Worn Out

Wm is running on fumes! On Friday, he had to be at school an hour early and they drove out to Loudenville, OH to their Math teacher's 1,000+ cow dairy farm. Wm got to milk a cow, eat ice cream from the milk at the farm, bottle feed a baby cow, go hiking on the 700 acres, and made friends with a another baby cow (who he got to officially name - Polka Dot!) I guess the baby cow kept nuzzling him and mooed sadly when he left. Wm was very  moved and has decided he won't eat beef anymore (and even refused one of his favorite meals - a hamburger - that night!)  He didn't get home until nearly 5pm. And he was worn out!

When he got home, he said his neck hurt. Wm is the proud owner of his very first ever sunburn!

Red Neck Willie!

Wm also finally did his "Wonders of Ohio" presentation on Oxley Hall and it was a great success! Steve had 0 to do with it because I am in charge of the oversight of all English/Social Studies homework and projects (Steve is Math/Science). Since Prezi is online, Wm didn't take anything to school with him and just fired it up on his school ChromeBook.  We had it done well in advance, so we actually forgot which day it was until Wm came home and said he had done it. We decided to mess with Steve a bit because it's our hobby....

SUCCESS! 

Because he forgave me for evilly teasing him, Steve sent me this because it is SO SPOT ON. Loved it:

PREACH!

After the Wonders Project ("Wonders of America" happens in 4th grade and "Wonders of the World" in 5th! So more Wonders coming!) and the dairy farm trip, for some reason we decided it was a great time for Wm to have his first ever sleep over at our place last night. Wm invited his 2 best friends and we entertained them with pizza, s'mores, camp fires, throwing things off Wm's high porch, and endless video games. Suzanne came over for moral support, so that was awesome. Otherwise we would have been outnumbered. The boys built a fort in the living room to "camp" in and stayed up past midnight giggling like morons in their sleeping bags. Luckily, they were pretty quiet and Steve and I got to sleep without a problem. HOWEVER, the nerds were up and about and VERY LOUD at 6:45am. So that was not cool.  But the real victim here is Schroeder - who was at DEFCON 5 for the entire sleep over (I have been told NOT to call it a "slumber party"). We needed to clean the hell out of the house after it was (almost) empty of small beings (Wm keeps hanging around). We haven't had the heart to sweep yet because Schroeder is barely alive:

Zonked out

Dead to the world...sweeping paused.

Wm had the TIME OF HIS LIFE! I also have a feeling he is going to sleep reeeeeeally well tonight!
