August/September

Spencer started preschool at Boise Cooperative Preschool.He goes 3 days a week for 3 hours a day.This preschool keeps a low monthly tuition rate because the teacher is the only paid staff member. The board members are all volunteer, and the parents are required to volunteer twice a month.In addition to the low monthly rate, spencer recieved a "half" scholarship, so his monthly tuition rate is cut in half.Can't beat $42.50 a month for preschool!! Even not cutting the cost in half is a good price. It has been an adjustment for him, he really likes his teacher and his friends there, but doesn't love that he HAS to go every other day. He would prefer it be optional. Had we started him in kindergarten this year, he would have had a rude awakening.

After Scott brought us back from Louisiana, he had to go back for a few months. He returned to Louisiana on August 1 and came back to Boise on October 5...and October 5 was the day Spence broke his arm...trampoline. He didn't fall off, just landed weird after he was bounced.

He had a soft cast with a sling, then five days later got his hard cast. Thankfully he did not have to have surgery, even though he did completely break both his radius and ulna. He picked an orange cast - half BSU, half Halloween. This cast goes up past his elbow,and will wear it for three weeks. Then he will get a short cast for another three weeks.It has not slowed him down at all! Literally, the evening after it happened, we drove up to McCall to visit Scott's side of the fam. It took everything we had to keep him from jumping, running, playing hard, and playing on the four-wheelers. He hasn't complained of any pain. I gave him his pain medicine just to try to slow him down.

This is the day after he broke his arm - he wasn't about to let everyone else climb and not him.

The boys have a loft bed, with a slide.We added pumpkin lantern lights to add appeal.Can't get a much cooler bed than that, and yet, they still won't sleep in it. I give up.
