Weekend Notes

Calvin went to DisneyWorld!

The Madison High School Band marched down Main Street this week. 

After much begging and some threats, Calvin sent us pictures.

Nana, David, Willa, Oscar, & I made signs to wave them out of the school parking lot.

My mommy made a shirt (she is SO CUTE!!!)

The Band marches. It is named “Spirit” for Spirit of Madison.

He and his friend Spencer appear to have eaten their way through the parks.

   

Calvin in Florida: Representing Madison with Martin good looks!

And in true Calvin fashion, he slept whenever and wherever he needed.

Other things happened:

Summer Reading started at the Madison Public Library. I acted as Children’s Librarian for a week and did 9 programs and oversaw 3 volunteers. Plus kept up the semblance of being the director. I loved it until Thursday. Then I was just dead tired!

   

Willa and Oscar started a running program called Sample Strong (named after a doctor who liked to run, Dr. Sample.) Willa found a 4 leaf clover in the grass.

David ran this week too. And he looked good doing it!

Black socks and short shorts (cat noise!).

Enoch had a productive week but I got this picture of him not being productive. 

Hypatia was under his knees but as soon as I thought to snap a picture, she was gone. Stinker.

  

So I got a picture of her on the steps. And late a picture of her on my nice new couch. Stinker.

I have a Hutterite friend that I made at the library. Maryanne. She’s been inviting me to visit her colony for a while. I finally had some time this weekend. I brought Willa because she’s the same age as Maryanne’s youngest. They were awkward together—she picture below—just like real teens. 

Oscar came too. He sat in the machines in one of the manufacturing shops. The colony has every thing on sight. A large kitchen for the women to make food for everyone to eat 3 meals a day in. And shops and equipment for the men who work there.
