Everyone Gets A Commercial!

I couldn't let Maverick be the only McCarl running around YouTube and X10 ads. Here's my ad. I'm a cross between Chris Farley and a drunk bloated monkey. Kirsten, Lainey, and Maverick all have cameos.

First Day of School!

Today was Maverick's first day of preschool! He was so excited to go to St. Luke's afternoon preschool. This morning around 8 he was ready to go. "I'm ready to go to school and see my teachers and play with kids." Sadly Maverick had to get out of his jammies, take a bath and wait a bit before it was time to go. Below is a picture of Maverick outside our house on his first day of school. When it was time he was dragging my hand into the building as fast as possible.

Once we got in he found his name tag and ran right on in. They were singing "Five Little Monkey's Hanging From A Tree." which is one of Maverick's favorites!

I watched through the window into the classroom for about ten minutes until I realized that my little boy would be just fine. He was ready for school.

When I picked him up he told me about his day and how they read the "Kissing Hand" and he had a red popsicle. He told me that they had a prayer time and that he prayed for his kitty. I said "Which one? We have two kitties." he said "Well I prayed for Gloves." I asked him "Why didn't you pray for Rojo?" "Well he kinda gets mad and hisses at me like this..."

He also told everyone that he had one sister and two brothers. Naturally this was news to Kirsten and I. We asked him who his brothers are and he said Adrion (Friend) and Mikey (Neighbor).

Afterschool we met up with Kirsten and Grammy for a well deserved chocolate milk. A very good first day of school.
