Sarah's Computer

Sarah made herself her own computer. This is a combination of Papa's Chromebook laptop and her desktop computer in her classroom.

Garden Drawing

Sarah drew this picture of Grandma and Grandpa's garden. When you know where to look, you can see the shovel, watermelon, and other vegetables.


Garden

Mama and the kids have planted a garden in the area in front of our house. Papa got some plant starts from Rio Salado College, and Mama got some very stinky soil from the store to make a small plot.

Included in the garden are two mystery tomatoes (they plant start people got the tomatoes mixed up so they did not know what kind they were), a jalapeno, rattlesnake watermelon, basil, Mexican chili, and chichicolites, a sort of Mexican blue berry, and mother of a thousand children (a small cactus).





Frozen

We were given a DVD of the animated Disney movie Frozen and Sarah has fallen in love with it. She sings the song, "Let it Go," over and over. This morning she was running around the house, waving her arms, and running up the stairs while listening to the song play on Mama's telephone.

Mama (laughing): Papa, in the movie the princess runs up the stairs that she makes out of ice in this part of the song so that is what Sarah is doing.

Papa (raising and waving arms in air): Yayy! Go Sarah!

Sarah (laughing and laughing)

Clippers Fan

Papa (at checkout counter, wearing Clippers t-shirt)

Cashier: You a Clippers fan?

Papa: Well, actually I got this shirt as a free giveaway at this place where I used to work. We got to go see the first game when Blake .. What was his name? Is he still playing with them? Yeah? Are the Clippers doing OK this year? We are in season right now? Ok. Well, anyways, the funny thing is that for the first year that my employer was sponsoring the Clippers, I actually thought that they were a farm team for the Lakers! Like, I didn't even realize that they were a real NBA team. So yeah, I don't really follow sports that much, but this was just a free t-shirt that they gave me.

Cashier: So, you always been a Clippers fan?

Papa: Yes.
