The Weekly Goods, Bads, and Uglies

Good: "ALL BY MYSELF" Braydon made this lego helicopter all by himself! He is so proud of himself! I'm so happy too b/c I can retire as the designated Lego Engineer in our family.

Bad: Kole had  3 teeth pulled, we were both pretty scared.

Good: A promise to Toys R Us, after the dentist visit, and Kole was so brave. Ok, he whimpered a little bit, but who wouldn't?

Good: Ryan road his bike 12 miles to work on Bike to Work Day.  Way to go Ry!

Good: Kole's strawberries are growing in his wheelbarrow garden.

Bad:  Aren't we pathetic that our family garden is a small wheelbarrow maintained by our 9 year old?

Good: We were at Braydon's baseball game and Kole went to the conscession stand.  I told him that I didn't want anything but he wanted to get me something anyway. He came back with a bag of trail mix.  He told me that he asked the "worker" what was low fat that his mom could eat.  The worker looked at the labels of several different items and told him the trail mix would be good if his momdidn't eat the M&Ms.  (yeah right, that's the best part of trail mix)  That just reminded me of how sweet Kole can be.

Bad: We told Kole Michael Jackson died and he said, "Who is Michael Jackson?"
