What I have been asking Grant each morning: Â Did you make your bed…? What I will be asking Grant each morning from here on out: Â Did you make your bed properly, or did you just pull the comforter up over a big wad of sheets, blankets and stuffed animals….? oy.
Sorry, but I have a “no reptiles” policy in place.
Grant’s class is studying the US Postal system… how to address an envelope… where the stamp goes, etc. Â They are practicing writing letters too. Â I received the following letter in the mail yesterday: (Just in case you can’t read it… here it is word for word.) Dear Mom, Your the BEST mom ever! You also […]
A county fair… bad food, bad prizes and good fun.
Did you go to a county fair this summer? My neighbor Melissa said in an Instagram upload, that a county fair is the Olympics of People Watching. Â Oh, amen to that. It’s also the Olympics of Fried Food. It’s also the home of giant food… All. Kinds. Of. Wrong. And if you’re going to eat […]
