The Munsters

We were watching the old tv show, The Munsters and Dakota says, "there's a boy in my class that looks like him." I said, "looks like who?" and he said, "Frankenstein. That's his name, right?" and I said, "no, his name is Herman Munster. but the boy in your class looks like that?" and he said, "no, not really. just his hair."

Special Olympics Tennis

Dakota is in the 6th grade and goes to Pleasant Hill Middle School and they have Special Olympics events. We were so excited at the beginning of the year when they said that they would be competing in several events and that tennis was one of them. On Thursday, October 6, 2011, we went to a tennis event and while waiting his turn to play, the teacher handed him a tube to pick up tennis balls with. He looked at her with a straight face and said, "I didn't sign up for this!" His teacher thought that was so funny.
