So it wasn't that soon...

I haven't been on the computer much lately, except to do the Typing Tutor I checked out from the library that I had to return today. I'm still job hunting and I really should learn to type the correct way, but I really don't think I ever will. I type pretty fast my own way, but I will fail any blindfolded test. Hmmm...

Anyhoo... here are a few pictures of Ethan's derby car. He was #7 (even though the car says 99) and he came in 7th. It was the only car with glitter. Or a Star Wars figure (the top of a Pez dispenser). Here's a side view, and a top view so you can see the flames on the hood.


This is the Hot Wheels (or maybe it's a Matchbox?) car he went off of as a model to carve it. Glen helped with the power tools, but Ethan did most of the work.


After doing that model, he was really excited to make another model, so we got this Mitchell Bomber from Hobby Lobby. We thought it would be a good starter kit, since it required no glue or paint. Well, he finished it in about 10 minutes (literally), so I think next time we'll do the glue/paint ones.


What else... Ethan stayed home today and yesterday with a fever. That was fun. Every time it would come down and he started to feel better, it would spike back up again. Our thermometer doesn't seem very accurate, so I'm never sure what the temperature really was. Hot, but not TOO hot. He enjoyed the 1am bath last night. I think he'll be OK for school tomorrow, but he may try to weasel out of it since it's PE day and he has roller skating for PE this month and he hates it. His best friend broke (twisted) his knee doing it last year, and it just freaked him out about it. Since I have no job yet, I can go volunteer to help. The PE teacher is VERY pregnant, so she can't do too much with a bunch of flailing kids falling all over the place. I speak from last year's experience.
Anything else? Our washing machine broke, so we got a new one. It is surprisingly quiet, which is quite nice since our old one would jump around during the spin cycle. I got another haircut - this has to be a record - 2 cuts within 7 months! I think the most often I usually get a cut is every 2-3 years. I absolutely hate it, so I'm glad my hair grows fast. The girl did everything I told her NOT to do. At least the grays are gone. I hope I get a job interview soon, so I want to look a little more professional than a half gray ponytail. So is it grEy or grAy. I dunno...
Last odd fact - we had to get Ethan new tennis shoes last week, and now his are almost the same size as mine. I kid you not. I shall post a side-by-side picture next time to prove it. I almost tried to put his shoes on before I realized they weren't mine. I really thought I had a few more years before this kind of thing happened.
Well, this should be good enough for now. Thanks for reading.
