It's Back....................

What back you say??? The screaming delirium that is Michigan football. As I type Joe is emitting high pitch screaming noises. I myself am not a fan but he has enough for both of us.

We volunteered at Arts Beats and Eats this weekend on the Green Team. We spent our time as trash directors. It was fairly long and painful but it was for a great cause. The folks who put this festival together sure work hard at it. This was the first year for the Green Team but I think it went well. They were trying to get a 95% efficiency rate but I think even 50% saves a ton. They have forks that are potato based that break down in 45 days! It is something ridiculous like 200 years for a regular plastic fork. Joe stayed home on Saturday with the kids but Sam, Kristie and I returned for our second shift.

It's time for back to school again. We went to open house last Wednesday and met the teachers. Pierce has a lot of male teachers this year and I think that will help him. He also has an odd class list that includes Quiz Bowl, Book Club, Horticulture and Viking Lore. Welcome to sixth grade. Kyle will be in Mrs Plewka's class. She seems to be very nice.

Hi! Michigan football was on here too. It is starting to feel like football weather up here. I'm glad Pierce has some men teachers. They relate better to boys and make the classes more interesting for them. Kyle will have a good year. Enjoy what is left of the week-end.
