Today was Metzler's anual Storybook Character Parade.

I wore a fireman's jacket and helmet.

Each child brought his favorite book to school and dressed as a character in the book.

My book was All Of the Bravest, which was my dad and Scott's favorite book when they were little boys.   You can see my Dad's signature on the top of the right hand page.

GGF and Barbara came to my parade.  Mommy and Daddy had to work.  Mimz had to volunteer at her hospital.  GGF had a stent put in his heart on Tuesday but he was perfectly well enough to come see me in the parade.

I came home from school saying I did great on my spelling test.  I spelled all six words correctly.  My folder was lots of classwork work:  seven 100's, one  90, and one 70.  I had a very good week at school.

My arm is hard, hot, and a little red where I got my flu shot.  It hurts if I hit it.  I bet it will be better soon. 

For Halloween I am going to be the Tin Man.  I needed a snap sewn onto it, so Barbara went through the sewing maching cabinet and finally found one "hook and eye" that she sewed onto my costume.

 I played with Cole for a couple of hours after school, then Mommy and I went over to Daddy's home.

Cole is a very good at drawing.  I need him to give me a few lessons.

 Outside we played Dodge Ball..

We like to play anything that is rough.
