Primary update

I spent around 20 minutes distracting one of the more "energetic" kids by playing rock, paper, scissors. I did in fact play for 20 straight minutes. It was great. This kid is creative, I love him. He just can't sit still. Which he admitted to me in tears.
Just so you know for the next you play
1. Hurricane loses to volcano
2. Million missiles will beat bottomless pit
3. His rock can crush through any paper, including bond paper.
4. Mom beats everything.
5. and most important is that you have to know how to use your hands to make a simile of these items. It's not always easy and sometimes makes your hands hurt afterward. But when you get a 5 year old kid to admit you beat him...well that makes it all worth it.
for the record I have won 3 times to his 79.
Not much else of interest is going on. I continue to kick butt in school. Erin's boss, who is a psycologist, continues to tell her that she "just has to become a therapist, she is too gifted not too." I will take the credit for this. My multiple problems give her an endless source of practice and different diagnosis to work with.

haha Spencer... you need to post more often. You crack me up every single time! It takes a talented guy to play rock/paper/scissors (hurricane, tornado, etc) with a 5 year old for 20 minutes. Good job! Tell Erin I miss her :) Come visit us in St. Louis
