Pre-Fall Break (Random) Happenings

*Happy 88th Birthday to a very special lady!  She qualified for a free gator ride!

 *Mrs. Peacock, with the Wrench, in the Library- the kids have become big Clue fans!

 *The kids continue to have a good school year which is such a blessing!

 *Extra sweet teachers help!!!

 *Rapunzel...I mean, Natalie got a hunk of hair chopped.

*Home, home on the range...

*Scott was working his way through 10 long, multi-step math problems for homework.  I encouraged him to make it to number 7 and then take a break for awhile.  Once he made it to 7, I said, "You're so close now...why don't you just finish the rest?"  

He protested, "That's like running a 5K, and then saying, 'Why don't you just run one more mile'...I was really looking forward to stopping!"  

Good point, Scott!  Take a break.  What was I thinking??!

 *Super Hero Day in First Grade!  So much fun!

My boy is growing up!  He recently went with his class on a 2 night outdoor learning experience.  I was tempted to break the rules and slip a cell phone in his back pocket so that I could hear how he was doing.  I survived, however, and Scott did well.  He had a lot of stories to share upon his return and has a neat class!

Scott has a teacher who likes to use the line, "I'm not going to answer that."  When classmates ask questions that are obvious or unnecessary, Mr. D responds with his monotone line.  Scott has picked up on this, and now uses it on me sometimes when my mom questions become too much.  The other day, Natalie asked him, "Scott, if you had to have earrings, what kind would you get?"  To which Scott rightly replied,  "I'm not gonna answer that."   :)
