Spirit Week : Anything But A Backpack Day ...

Anything But A Backpack Day

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02480

Last year for Anything but a Backpack day Andy took a giant inflatable treasure chest to school as a backpack. Today Andy picked something more... practical. This year Andy was helping me move all of my Transformers to be sold and noticed the old mini shopping cart that the kids had for the play kitchen. Andy tucked tha knowledge away for today to use that as their means to cart around all their books. It was a rainy day and that looks like it would be a pain in the neck to push all the way to school and back so I dropped Andy off in the morning and picked Andy up in the afternoon.

When I picked Andy up I was parked on the opposite side of the curved driveway to the school so I could look out my side window and see the kids coming out to their cars. I see Andy tearing along pushing their cart. I suddenly see Andy's legs straight up in the air. Andy had pushed the cart full tilt into a bump in the sidewalk and flipped over the handle bar of the cart. I kept scanning to see if Andy would get back up, a car was in my way. Andy did hop back up and shout that they were okay and then proceeded to lift up the cart and walk it the rest of the way to the car.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
