Heathen #3's Big Week

Tuesday was his kindergarten screening. Or, as he referred to it, his "Kindergarten Interview." This required a carefully selected outfit, complete with dress shoes.

Friday night was Heathen #3's Spring Program at KIDDS Castle. Thus the pirate costume (complete with parrot, thanks to the wonderful Miss Cindy!) Again, another carefully selected outfit that included a tie! The poor child was roasting by the time the show was over.

And Saturday morning, his very first soccer game!

Golf, Beer, and a Cell Phone

What is wrong with this picture?


1. He's wearing a collared shirt.
2. He's carrying a golf bag.
3. He's wearing khakis.
4. He's the only man alive to own golf SANDALS - which he's holding in his hand.

Today, the Asst. Zookeeper had a "golf outing" for the mining company. I always love the stories that come home from these events. One day, I'm going to go hang out at the golf course and watch the fun.

This year, he sent me several text messages over the course of the day. I'm going to add them in below, along with the time they were sent. Tee time was at 1 pm.

at 4:02 pm
We played 9 holes. We have 4 guys, 2 sets of clubs, 1 baseball bat, 2 guys bleeding, and 9 more holes to go.

I responded:
So it is going well!

at 4:15 pm
Meerkat just scared off the beer girl. (I didn't respond. I was afraid to ask!)

at 4: 29 pm

And now we've flipped over a golf cart.

I responded:

You make me so proud.

When I spoke with him around 6, I learned that they had to pull one of the guys out of the ponds. Apparently, he had only brought one golf ball with him, and he was determined to take the same ball back home!
