poston s 2006 kazakhstan trip poston s 2006 kazakhstan trip the journey of our family friday december 12 2008 in the throes of the holidays by mcp we are indeed in the throes of annual holiday traditions from the usual such as trimming the tree to lounging while watching rudolph on cbs even though we have the dvd it is still an event to putting a santa hat on a helpless animal ringgold s downhome christmas parade and celebration i fear that my daughter soon will feel too grown up to pose with santa i told her she could stop anytime that she wanted to but he might decide to stop believing in her as well she gladly complied with the photo shoot mac s level four holiday show mac did a great job singing dancing and xylophone playing with his class for the annual holiday show alina s class goes next week cal watched patiently and clapped for each song a good deed indeed mac s cub scout troop today went to sing holiday classics to the old folks at morning pointe convelescent home some of his friends played instruments from recorder to electric guitar unplugged posted by alison 6 55 pm 1 comments saturday november 29 2008 thanksgiving day and the last football weekend by mcp thanksgiving the kids first went with me to the poston family gathering at their aunt bunny s farm later they would go with their mother to the vaughn family thanksgiving it was a beautiful day and while alina and cal started early on the eating portion of the day mac and i spent some quality time outdoors mac is such a smart boy and a joy to be with and share deep conversations he has a remarkable take on the world we were joined by eleanor the beagle also it was my nephew sam s 28th birthday his birthday sometimes falls on thanksgiving day a medieval time was had by all on friday the kids and i headed down to athens for the last regular season football game of the season as we drove up i 85 toward athens i was looking for somewhere we could eat supper and they could burn off some energy we found it in the form of a complex off sugarloaf parkway near lawrenceville there we found a dave busters as well as a place called medieval times which turned out to be medieval dinner theatre we were seated in the red section where we would cheer on the red knight as he and his horse did sword fights and jousts to the death with the other knights and some political intrigue between the king the princess the king s brother and some beautiful and very real horses all three kids got really into it especially when they served us in the traditional fashion no utensils we drank our soup from the bowl and we each got a half a chicken to eat with no forks or knives and even some beef rib i was amazed how the atmosphere made the kids eat stuff that i could never convince them to eat anywhere else it was too dark to photograph much but here is alina who just had to turn around and look up to see the king and princess a rainy day in georgia we got an early start with cal leading the charge outside however it was pouring and all predictions said that it was going to be raining all day of course this part of georgia has been in a historic draught so you kind of feel guilty wishing it away so we decided that after a hardy breakfast we would take it on i soon realized that sitting in a wet sanford stadium was just not something i was willing to do especially with newly potty trained cal needing to go to the inadequate bathrooms all the time that place is bad enough when the floors are relatively dry we decided to soak up the atmosphere of the game just outside the staduim and around north campus and then we watched most of it in the tate center on big screen televisions where there were snacks computers for webkins and wide open spaces catching some z s most of the two and a half hour drive home was spent well in the back seat i put on some classical public radio and the rest was history it was a great weekend and i will long look forward to the next time to spend with these three posted by alison 8 40 pm 1 comments saturday november 22 2008 pre thanksgiving activities by mcp cub scout hike at the bird sanctuary mac s cub scout troup along with a few tag alongs hiked the bird sanctuary on friday it was very cold and some of the kids were still dressed from pajama day at school the kids seemed to have a great time and although it is just a mile or so from graysville i had not been to the bird sanctuary now called audubon acres in many many years mac is shown on the trail with his friends jay and gabe alina the girl of a thousand faces here is a girl who can change her appearance in a second from what i like to call the deranged rabbit to a beautiful daughter who is a big fan of miley cirus a k a hannah montana and the natives wore polka dot pillowcases and beads well that is not how history reflects the garb of the native americans who reportedly met the pilgrims on the first thanksgiving but cal s class in pre school did a pretty good job with it satisfaction after a job well done one of the best success stories of 2008 was the speedy potty training regimen that cal went through mere mention that his good friend j t was also undergoing potty training was almost enough of a motivator but the real inspiration also came in the form of the treat of a sucker after each well successful launch posted by alison 1 44 pm 0 comments monday november 17 2008 cal s third birthday weekend by mcp it just doesn t seem possible that cal is three this year his birthday fell on a sunday and we celebrated it with two parties to cover all family availability first on saturday we had a birthday party in graysville at grandmother and pa mac poston s house grandmother baked a chocolate cake and many of cal s aunts came and welcomed him to becoming a big boy technically back in kazakhstan it was already his birthday alina and mac picked up on that notion and are now ready to stretch their own birthday celebrations for thirty six to forty eight hours on sunday we had a birday party where mama s side of the family came along with our friends the edge family this cake featured spider man cal seemed very happy with his extra long extended global birthday weekend posted by alison 3 29 pm 0 comments mac s school presentation by mcp mac s class at school gave a presentation at chapel where each child made a paper leaf and wrote upon it what they were thankful for i am proud of him for being thankful for water mac is very aware of the environment and the ecological concerns that we now face back in the cottage mac shared with us some turkey candy that he made he is having a great year at school posted by alison 3 19 pm 0 comments wednesday november 05 2008 post halloween candy exchange the end of soccer and election day by mcp the post halloween candy exchange opens after the big night the kids each made a pile of their candy and the trading began cal held his own and even though at first he was a bit naive he drove his own hard bargains mac seems to favor snickers alina likes just about everything cal is all about the suckers alina s last soccer game alina celebrated with her team the lightning bolts their last game afterward alina mac and cal rode with me over to pigeon creek in fannin county to their aunt katie s cabin for supper alina and cal nodded off on the way for a good nap mac kept his attentions focused with his ds game system election day and election night november 4 2008 over the past few weeks particularly after meeting president clinton alina and mac have been extremely interested in the election even cal has joined in from time to time on the morning of november 4th 2008 everyone was quite giddy especially alina the early votes having been locked in and the final votes were cast in catoosa county at 7 00 p m the tradition of catoosa county s election night tote board was brought back with a modern electronic board the night was twenty years to the week when i celebrated my first election to the state legislature on the same grounds back then watching the votes being tallied on an old chalkboard in front of the courthouse the kids had great fun just has i have had over the past forty plus years watching the votes being tallied in downtown ringgold another generation enjoys a great american and ringgold tradition mcp posted by alison 12
