fabulous friday
filled with sun & fun
& special traditional sugar treats
the story behind nathans photo above:
when we moved to texas the boys had a new test to take
on an annual basis called the TAKS test.
as a motivator many years ago, i said as
a joke -
"get a 100 and i'll buy you a 6 pack, a snack and a pack of sugar gum"
well, you can guess what happened that first
year with justin...a tradition began!
what an inexpensive tradition too.
and the payout continues.
heres what nathan picked out today.
it will take him all of may to eat, drink & chew his special treats.
will keep you posted.

fabulous friday continues.
fun photo below.
the story behind this picture of colin.
colins football coaches decided instead of having practice
tonight, to have a party instead!
and what a party 4 coaches can throw.
nothing like hosting 10 second graders
at gattiland
on a busy friday night.
colin came home with a smile on his face,
a bracelet depleted of funds and
pockets overflowing with treats.
without being prompted,
colin set up for the traditional blog photo shoot -
yikes, i've trained them well!
-
our day started off with steve & i going to
school to watch nathans last day as anchor on the morning news &
our day ended with us all watching the longest yard
with adam sandler.
our a. sandler movie marathon continues.
happy weekend.
