of the table as a centerpiece and the people can eat there cake whenever and not have to wait for it to come out of for someone to cut it. We say some really cute daisy cupcakes today.. So lots of ideas today.
