Chase's class at school has a new way for the boys and girls to sign in. Starting on Wednesday, they now sign their names themselves on the board, rather than moving their names from one side to the other. On Friday, a new component was added: They now have to scratch out their names in a column on the right. Evidently, it was difficult for the teachers to read the names the children had written. After Chase signed in, he and some other children went to the fish aquarium to look at the fish, and Nanaw went with them for a few minutes. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, they went to the bank where Chase got a sucker, then to Dollar Tree. Chase got a blue car and a can of blue silly string. Next, they went to Schnuck's to get the cherry chip cake and frosting mix for Mama's birthday cake, plus cherry ice cream, birthday candles and a bag of red licorice bites. When they got home, Chase sprayed silly string around Nanaw's front yard, them went into the house to play with his tablet -- that boy loves his tablet. In the evening, Mama, Daddy, Chase and Nanaw went to Hooter's for dinner. After dinner, Mama, Daddy and Chase went into Home Depot to get curtain rings for Mama's shower curtain. Nanaw waited in Daddy's truck with the motor running because it was 12 degrees outside.
