Today was Whitney’s first day of school. She was very excited to go to school. She had already met her teacher, so that was good. Anyway, I asked her how it went and she said she had a great time, that her teacher was very nice and that she liked school.
She doesn’t have very many kids from last year’s class in there this year, which is too bad, I guess, but she’ll be able to make some new friends. Also, she started riding the bus this year.

(Added September 3, 2006) I just figured I’d post the other spider picture. I found it on my other computer and thought it looked pretty cool.
(This is the old post, uploaded the first part of July)
This is just the first of what will probably be a few posts about my recent trip to Idaho. Although not in chronological order, this is nevertheless one of the most interesting things.
I think I got bit by a hobo spider my last night in Idaho. We were sleeping in my old room and my mom and dad’s house , which I slept in for years with no spider bites by the way.
Now I’ll admit that I didn’t actually catch the spider in the act. That is something of a problem with most reported hobo spider bites, in fact. So they are kind of blamed for any (more…)

Mason taught himself to climb the sides of doorways sometime recently. We don’t know when he learned it, we just looked over at him today and he was almost up to the ceiling. So I took a picture and video of him doing it. Towards the end he was getting pretty tired but still managed to get pretty high.
I forgot to say that in addition to his “transformer room” he also wants a “magic pole” that is invisible that he can slide down from his bed on. It would move around the room by magic to different places.
He was also sword fighting me the other day and I knocked the sword out of his hand. I ran over to it and was between him and his sword, and every time he tried to come near I tried to poke him. He crinkled his eyes like he was going to tell me I wasn’t playing fair, then it was like a lightbulb went on in his head. He ran to his room, kind of shuffled around in his closet and came out with a huge grin and this machine gun he got for his birthday, cocked it and shot at me. No, he’s never seen Indiana Jones.
