Keegan: I did better than Mundo on two quizzes which I got a perfect score in both. One in Algebra II, one in AP Human Geography.

11/29/12

Keegan: I found out that with a little training,  I could survive the zombie apocalypse no problem.

Anjeanette: Sitting at home with Keegan and Noah, eating barbeque and Keegan asking questions to find the results for online quizzes about beating hoards of Kindergartners and surviving the Zombie Apocalypse.  It almost felt like a family emergency planning session!

1/28/12

Keegan: Ran for the first time as a XC group in weeks. 

Anjeanette: Running with the group.  I felt really strong and it was the first time I ever really talked to Craig.

11/27/12

I found out that the toponym test in Human Geography was only a week away. Looking forward to it.

Anjeanette: Running with Nikki in the morning.  It was cold, I didn't want to go, but it was a great run!

1/26/12

Keegan: I got to play a strange game called Trouble in Terrorist Town. Very strange.

Anjeanette: The kiddos told me that a good source was the one with the most impressive mustache.  When I told them that that meant that Mr. Willard was their Middle School Guru, they changed their tune!

11/25/12

Keegan: Playing Halo 4 for the last time before we had to return it. Where did the time go?
Anjeanette: Reading Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer for a big chunk of the day!

11/24/12

Keegan: For the first time ever I shot a handgun. I started off with a .22 but went on to a .45. I'm also a much better shot than I thought.

Anjeanette: Just a great day of firsts!  Elliot's first day ice skating.  Keegan's first day shooting a handgun (and I shot, too).  Noah's and my first fried Twinkie.  Could not have asked for a better day! (It was also the day of first library card to Bentonville Public Library and first glass recycling drop-off! Woot!  Woot!)

11/22/12

Keegan:  Being able to stay in and being able to laugh at people who had to have a big dinner when I just got to have rolls!

Anjeanette:  Ran 9 miles at Devil's Den...  beautiful sunshine and perfect temps and saw five deer bound across the path....  and then Thanksgiving dinner at the station with Noah.

11/21/12

Keegan: Renting Halo 4 and finding out that you can find out where items are available on Redbox and you can hold them!

Anjeanette:  Going to Lincoln with Noah.  Daniel Day Lewis was perfect as Lincoln.  What an amazing actor!

11/20/12

Keegan:  It was Thanksgiving with my family.  Thanksgiving is always good because I get food.  Stuffing!!!

Anjeanette:  The trip to Eureka Springs.  Even though Quigley Castle was closed, we saw the Thorncrown Chapel and climbed a tower from which we could see Jesus.  Seriously!

11/19/12

Keegan: I got to play Halo 4 early in the morning and late at night. I pwnd some n00bs.


Anjeanette: Speed work tonight.  Even though family was here, Keegan wanted to go to speed.  I had a hard, fast workout and got to chat with friends.  Pretty awesome!

11/18/12

Keegan: We cleaned all day after we went to the square to get food.

Anjeanette: Biking to the square and having crepes with the boy (due to serendipitously longer hours!).  

11/17/12

Keegan: I went to Geek day at the Rogers Public Library. I was just short of paid to play minecraft all day.

11/16/12

Keegan: I did my Algebra test today and it was pretty easy.

Anjeanette: I got some Christmas shopping done after work.  Gotta love that!

11/15/12

Keegan: It was relieving to finally have a Biology test done that I had not had time to do since the day of which was also the day of Conference.

Anjeanette:  I put the kids PhotoPeaches on a google map so they could see where they were geographically which felt good!  And the 6th grade was so excited about the Reader's theater of the Impeachment.  So happy about that!  Filming tomorrow!

11/14/12

Keegan: Today Coach told me that I am a lot like the number three runner in the state. Both in academics, athletics, and just plain old personality.
Anjeanette: It was the 80s day at the Middle School and we had a skating outing.  The kids just seemed to have such a great time.  What a nice last week before Thanksgiving Break!  (And Keegan's message from his coach is steering him towards XC next year.  That would make my week!)

11/13./12

Keegan: Making fun of Justin Beiber in Oral Comm.

Anjeanette:  Mary Kim brought me the green dress!  It will be worn this Thursday!  How thoughtful!

11/11/12

Keegan: I got to stay home most of the day and just wallow in happiness.
Anjeanette: Not sure if it was getting to go to the Hip Opener due to Whitney's headache or hanging out with Noah afterward.  I been in a poor mood, but things got so much better.  He was silly sleepy and so much fun!

11/12/12

Keegan: Going to speed.  Mike is going to make a workout for me so I can train for running 400s.

Anjeanette: When in study hall, Aaron just said: I wish you were one of those lazy teachers.  Oddly, it made me feel pretty good!

11/6/12

Keegan: The watch party at school with the Young Democrats.

Anjeanette: Listening to the returns come in on NPR at the table with my son.  Once Ohio went for Obama it was over!  It was nice having that moment with Keegan.  And then being super happy when Noah came over.

11/10/12

Keegan: Getting to sleep most of the day after pulling a vicious all-nighter.
Anjeanette: Hanging out with Karsten and Keegan. Between our stops at the mustache (and other stores) and swinging, I had a great time with my favorite boys. Then hanging with Kyla and having pizza was a great ending.

11/9/12

Keegan: Going to the birthday party
Anjeanette: Sip n' Stretch with the girls. I'm so lucky to have a great group of girls.

11/8/12

11/4/12

Keegan: Dinner and going to see Shrek!  My favorite was the cross-dressing wolf!

Anjeanette: Having a night out with my son.  We had a great time at dinner and he's the perfect age for an off-color funny musical.  I loved Lord Farquad.  So inappropriate, but so funny!

11/3/12

Keegan: Playing X-Box with Kosmo.

Anjeanette: Going with Noah to vote.  Of course it's a secret ballot, but I trust he voted wisely.  ( I voted last Saturday!)

11/2/12

Keegan: Got to see Alex at First Friday then went home with him. Good day in general.

Anjeanette: My son told me about how he got in trouble in Science even though he didn't do anything.  He told the teacher that two other kids were not involved, but didn't say a word about himself, thinking one of the other two would vouch for him.  They did not.  So he's going to just do the assignment.  I am very proud of him.  This is what a good man does.  Sticks up for the guys and is willing to take the heat.  How did I get so lucky?

11/1/12

Keegan: In Science Maharshi started packing up early and Mr. Chester told him that class wasn't over yet.  When the bell rang, Maharshi said, "See ya!" and Mr. Chester told him to come back.  Mr. Chester told Mahashi that he couldn't leave until everyone from class had left.  So Alex and I took our time.  We walked out slowly and Maharshi ran past me when I was in the doorway.  I said I wasn't technically out of class yet, so Mr. Chester called him back.  I stopped to tie my shoe and just as I was leaving, another girl came back in.  Tag team.

Anjeanette: My run with Nikki this morning.  We weren't planning on doing a tempo run, but we just kept getting faster.  Made me feel like my training is going really well.  :)

10/31/12

Keegan: Halloween!

Anjeanette: My son's costume was really awesome.  Love that kid's creativity!
