P.A.T.

When Pat has a new patient, he introduces himself like this "HI! My name is Pat and I am going to be your therapist. That is P.A.T...it stands for Pain And Torture." It is great to see the eyes of the newcomer get rather large and wary. He does explain that he really doesn't inflict any pain, he leaves that up to themselves!

PAT is training for the upcoming Crater Lake Marathon. And has ran himself out of one pair of running shoes already. So before Father's Day we went down to the shoe store to try on a pair of Nike AirMax 360. He loved them, but the major down fall to the shoe was that they were University of Oregon Green and Silver.

Sorry but a hard, fast Beaver fan was not going to wear Duck colors.

Then I remembered that I had a 20% off coupon for online orders. Home we went and PAT went to work finding his perfect shoe!

This is what he came up with....


And of course they are Oregon State Black and Orange!

We've been TP'd!

Though, done by amature's they did manage to get it pretty high up in our tree! I was actually quite glad to see it. I did enough TPing in my day and was glad to see it was our turn!

Lena was barking at something around 2am, not serious barking or I'm sure I would have checked it out, just a couple of yips otherwise maybe it would have been worse!


No one has fessed up yet, but I am sure it was some of Morgan's friends.

Note to self: Talk Pat into getting that tree cut down...it looks pathetic!

Graduation!

This week has busy for the boys and not necessarily busy by means of school work. Morgan had finals on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday his school had their 'rewards party' for those kids who didn't have any detentions and Thursday there will be a school dance and BBQ.

Lucas had a field day on Monday. Tuesday was a pool party and BBQ.

Wednesday was 6th grade graduation and a 6th grade party after school.

Thursday will be the school BBQ.

Tell me...Why can't school finish up at the end of May? I can quite honestly say that they really haven't done any true school work for almost 2 weeks.

Morgan wasn't able to go go to his reward party because he got a detention last week. For talking. Which is no surprise, but...he has been talking all year. The teacher even said so, on every one of his progress notes and report cards. So why a detention now?

So instead of sitting at school, watching TV and doing crossword puzzles in class, I made him perform community service and serve punch at Lucas' graduation.


He had a great time, I think he would even say so.

Morgan especially can't turn down a beautiful brunette with big brown eyes!
