MOUSE
Last week....
Kennedy: MOM! I just saw a mouse run across the kitchen.
Me: Hmmm, are you sure?
K: YES!
When Don got home I was telling him what she said and she could hear the doubt in my voice and piped up with "AND IT WASN'T A SHADOW!".
Subject dropped.
Yesterday morning....
Don: It wasn't a shadow
bummer....

Parent/Teacher Conference
WARNING: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ A BRAG SESSION, SKIP THIS POST :)
We had Mason's first parent/teacher conference this morning, and it was wonderful. Mason had a + or an E (exceptional) on every section of his report card AND he has scored VERY TOP in his class for literacy.
I am so grateful to have a smart little boy who strives to do his best and wants to please. I am also grateful to a Grandfather who always said not to start a boy with a summer birthday in school until he is 6.
Mason SHOULD score well because he technically could be in 1st grade. However his teacher did say he also scored very well for a 1st grader and that his penmanship is also great for a first grader.
She also said that he always listens to instructions and follows all directions. This is something that we work really hard on at home so I am glad that it is showing at school.
I know that we made the best decision for him and I hope that we continue to get these great reviews through out coming years.
(A funny little note...I told Mason last night that I was going to his conference today and that his teacher was going to tell me all the bad things that he does at school. He knew that I was teasing and grinned but then got a little nervous and said, "I did get in trouble once in line for talking". Then a little while later he said, "Mom, I did get in trouble one other time for talking over Ms. Perkins. But I didn't get a yellow card."
Don't worry I assured him that I was teasing and that I knew his teacher had wonderful things to tell me.)

Did you follow that. Ya, I know....CRAZY! We have had 3 family deaths and have had 4 renters move in the last few months and one moving in the next couple of months(hopefully after Christmas).
So not only have I been a busy mother lately, I have been a professional house cleaner, painter, contractor, and slave.
