Bungle in the Jungle

Journaling: On Thursday, July 31, 2008, Suaganash Park Play Camp put on a performance for their parents on the last day of camp. The theme was “Bungle in the Jungle. The three groups of five and six year olds each performed various jungle themed songs. Justin’s group performed ”In the Jungle.” All three groups also performed a finalie together. Justin and Liam decided to adlib the dance. It was a very cute show.

The Negotiator

Journaling: You are only five but it seems that everything is always a negotiation. You're actually pretty good at it:

-10 more minutes

-But Tigger and Chinook are going to miss me.

-After speed racer.

-Can I watch it in the morning?

-Can I have some ice cream after dinner?

-Can I be finished after I eat 5 more bites, because I’m five.?

Field of Dreams

Products: Pink Flamingo Kit by Athena/Studio Incognito, font: typewritter

Journaling: Our parish / Justin's school has only one fund raiser every year, Field of Dreams. A hug tent is erected in the field in front of the parish. Over 500 people attend. It is a night of dinner, dancing silent and live auctions. Each grade does an art project and many impressive items are donated. This year some of the main auction items included: an autographed Keith Richards guitar, an autographed Michael Jordan Basketball, A autographed photo of the Miracle Olympic US Hockey Team, tickets to all the Chicago sporting events, vacations, I-pods, principle of the day, you name it.

We reserved our table with the Ryan's, Krupp's, and Smith's. We did well with they auctions. We won Justin soccer camp, golf lessons, and a gift certificate for Lou Malnati's Pizza. The Ryan's won $1000 in split the pot, and a pirate birthday party package. The Smith's won a ceramics birthday party.

We had such a fun time dancing. We joke that their not going to let our kids go back to school there - okay we weren't that bad.

The Krupp's had visitors in town so they needed to leave early. The rest of us went to Moore after the event. We closed the bar - we really didn't need to go to the bar...

The next day we all got to get up bright and early for our kids T-ball game.

Impromtu Play Date

Journaling: When I was a kid we didn’t have play dates. Of course we were not involved in nearly as many activities. We always used to just go to the neighbors house and see if they could come out and play. It’s nice that even though times have changed we are still able to do spontaneous play dates in our neighborhood.

The Great Debate!

Journaling: March 2006 Justin used to love to argue with me over the color of my OPI nail polish. He said it was orange. I said it was red. Of course I had the upper hand of knowing the name was, “Red-y For Anything.”
