Payout

Time to get started

A little surprise showed up in the mail yesterday. Our very first Google check arrived. I'll snap a picture of the girls holding it and post it.

Now it's time to figure out the best way to invest the money. I guess I'll have to look into the 529 plans (I think that 's what they're called). I've also been thinking about going ahead an matching the checks as they come in. Right now that's not really a problem, $106, but hopefully it will be.

Thanks for all the support. Keep up the good work.

Time Flys

Or, I'm lazy.

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. January has seemed to fly by and I often think about posting. But thinking doing are two different things.

January has been a quite month. Emma has the girlscout cookie thing going, which ends tomorrow. She has sold over 150 boxes, with some help from the family. And Alex has started volleyball practice, which she seems to be enjoying.

Other than that and school not much else is new. I'll hopefully post more later.

Spit - Breath - Cookies

Not necessarily in that order

I played cards the other night. Played is not really the correct term. I sat at a table for a few minutes then went inside and watched TV. Anyway, before the game I was about ready to walk out the door and Emma came up to me. Looked me straight in the eye and said "Breath Check." I looked at her, shrugged my shoulders and bent down to let her check. Luckily I had just brushed my teeth so she gave me a passing grade.

Last night a rather wired Emma came in the room and said she was playing with spit. I took a look and she had worked up a rather large quantity of spit in her mouth. She then started swishing it around to, I suppose, show me how one would play with spit. I finally asked her to please play somewhere else, it was starting to gross me out.

I don't know where she comes up with this stuff.

Lastly, a FYI to all/anyone who reads the blog: The spit swishing, breath checking Emma is going to be selling Girl Scout cookies so let me know how many boxes she can hook you up with. I have no idea what all the different offerings are so if you don't have a favorite already you can ask and I'll let you know what you can get.
