This week was red ribbon week at school. That means (for those who don't know) that the kids make pledges and do silly things to show that they wont do drugs, i.e. PJ day, silly hat day, school spirit day, red T-shirt day. Andy decided to wear his "family camp" shirt. For two days he sang, "The big red t-shirt stands for the Barnard Family, hoorah." He was so proud of his red shirt. I met with his teacher today -- he's doing really well. The funny thing is that his meds make him REALLY OCD -- I wonder where he got that from!?! So he spends a lot of time focused on things that just aren't really that important... Like getting nails out of walls... He's a little crazy.

Jaxson did his "Unusual Pet Show" today. Most of the kids made unusual pets, like dragons, unicorns, a liger (lion/tiger), and a cheetah/giraffe. Jaxson picked a bat because people don't have bats as pets unless they're Batman and since Jaxson is closely related to Batman, he needed a pet bat. But his bat was brown, not black, because some bats are brown, that's why they're unusual. He's cute. They sang some songs and showed us around the classroom. He was very proud and very excited to have me there. His teacher commented on how well he has been behaving lately -- no warnings even! Unfortunately, I think Jaxson inherited the Beard singing gene instead of the Barnard one. He sang as loud as he could, little angel, but he was so off key :)

I spilled Dr. Pepper all over my car yesterday. I stopped too fast and my 44 oz drink smashed into the dashboard and all over the floor. Guess what I get to spend ALL DAY doing tomorrow?? Serves me right for drinking that much soda. And my ipod broke! How does anyone survive without their ipod? I can't make it. My mom keeps telling me to wait until Christmas but I think I might die before then especially since my favorite time to have music on all the time is at Christmas time. I think I'm going to have to use one of my teller bonuses to get a new one. Life should have a soundtrack and my ipod totally holds the soundtrack to mine. The worst part is that I get a song stuck in my head and I can't get it out becuase it's ON MY IPOD!! I hate electronics.
