Kindergarten Roundup

Gavin had Kindergarten registration in the River Falls school District today. He said, "Mom, I'm nervous". But he did really well. I was afraid that he wouldn't answer any of their questions, but he did. The kindergarten teacher came back and said that he did really well and he's ready for kindergarten. She asked him to draw a picture of himself and he drew a box first and then drew a picture in it. She said she has never seen that before. Well leave it up to Gavin to be different.
We have been contemplating whether to send him to River Falls or Hudson. He got accepted to Hudson with open enrollment. But he would have to be driven everyday if he went to Hudson since we are out of district. But if we sent him to Hudson, we would be on the same school schedule. I just don't know what to do. I am leaning toward sending him to River Falls.

Minong

Here is a link to a blog that someone wrote about Minong. Interesting.....

Spring is here.

It is going to be a busy spring for us here. Max is continuing with the sales and it is going well, just extremely busy. On Friday, someone ran into the back of the trailer while he was on his way home from a sale. So now, we have to deal with that and get that fixed. Luckily, there wasn't too much damage. The person at fault had a lot more damage than we did.

Today, Gavin decided that he needed a haircut and chopped the front of his hair. I was NOT happy with him. Here is a picture of him after he gave himself a haircut AND another after I had to take him in to get it straightened out. It is very short now. He is making a face in the first picture because he knew he was in big trouble and didn't want to get his picture taken.

Here are a couple of pictures of Gavin riding his bike out in the driveway today. It was really nice out today, almost 70 degrees. He put a 2x4 over a puddle and was riding over it and trying to do tricks. He was pretty proud of himself, so I got the camera. He thought that I was going to take a picture of him, he didn't know that I was taking a video of him. Watch the video below. It was pretty funny. Gavin likes to watch it over and over. He has watched it about 15 times already.

March so far.....

Well, we have made it through the first two weeks of operating the business. We are putting in a lot of hours right now, but we hope that once we get organized, that we will not be spending every waking minute on the business. We think that we have our computer issues solved (Thanks John!!). Everything will be easier once I am done with school for the year. Then I will be able to help out a little more. I still haven't gotten a picture of the mobile store/ trailer, but once I do, I will put it up for everyone to see. Max is busy building again out there. He ripped out the counter and built a new one last weekend and he wasn't happy with it so he ripped out the new one and is putting in yet another counter this weekend.
Gavin is out enjoying the warm weather and playing in the mud. He is looking forward to being able to play outside more now.
As for me, I am looking forward to summer and concert season. Jolynn and I went and saw one of our favorite bands a couple of weeks ago (Locash Cowboys). We are looking forward to seeing Keith Urban in May. Can't wait.

Here are a couple of pictures of me with the Locash Cowboys (Chris and Preston).

Scrubs Direct

We are on our way to our first sale as Scrubs Direct. We got the trailer ready in the past couple of days and we are on our way. Thanks Angie and Adam for helping us hang up a ton of uniforms. We just stopped at a gas station and checked the back of the trailer and found out that a whole lot of uniforms fell off of the rack. This is very bad news since we spent about 14 hours yesterday hanging them. I sure hope that we will have enough time to get everything done. We are a couple of hours away from the site and will still need to re-hang the items and price them. I will let you know how it goes! Hopefully we have time to sleep tonight.
