Aloha day nine


Wednesday May 7

Today Jonah and Grandma worked in the yard planting strawberries and herbs. Then we pulled weeds. Jonah is very good pulling the weeds and putting them into piles. We packed a lunch and went to the greenhouse for a few minutes because we wanted to plant some things, but the greenhouse was out of potting soil. Jonah decided he wanted to stay and eat his lunch there instead of taking it back home to eat. When he was done eating he and Grandma gathered up a big load of extra plants and brought them home. Uncle Steven was there and he helped Grandma by putting another bag of soil in the van for her. On Friday, maybe we will go back to the greenhouse and plant our baskets.

When we got home, we played in the yard again and three of our back neighbor friends came over. Everyone played together for hours. When Tommy came home from school, he told us all about the tumble he took on the playground. Ouch! two big bandaids! That deserved an early call to Dad to share the pain and get a little consolation.

Grandpa came home early today so that he could take Tommy and Jonah to play with their friend Aaron when it was time for Grandma to go to her Planning Commission meeting. They had a good time. Grandma's meeting took longer than she thought it would so when she got home, everyone went to Wendy's. Chocolate Frosties, yum!

Tomorrow everyone at school is bringing an appreciation note for their teacher, so Thomas sat down and wrote a really nice note for his teacher. Grandma is sure Mrs. Nielsen will love it and he did the whole note by himself!



Jonah almost had a bad hair day today, but Grandma managed to get it under control.

I like the hair in that picture. Is that before or after your intervention? I think he can pull that off. :)

That was pre-intervention. The post intervention hair actually had a little part down the side and was slicked down for a few minutes until it dried.
