Quiet Week

Today we finally got Aidan's picture taken for his season pass at the ski area.  Lessons start this week; we'll have to wait and see how he does.  We know that he won't be taking the bus with the other kids-he still won't ride the bus-and that he does want to learn to ski or snowboard, but that he doesn't want to ride a lift.  So time will tell.

His school is also holding the first day of a two day H1N1 clinic for all the students and I signed him up to get the shot.  Another wait and see event-he has had several shots already this year and wants to know if he can just stay home from school on that day.  So if he panics, the shot will be off. 

Both of these scenes would be looking toward our house.

I was home Wednesday with a migraine that started Tuesday and still hasn't gone completely.  Probably a combination of the stress of returning to school after break (I never sleep well on Sunday nights anyway), having no heat in my room (literally) for the first two days, and all of the smells nearby (kids are painting murals in the hall near my room and I'm allergic to acrylic compound vapors).  So it was a quiet week.

Aidan is very creative; here he is wearing a fu man chu mustache made of dental floss.

Did you watch Fat Albert?  I told Aidan that he looked like the boy on that show who always wore a jacket that was too long.  He said he wants a jacket just like Daddy.
