Crime spree right here in River City

We live in such a peaceful communitee it seems strange when bad things happen. Colt had field and track day and I had to drive Belly to school so we went and shared lunch with him and could see the van burning from his school. There were swat teams helecopters and police and fire trucks all over the area. The woman he shot is expected to live but is in critical condition. Wonder what sets someone like this off on a crime spree? I wonder if he will be caught or if he will get free to commit more crimes some where else?
Since I will not be able to work in my garage as planned today I might as well think of something else to do. We still are not sure where we will be living come August. Most likely in our twin home or the one next door to it. Either way we really need to get a lot of stuff sold, thrown out or packed for storage. Might as well start in the storage room this afternoon then.
Isabel is graduating from preschool tonight. They make quite a deal over it. She will wear a cap and gown and walk down an aisle to the stage sing some songs and then when their name is called walk across the stage to accept the diploma. Just like a real graduation. There are treats afterwards. She is pretty excited. Tomorrow is her picnic and then no more school for her. The other children are in school until the 6th.
Well that is about all the news from Contraryville. I will keep you posted on the 'suspect' when I hear anything. MM

Enjoy your graduation! Jackie
Those graduation ceremonies for the youngsters are so cute and it gives them a good feeling of importance..Susie

It has been an unusual day here. I do not like very much staying behind locked doors. The last news report the suspect or suspects have not been caught yet. He/they are considered very dangerous as he is now heavily armed. It was an armoured truck that was robbed not the bank as I stated earlier. He robbed it in the bank parking lot and got the weapons the armoured truck drivers carry. They believe he may have stolen a car from a dealership nearby and have fled the area however they continue to search at this hour. They basicaly closed the neighborhood around DD's old house. They didn't bring the children that live there home on the bus all were picked up by parents. DD was so glad she had already arranged to pick them up. So I am not sure but think that things will go back to normal tomorrow with buses running as usual.
Isabel's graduation was so cute. They sang YMCA and did the actions. They all walked across a bridge from early child hood to regular school. One little boy stood up big and tall and did a thumbs up for everyone. How sweet. Isabel was adorable.
I have had a funny day of getting started at a lot of things but not accomplishing much. Just too much going on. Tomorrow is Belly's picnic so I won't get much done then either. Oh well soon it will be a new week. Will have lots to keep me busy then.

I love those "moving up" ceremonies and the kids at that age are so adorable.
Hope they catch this guy/guys soon and you can get on with your regular routine. Take care of yourself and the kids.
