Grant’s class is studying the US Postal system… how to address an envelope… where the stamp goes, etc.  They are practicing writing letters too.  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.

June 13, 2012 9 Comments

April 27, 2011 20 Comments

The ladies behind Seriously Shawn, Dandelion Wishes, Confessions of an Impulsive Addict and The Johanson Journey   have started a series of weekly questions to answer.  I appreciate that it is on Wednesday… the day I am most likely to be up to my eyeballs in laundry and have forgotten to make dinner. This week’s questions: […]

No symbolism here.

Conner has been needling Grant and just bugging his little brother in general. Grant got some scrap paper and drew a picture for Conner. I am thinking Grant is getting tired of Conner’s antics. I am also thinking that if Grant invites Conner to the beach, Conner should decline the invitation.
