I didn't have a tie dyed shirt, so I wore my normal Friday Metzler shirt.  That was okay, as most kids don't wear what they are asked to wear on these special weeks.  I did four days this week, just not today.

The school owed me a purple spirit stick for my $10 contribution to the Pennies for Leukemia fund raiser.  I really didn't expect they would remember and give it to me, but today Mrs. Cat said she had been given the spirit stick for me.   If I turned in coins, they would not go towards a spirit stick, but if I gave paper bills I would earn one, so Barbara and I counted out my coins.  Total $8:50.  I swapped with Barbara.  I gave her the coins, she gave me a $10 bill.  I do like my spirit sticks.

We have a new fund raiser going on now to raise money for my school. We are going to have a fun run Feb 24th and I am taking pledges for the number of laps I run.  I think most of my family will give a flat amount.

 I am coloring this picture and will enter it in an art competition at school.

I should have known when I jumped off the bus to have an answer for the this:   What good thing happened today?  Well, I forgot and I couldn't think but I did have this to say:   Addy was sent to the principals office TWICE today.  And G Washington's wife's name was Martha and Abe Lincoln's wife's name was Nancy.   President's Day is Monday, so we have been talking about presidents.

I rode bikes with Cole.  We cleaned our bikes too.  Maybe I am taking after Papa and Andy and think I have to wash my car every week.  Cole's mom just finished nursing school and she has a job, so she and Cole are moving to an apartment, but he will be riding the bus, so he will still be around.   I'm very happy about that.  Anthony and Alyssa are going to after school care since their dad is now working in the construction inspection field.  He is a retired NYC policeman.

I rarely want to eat after school, but today around 4:50pm I decided I wanted some scrambled eggs with hot sauce on them.  After I finished eating, I started to put the hot sauce in the refrigerator, but GGM said to just put it on the counter and she would put it away when she put up the eggs and milk.  Well, then we had some excitement.  GGM hit the hot sauce bottle with the milk jug and we had a big puddle of hot sauce and broken glass on the kitchen floor.  Barbara didn't think to take a picture since we were on our way out the door to meet my dad.  I guess I should have put the hot sauce in the refrigerator... then that would not have happened!   Accidents happen sometimes.   It was all cleaned up by the time Barbara got home.

We met my dad at Sprout's at 5:30pm. 
I had started a drawing at school but had not finished it, so I took the picture and some markers over to Daddy's and I worked on it tonight.
