Beer Update

After letting Jay leave the beer on my kitchen counter to "ferment" for two weeks, it is now bottled up and sitting in the cabinet in the guest bathroom so it can "condition". It better not explode or we might have to have words.

In other news, I have a funny kid story. I have this tiny kid in my class who wrote in his journal this week the following entry:

"I am seven. On my birthday I will be eight. I will have to get a job."

So I ask him what kind of job he is thinking about getting. He replied, "I don't know, I guess I'll be a cop." This is the same kid that told me that his cat plays video games with him. Never a dull moment in the first grade.

Lazy

That's the only way to describe my Christmas break. I read four books, took two hour naps everyday, ate lots of food, and watched too much football.

It is no secret that Jay likes to drink beer. So imagine my excitement when I found the perfect Christmas gift for him. A "Mr. Beer" brew your own beer kit. I knew he would think it was cool but didn't think he would get as into it as he has. After he opened it, he carried around the instruction manual for two days showing people and reading up on it so his beer would be perfect. Since then, everytime I turn around, he is calling people telling them about his homemade brew. He's even trying to think of names so he can print up his own labels. Luckily, I am not a big fan of beer so I won't have to drink any.

Here he is hard at work with his brew.

It was nice to relax and get some rest but I am ready to get back to work tomorrow. I am sure all my little ones at school missed their teacher!
