CHP Academy Day 79/187 More Pumpkins

Today was not that interesting of a day.  This morning we were running late, but I got them to school on time.  H had her little shindig at school today.  It was super cute! They showed us what they had learned in sign language and about the life cycle of an apple tree.  They sang songs and showed us their art work, mostly apple stuff.  I brought H home after school, so she did not get to go to Kids Care, and she was bummed.  We pay for her to go because it is actually cheaper than the gas for me to make the extra trip, but she loves it! She never wants to stop coloring the picture she is working and leave with me.  It is always "can you go get A first, then come get me," or, my favorite, "Aaawww man".  :) 

After we picked A up from school, we stopped by a local fruit stand and the girls picked out their pumpkins.  We learned that it is a lot less stressful if you get them at the fruit stand.  Quick and easy!  I jokingly told the girls that they can only pick pumpkins that they could carry... they took me seriously.  I had to repeatedly tell them that the didn't have to carry the pumpkins!  A and H picked out normal size pumpkins, but M picked out a small dinky little thing.  It only cost a dollar!  I tried to talk her into one that was a little bigger.  I am not sure if carving tools will fit, but she would not budge.  :)  So I guess pumpkin carving is on the to-do list this weekend.  We have to wait for Brian because we make a competition out of it. :)

Brian's day was better than yesterday, but busy.  PT was not that bad.  In PMA they covered the last handcuffing technique.  In range they started learning about rifles, so that was exciting.   Tomorrow the senior class has their capital run.  Brian and his fellow junior cadets get to line up, get down on their knuckles, and encourage the seniors as they run up to the gate on their way to the capital.     

Brian has liberty tomorrow evening and I will be driving up to have dinner with him.  Besides driving up to see Brian, my day should be pretty boring.  One can only hope... :)

Blessings,
