Morning girls! HAHA I got the last post on this one so whomever is next has to start a new one!
I kept Thomas yesterday and the kid is a checkers shark! lol I mean, I do let him win, but he cheats and it is sneaky stuff like "Don't jump me, don't jump me this checker is a bomb and will kill both our men." You go along with his game and then he jumps you! lol We played with his tinker toys and I made this spikey thing and he looked at it and said, "Hmmm, that's a pretty good satellite!" I almost fell off the chair. He then proceeded to make "rays" with his tinker toys. At first I didn't understand what he meant with rays, but discovered he was making rays as in raygun rays. Each ray was a different animal or something and then there was a Nonny ray and a Thomas ray. When he pointed one at you and said what it was, you had to turn into that until he pointed your own ray back at you. He had a letter ray and a spelling ray and pointed the spelling ray at himself and said, "Spelling ray." He then started spelling, but not real words except his name and did it a couple times then said, "Thomas ray and said, whew glad I am back to normal. I am only 4 and don't know how to spell that many words."
He is one quick minded kid. He has this huge vocabulary and sometimes says stuff you have no idea what the word means, but come on, how stupid do you feel asking a 4 1/2 year old what a word means?????
Jack bought me beautiful red roses and the most wonderful card and took me out to one of our favorite Italian restaurants and we pigged out, but it was special. We had a lovely time, but my tummy told me, "You ate too much."
Maggie: Hope the brakes are reasonable. I know we are to the point where we have to buy rotars next time. I guess they are made to wear out about ever 75,000 miles or so and need replacing, but they are cheaper than they used to be to replace.
Jean: We had some creep yesterday get into a middle school here into a gym and drag off a girl and start to rape her. Thankfully, she got away, but why the doors weren't locked is a question I would like answered. Than we have a new principal of a middle shool that suspended the WHOLE 8th grade class for having this huge food fight in the cafeteria and refusing to apologize or clean it up. The parents didn't like it when they showed up last night at the school and the principal refused to discuss it with them in the meeting. She did say they wouldn't have it put on their records, but of course they are still fuming. I'd be kicking my kids behind for something like that not trying to make excuses and get him out of it. Most of them no one pays attention to until they get into trouble and parents are forced to involve themselves than it is, "My johnny is not in a gang." (as he stands next to her with gang colors on!)
Gloria: Make sure to take time out for you in the cooking process. We tend to overwork and then don't enjoy the fruits of our labors.
Eveyrone have a great weekend!
