Jaxon's New Pets

Here's Jaxon swimming with his new fish.

For Jaxon's birthday, he got a fish tank. We have been working on it all week. Tonight, we were able to get some fish. More fish to come. There are so many choices. He wants to get kissing fish, neon's, a snail and a plecostomus.

Student of the Month

Last week, Jaxon received the academic Student of the Month award for October. We are so proud of him. This is the picture I got of him. He was embarrassed by his Mom taking pictures of him. So I kissed him in front of his whole class. Now that's embarrassing. We also had his teacher conference on the same day. No problems with Jaxon. His teacher is challenging him and that's what we want. He is doing 4th grade math and reading at a 5th grade level. A story about mister smarty pants. In September, the class was working on subtraction and a girl in the class asked if you could subtract 6-12. Mr. C said you could not. Jaxon raised his hand and said yes you can. The answer is -6. Mr. C said you are right but that's for when you are in 5th grade. Jaxon is now known as Mr. Negative. Pretty soon, Brian and I will have to get a tutor for ourselves to help Jaxon with his homework.

The Scissor ghost

Phebe decided she needed to cut her bangs. I was thinking we were out of the woods with scissor happy hands. Guess, I was wrong. Phebe said she didn't cut her hair. She was under a spell and a ghost did it. A ghost always does something when Phebe thinks she is in trouble. Jaxon was quite happy about Phebe cutting her hair. That meant she got in trouble. I had to take Phebe into the hairdresser to get it fixed.


Before Haircut


After Haircut
She wanted to get a Tinker Bell haircut. I think she looks adorable and it fits her personality. You can't even tell she cut her bangs.

Brian's new hobby

Brian has been wanting to get a greenhouse for sometime now. His wish came true this week. He was able to put it up on Saturday with Jaxon's help. There are a few more things he needs to do with it like a door, heater, fan, and much, much, more. We're pretty excited about it. Hopefully, we'll be able to grow some plants for next year.

Halloween

Jaxon had a hard time figuring out what he wanted to be this year for Halloween. First, he wanted to be an imperial guard (Star Wars). We couldn't find a costume for it. His second choice, Greedo, the green guy Han Solo talks to in the 4Th movie at the bar. Couldn't find a costume and didn't really want to make one. His third choice as you see is Indiana Jones. He was the best Indiana we saw. Phebe was easy this year, we decided to be Fancy Nancy (Fancy Nancy is a series of books). We had a good time trying to get Phebe fancy. She was just adorable. She was the only Fancy Nancy. We had a good Halloween and it was even better that Brian was home for a few days.
