The month of September is flying by.

*Elden had his b-day party (although his birthday was in July) this past Saturday. It was pretty crazy having 15+ kids in the pool splashing around, but it was great seeing all our old friends.

*Elden started his second week of preschool. The first week was a bit of adjustments, but today he did much better. His teacher tells me that he seems nervous and rather sit on the sideline and watch the action. But at least he didn’t cry. He did tell me that he sang the “Good Morning Song” and that the teacher has a dog.

*Brennan started his first week of homework and is quite motivated about it. Yesterday he did three pages and today he told me that he wants to go to to the library today and do more of it. So we will be heading off there in a bit, after they finish watching Blues Clues. His teacher told me that is a very good kid. I am looking forward to the first parent / teacher conference.

*Brennan really enjoys drawing pictures and then narrating stories for them. Also, he loves dinosaurs and reading Magic School Bus books. I hope the actually starts reading on his own soon, although he can read short words.

*Brennan’s has a loose tooth. He is so thrilled about and every five seconds keeps asking me when will it fall out.

*We didn’t enroll Brennan in any sports for the season. I would like to sign him up for Karate or some other sport soon. He needs to stay physically active, once the weather starts cooling down.

*I finally finished building my SFG and planted carrots, beets, romaine lettuce, and iceberg lettuce. I have some more seeds that I want to plant this week. I also hit the jackpot on where to buy seeds. Kmart has a pretty good garden section and had tons of seeds. I will probably wait though until spring to build a flower bed SFG. I do need to make another layer of the compost, which is btw doing well. But it is starting to pile up.

*I have some new fall ideas for polymer clay stuff. I do have to make some time soon to make at least one thing. I wanted to make stuff to sell, but I just don’t have the time or skill level to do it. So oh well. I guess if I can just make one thing, I will be happy. Heck,

*My classes are kicking my ass, and I can barely keep up with two classes, but I am making major efforts. My GIS professor left for two weeks to Thailand to a gems and gemological conference. How lucky is she? I couldn’t convince her to hide me in her suitcase, but she volunteered me to set up SL session for the rest of my classmates in the class, so I posted to BB to see if anyone would be interested in having a basic SL tutorial and to take a field trip to a GIS SL location. Actually I have to work on another project as well in SL creating a Machimina of the classroom experience. Also, the new president of SJSU will be making a visit in SL, so I have to plan a quick event this Friday for a cool avatar contest for his upcoming visit.

*I can’t believe that less then two months until elections and that Halloween is next month.

*Oh, I don’t know why when I hit publish, it posts two of the same posts and then if I try to delete one, both of them disappears? Oh well for now!

I would write an entry about the week, but I had done that twice this past week or so, but WordPress 2.6 is acting wonky on me and for some reason I keep accidently deleting the posts. I am so technologically illiterate.
