20130122 + Suspension
20130122 + Up in the am and the expected call from the Principle of D's school arrived... I had been called by the Chaperone of the Ski Club last night letting me know that D had a pocket knife with him on the trip and some girls saw him using it and reported it... By law he had to report the incident to the Principle... So this morning I got the call. D has been sentenced to 2 days of in school suspension and a Saturday School. I got my things done in the morning and then headed out to mail some packages, get a hair cut and then stop at the school to pick up D's knife and see him in solitary confinement. The Principle and I had a good conversation, he knows D and knows he is a Boy Scout and a good kid, thus the light sentencing, not the max penalty of one year of expulsion from school...
On to the bank, the gas station and tried to get a flu shot. Home and finishing off the day. Dinner with the fam and then D&I headed to a rental to change the locks but they were still there :-o Talked to D a bit about suspension... He doesn't like it... He learned his lesson and feels bad. We stopped at the Library on the way home and then finished the evening watching the TV and putting together a huge puzzle.

I got a ton of good leads and the boys got a ton of stuff too... On the way home we stopped to eat and the boys got a bit slap happy. I have to say they did great for being cooped up in the car for nearly 2 days. But they had GmaW keeping them busy: I bet she's tired tonight :-) back to the farm and with it getting dark and a descent amount of snow coming down I drug the boys out to the car and we headed home. When we got on 71S it was a parking lot... took us over 2 hours to get home.

Home and everyone back to the house. Gma&paB had some horrible luck; their brand new car had been hit by a windswept door and dented and then someone backed into it.... }:-(

J's team won!Home with a stop at Home Depot to get a replacement garbage disposal. We all had dinner together and hung out for a bit before heading to D's game. D did a lot better, was more aggressive than his first game, he even took a couple shots tonight. D's team won!

A good busy fun day!
