Skipping School

I've been neglecting the blog because nothing out of the ordinary has happened around here. School, homework, church, scouts... Definently not anything exciting enough to blog about.

But today! Today is something worth mentioning. Pie, Drew and Dean did not go to school/work. They went to the Giants game in San Fransisco instead!

At first I was going to say no. Because school is important and what kind of message are we sending the kids to take them out for a baseball game? And they would also miss a piano lesson. But Pie made some pretty good points:

1. We haven't seen a lot of him lately. He has been unavailable due to work and school pretty much since Mike and Joanna's wedding in July. When he is here, he is almost always plugged in to his laptop/headphones cranking out another paper. So he wanted to spend some time with them doing something really special.

2. Our kids are good students. Missing one day will not hurt them at all.

3. When is the next time the Giants will be in a penant race? (sorry to the die hards out there, just being realistic!)



And then there were 3 home runs and the Giants swept the Diamondbacks! What a great game to ditch school for!
