O Captain, My Captain

8.24.12

The child who usually has no interest at all in back-to-school related mail perked up a bit at the invitation with his name on it to become a safety. You would have thought an owl delivered it.

Official training was yesterday. And, though he was slightly disappointed that it wasn’t exactly what he was picturing (he had imagined training on fighting an evil robot by jumping over desks and pushing the teacher aside to safety), he was pretty pumped to already get put to work at new student orientation yesterday.

Check this man, out, ya’ll.

And, given how things seem to roll around here, we may just need a member of the safety squad in our own home.
He’s so proud. I’m so proud. I will curse anyone who reminds me that he is starting his last year of elementary school. Just want to make that clear.

    That’s one good-lookin’ boy you’ve got on your hands.
    So glad he’s looking forward to the new school year!

    Our daughter Kylie was on safety patrol last year and she starts 6th grade on Monday!!! Too crazy how it flies by.

    And great seeing you at the meetup last week!

    That’s looks like one cool job. You never know when someone might let a troll in the building… I think he would be the perfect guy for that kind of job!

    How in the world is she doing that?! LOL!

    Aww! I know he’ll do a great job. Handsome guy! The little koala you have has some muscles on her!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
