Weekend Of Fun!

By
We had so much fun visiting with Emily and Greg this weekend. During the day the boys went golfing, and then we all went to the beach. We had a fun adult evening out at a new restaurant in town that serves delicious food that is locally-grown and organic. Everything we ate was amazing! In the picture of Ryan and I below you can see Ryan's entree...it was called "the sword of John Adams." Hunks of steak and veggies served on an actual sword! Once the food was off the skewer, the sword kept swinging on its hinge and several of us were nearly injured. It was pretty amusing... Later we visited our favorite Irish pub downtown and heard live music and stayed up much later than what we're used to! So fun. Thanks for visiting Emily and Greg!

Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Persuasive Essays

By
My sixth grade class has been working on persuasive essays this quarter, and one of their first assignments was to write a persuasive piece on what Mr. and Mrs. Dainty should name their baby! They worked in partners, and they got to choose either a girl's name or a boy's name. Their responses were quite interesting and they have certainly given us some chuckles. Here are some of the highlights. (Spelling and grammar errors have been left in for comedic purposes.) Most Unique Supporting Details "Isabella is a perfect name because Queen Isabella helped supply Colombus for his trip across the sea. When we were younger we wished that there were famous people with our names. Many people may think Isabella is a weird name, but we think it is very beautiful." "I picked the name Tera because it is easy to spll , and Tera sownds like she will be smart like her mother. Her mother is so smarte . And she will want to be a techer like her."
