A Fun Day at School!

Okay... I don't write about school on our blog much, but today was unique. Our school has a new behavior system called PBIS. We had a celebration today to recognize and promote the students' good choices. The school brought in six inflatables for the kids to play on and enjoy. Of course, the teachers couldn't resist and had to join in on the fun!

Mr. Fletcher......... This video is for you!

Here is a video that is also posted on my classroom blog - http://mrlund.edublogs.org

Bryce is 1!

We had a great time this weekend celebrating Bryce turning 1!

Indy Mini Marathon Countdown and Hints!

Okay Lund Runners! The countdown to the race has begun!

I like to run outside when it's not freezing cold outside (right now, we're at -3). To help me on my runs, I use mapmyrun.com to quickly and easily plan a jogging route. The site lets you click on the map to record your running route. It will automatically follow the roads or paths. The site gives you the total distance as well as mile markers for your route. If you're running outside, I would suggest you check out the site!

Thank you to Bob for posting the pictures of the route. It looks to be a fun filled jog through the ghetto of Indianapolis!

Are you getting excited yet?

Vote For Your Favorite Gingerbread House!

Melissa, Shaun and baby Bryce spent the weekend with us! It was nice to enjoy some time together. We had a very relaxing weekend filled with some fun games and good food! I've posted some of the photos of our trip to the bowling alley, making ice cream(thanks Donna!) and chocolate fondue (thanks Brian!), and the fun we enjoyed with our guests!

We spent Saturday evening making Gingerbread houses. We had planned to make them after Thanksgiving but they couldn't make it down here at that time so we pushed out construction and competition to this past weekend. At this time, we need your help to vote for your favorite house. So, please take a moment and vote! Thanks!

Amazing Dominos!

Will came by this Sunday afternoon and played with some dominos! We captured his table filling domino action and created a fun video. Will added some cool animations and effects to the video to make it even better! Cool!

Will created this amazing video! Wow! That's Amazing!

Trebuchet

For Christmas, I received a table top trebuchet. A trebuchet is similiar to catapult but uses a counterweight instead of tension. During the summer, Fletcher was over at my house with his son, Will. While we talked, Will became excited by my little trebuchet. He busily launched nuts and rocks down the driveway into the street. Being an excited boy, he wanted to build a bigger one! Bingo! Now I had a reason to build a bigger trebuchet! Over the course of the summer, with the help of Will and his cousin, the trebuchet slowly took form in my garage. As the weather began to cool and pumpkins began to show up in the stores, we had a sudden rush to finish our project. Last Saturday, the trebuchet emerged from the garage and was placed on the sidewalk for its first launch! We carefully loaded it with weight and placed a football in the sling. We watched as the weight dropped, the sling moved, and the football sailed ten feet in the wrong direction! AHH! After some fine tuning, our fifth attempted sailed 90 feet in the correct direction! A Success! The video below shows the launch and the outcome. Unfortunately, the video was focused on the trebuchet (so we could watch and see what was going wrong!) so I'll post an updated video in a few days with a wider angle!

We are so excited for the new Mr. and Mrs. Lund!

Wedding Bells!

Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Dave and Christa! We are excited for our trip out to Ft. Collins. It should be a fun packed weekend! Dan is trying to find a creative costume for the Tour de Fat. I am looking forward to see Dan ride a bike, while drinking some great Fat Tire; should prove to be entertaining. The wedding will be Sunday and I am sure we will be posting pictures quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the Lund's, seems like it's been awhile since we were all together.

On the other side of the family, lots of prayers and good thoughts are heading to Melissa, Shaun and Bryce. We found out a week ago that Shaun has colon cancer. He returned home today after a week's stay at the hospital to recuperate from his surgery and prepare to fight like crazy. Shaun is young, healthy and very motivated to be a survivor for a very very long time. LOVE YOU SHAUN!
