Maxdon: Award Winner!
http://maxdon.blogspot.com/2010/10/award-winner.html
The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Friday, October 22, 2010. Sarah started out the school year with another Character Trait Award. This time it was for self-control. And as it so happens, one of her very best friends was also recognized for exceptional self-control. Now I know why play dates with these two go so smoothly. Aren't they sweet, posing so nicely? Where is that superior self-control? Oh well, I guess they have to let loose sometimes. But why is it always with me? Posted by J Fife @ 5:16 PM.

Maxdon: South Sister
http://maxdon.blogspot.com/2010/09/south-sister.html
The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Thursday, October 14, 2010. Finally got around to checking an activity off of my to-do list. No, not shampooing the carpet. That is still left unchecked. And might remain that way forever. What I did is I finally summited the third highest peak in Oregon, a once active volcano known as South Sister. I did this with two other women, two other POWERFUL women. But the views were worth the effort. Middle Sister and North Sister are pictured here:. Who Writes This Stuff?

Maxdon: Gators - 2010
http://maxdon.blogspot.com/2010/10/gators-2010.html
The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Tuesday, October 05, 2010. I haven't visited this place in a long time. Truthfully, I had a moment of panic this morning when I wondered if this blog was gone, deleted due to my lack of activity. To my relief it was still here, memories preserved. So I don't even know where to begin. A lot has happened since I last updated WAY back in March. And I'm glad that I did. Her team is called the Gators. And she is LOVING it! Go little Gator, Go!

Maxdon: First Ski of the Season
http://maxdon.blogspot.com/2010/10/first-ski-of-season.html
The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. First Ski of the Season. So, yesterday I made good on my word, packed up my x-country skis and headed for higher ground. Honestly, I didn't think the trails would be skiable, but I threw the skis in my car anyway. Just in case. And boy was I glad that I did. This is what I found at Meissner. So, Lola and I got to work. Wait Did I just say "so pretty" in reference to snow? And did I just have a positive experience in early season snow?

The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Pumpkin Patch with The Daisies. Sarah's Daisy troop had a field trip to a local pumpkin patch.

Maxdon: Tooth #1 Down
http://maxdon.blogspot.com/2010/03/tooth-1-down.html
The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Sarah has lost her first tooth! And all sorts of other stuff! That little tooth then went into a silver box with the words "Tooth In Here" written on it. Sarah placed the box under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy and barely slept most of the night. She was just too excited! The Tooth Fairy did not disappoint. She delivered two one dollar bills covered in glitter. Who knew a little tooth could bring so much excitement into our lives?

Maxdon: End of Soccer 2010
http://maxdon.blogspot.com/2010/12/end-of-soccer-2010.html
The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Saturday, October 30, 2010. End of Soccer 2010. The soccer season finally wrapped up! I'd call it successful all around. Of course, I'll remember the joy on Sarah's face as she raced down the field and how proud I felt when she scored a goal and blah, blah, blah. But, I'll always also remember a little girl from an opposing team. I will pound you! And the revenge will come! Yeah, that little girl will go far in life. Or the revenge will come!

Maxdon: Food Notes
http://maxdon.blogspot.com/2010/10/food-notes.html
The Official Guide to So-So Parenting. Thursday, October 21, 2010. Just found a note that Sarah wrote sometime this summer. It's a menu for the week. When she wrote it, she let us each pick a dinner for a different night of the week. She had been complaining that she never got to choose what we had for dinner and wanted to take a little control but still be fair. How many kids are asking for that on their dream menu? 1) Potatoes on Wednesday (Sarah's choice). 2) Tacos on Thursday (Dad's choice). A Place ...
