Schools Back !!

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted anything on here.  Been a long busy summer with more than enough to keep me busy.  The kids are back in school, a few weeks earlier than last year.  “It’s a conspiracy !!!!  They are only allowed to miss 10 days of school a year NO exceptions and they starting sooner and getting out for summer break much later”.  At least that's what the kids tell me.  Me personally I don’t really care.  If they are in school there is less chance they will get in trouble doing something they know they shouldn’t be doing.  Let me change that, at least Sean isn’t doing something he shouldn’t be.  I’m not so sure about Brittney.  Sometimes I think she is just looking for a reason to get in trouble at school.  Speaking of Brittney, she got her first car a couple weeks ago.  She still only has her learners permit but something this next month she will be legal to drive along.  Heaven help us all!!! Michelle and I spent several days trying to find her the biggest piece of junk we could find for her first car and that was the problem.  They were all such piece of junk that there was no way I was going to through good money away.  So I had to increase the value of the car just a little.  She ended up with ‘04 Sebring.  This car is so much nicer than I wanted to get her it’s not funny.  The car is MINE until she pays for half of it and she can’t drive unless she pays the insurance on it.  Which shouldn’t be to bad if she keeps her grades up, completes Drivers Ed, and some program that state farm offers for new drivers.  All three of these programs gives her a percentage off on the premium.  Sean’s comment on the whole car thing…”Well, I guess the Mustang is mine then.”  Such a funny kid….That’s mine.. ;)

Public Safety Notice

W A R N I N G !!!

The South Dakota department of public safety has issued a travel advisory for the entire state of South Dakota with special effaces the city of Sioux Falls. They expect this warning to be extended to the upper midwest soon. Due to State legislation and currently standing laws on the books. The great state of South Dakota has seen fit to license my 14 year old daughter to drive. On Tuesday, February 10th 2009 she received her learners permit. They are contributing to my never ending supply of grey hair. Consider yourself warned that should you cross state lines you are taking your own person safety in your hands.

She didn’t find this funny….lol. Being Dad is great !!

D.T.N.T.D - Dorks That Need To Dance

I didn't name the dance team, the girls did. All though it does fit them pretty well....lol. For the last couple of months Brittney has been working on a school talent show and this last Friday they finally got to show us where all the hard work had gone. The many many hours of pratice and getting mom and dad to drive her all over the place. I don't know how she will feel about me putting it up but oh well. I'm her father and if I want to show everyone my daughter being a "Dork" well so be it then... Enjoy.

"Brittney is in blue."
