The Lunchbox

Mom said I need to update my blog...ok. So, I got a job teaching science thru the Upstate Homeschool Co-op on Mondays at Taylors First Baptist. They provide a nursery for teachers' kids, so Gavin gets to go with me. He's never stayed with anyone other than family, so I'm a little worried about how he'll do staying with people he doesn't know. I've been making a big deal out of "going to a new school with mommy". We bought him a small backpack (to put extra clothes in) and a lunchbox since he'll be eating there. We went to Target and let him pick out the lunchbox. It was quite amusing. First he picked out Shrek. I said no. I don't like Shrek. Then he picked out Scooby Doo. Now, I like Scooby Doo, but look at this lunchbox... ...it looks like a girl's lunchbox! It has flowers on it! I said no to that one too. Jason was giving me a hard time because he said, "What's the point of letting him choose if you say no to everything he picks out?" Yes..., but I couldn't believe Jason was going let his son carry a lunchbox with flowers on it...as manly-macho as he is! So we pulled down the ones that Gavin could choose from...a guided choice sounds fair. (Yes, my child is laying on the floor in the middle of the aisle. He was deep in thought.)

And then we narrowed them down to 2...

Spiderman and Toy Story.

He chose Spiderman.

~even though he knows nothing about Spiderman, and knows everything about Toy Story~

And just a little random thing...This is a squirrel that was in the ditch across from our driveway. I had to take his picture. He was munching on a cigarette butt. If you look closely, you can see it in his hands.

Delicious.
