Keegan: Getting a haircut.  I've been wanting shorter hair for awhile.

Anjeanette: Getting my haircut.  Keegan got his cut in the morning and I went later.  Rachel told me about their conversation and how happy he seems this year.  She told me that he was polite and explained things to her patiently.  Plus, I got a great haircut!

Keegan: Ms. Willim, the English teacher,  sending a nice message to my mom about how much she enjoys having me in class. 

Anjeanette: Student Council Elections were amazing!  The candidates for president both served last year and were so upbeat and positive, that it was disappointing thinking that one of them was not going to be able to be on it this year.  Amazingly enough, they tied.  Exactly 50 percent each!  How is that possible???  But it made my day!

Update: Maybe it was knowing that I helped Noah stay as relaxed as possible after Betsy decided to stop working.  Not happy it happened, but I'm glad I was there.

Keegan: In Oral Communications, Cali told the class that if they wanted to know how to read their poem, they should have me read it.
Anjeanette: Going to the park with Noah and his daughter, Elliot.  I especially liked it when this neighborhood girl, Emily, wanted to play with us, too.  It brings back memories of when Keegan was little and I would take him to the park.

Keegan: Probably getting the chips.  So, I was going to grab Achal's chips as a joke and I kind of stuck out my hand.  As I did that someone put an unopened bag of Family Sized Lays in my hand.  I was like, Whoa Dude!  This guy is such a bro!

Anjeanette: I was reading the section in Gilgamesh wheere it talks of the tales, songs, and dances that were created to retell the story of the Battle over Humbuba.  Julia made and impromptu dance about the killing of Humbubu and the kids followed suit.  We even lined up to it.  It's the little things!

Keegan: On the way to the cross country meet in Branson, this kid took out his fake eye and showed us.  That was the best part of the day.

Anjeanette: Name tags!  The kiddos were excited about their font name tags and the other class wanted them as well!  How much fun is that?

Keegan: Reading to Kill a Mockingbird because it's a good book and being home because I just wanted to be home.
Anjeanette: Jeremy bringing me a Neanderthal eraser.  He had one for the test a week back and I got super excited about it, so he got online, ordered one and brought it to me.  Is it wrong to snuggle with an eraser?

9/23/12

Keegan: Waking up with a pancake on my chest.  I had taken 6 pancakes to my room, and woke up with 2 on my chest.  The worst part: I ate them.  They were good.

Anjeanette: On my bike ride with Britt and Kyla, we took turns berating the hills after we tackled them.  Britt and I are a little more apt to swear, but Kyla, who had intended to yell out something long and complex, rose her arm in the air and proclaimed, "I am the King of Weston Circle!"  Good times.

So, it's been a bit....  but working at making this a habit again.

Anjeanette:  Watching my son run at the Simmons CC Meet in Siloam Springs.  I had no idea how well he was doing, but could tell he was keeping up with a number of the Bentonville runners.  Yelled for him right as he needed to pick it up, and as he sprinted for the finish, I did too.  Trying to see the clock, I realized he was going to finish right about 12:00 for the 2 miler.  I 2 minute PR!

Keegan: Beating my time by 2 minutes. I felt fine, I didn't know how much more that I had, but I thought I could go a bit faster.
