I am soooooo glad it’s the end of the school year! I am tired of fighting The Battle of the Homework. Going through Grant’s papers I found this: The assignment was to look up a word and write the definition. While it would no doubt have helped if he had spelled concert correctly, he appears […]
You just can’t make this stuff up. More of life with Grant.
Scene: Yesterday morning, Grant and I were about to walk out the door to head for school. We notice it is drizzling and a bit chilly. Me: “Grant, run and grab your jacket, it’s kind of cold.” Grant: “I’ll be OK Mom.” Me: “It’s wet. Grab your jacket.” Grant: “I can’t….” Me: “What do you […]
Bird Watching
I love it when my kids take an interest in nature. This month, Grant has decided that he is interested in birds. I took all of these shots stealth-like, through the window. That which you study, you also change… so I didn’t want him to see me. He is so patient, sitting there with his […]
A boy and his box… a love story.
Through blogging, I sometimes have the good fortune of receiving a box of craft supplies or other goodies. They are sent to me so that I can play around with them and try them out. I get excited about the goodies, but Grant gets excited because there is A Box. What is it about little boys and […]
A crazy old lady… but in a very good way.
My mom is quite the adventurer. Several years ago she and my dad to a cruise to Alaska and while there, she rode a zipline through the forest. She loved it and she has been asking my dad to build her one in their back yard ever since. (My dad has so far refused.) Mom […]
Share the wealth.
Last week on Valentine’s Day, Grant’s class had a party. He came home from school with a bag full of cards and candy, and also with his best buddy, Jake, who was going to play for a while after school. He asked if he could have a piece of his candy, and also asked if […]
Have a nuclear Valentine’s Day!
Grant has been drawing lots of little Valentines for me. Lots and lots of drawings. To mix it up a bit, he has begun making heart shapes around the house for me. Sometimes they’re out of Legos, sometimes out of blocks or Crayons. He often will arrange the heart shape while I watch. That was […]
Wine marinated Beef Stew, served with a side of Funny. mmm mmm good.
Yesterday Giada De Laurentiis was on The Today Show sharing some recipes for comfort foods. One of them was for a Chianti marinated beef stew. Sounded good. I didn’t have the exact ingredients that she used, so I winged it. I used a Cabernet to marinate the meat instead of Chianti. Grant was watching the wine-marinating process. […]
2012: The Year of the Chopstick
Little boys aren’t known for their lovely penmanship. We have had an ongoing problem with little boys who don’t hold the pencil properly and who write their letters from the bottom up instead of the top down. (Take a quick moment and draw an I, a T and an F for me… from the top, […]
It’s OK… I’ve seen worse answers from Miss America contestants.
Grant is the Superstar of the Week this week at school. In addition to getting to be first in line for recess and to go to the lunch tables, he gets to create a timeline of his life, share trophies and favorite toys, etc. He also gets to fill out a questionnaire about himself, by himself. It […]
