V.I.P.

The boys have a VIP each week in their class. Jonathan is next week and Matthew will be the following week. They have to pick pictures of their lives, answer a favorite things sheet, and tell a story and draw a picture to go with it. This is what they did.

The VIP gets to help Mrs. Bauer all week, be the line leader and all kinds of fun things. They are each taking in some 9-1-1 things to give their classmates and I may go in and tell them about 9-1-1 a bit. They also want to bring Hayley in. I'm not sure the class is ready for that one!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We're having a celebration with Grandma Cindy and Papa Terry and the boys are looking forward to their arrival this afternoon.

Class of WHAT????

You see that right, proud members of the class of 2021 for Grand Haven High School!
Wow.

The boys' class has a new senior high mentor from the class of 2009. She will be in their classroom 2 times a week helping out and telling the kids about her experiences in the schools and encouraging them. They are very excited. Even if she is a girl, yuck phoey spit...

The Dinner Conversation

Tonight we had an issue at the table. The boys refuse to get to know any of the girls names in their classroom, they refuse to learn anything about them. They are girls, ewwwww. Apparently, cousins Katy and Lainey are the ONLY cool girls on the planet and all others are not worth even a mention or a fraction of their time. They are seriously idignant about having to even sit next to a girl in school.

The boys are going to live with me, never get married, and not have kids. I'm ok with that, Jeff is not so much. Matthew says he is going to marry me. I did point out that I am already married and Matthew said he will wait until Jeff dies. Poor Jeff.

Jeff's ego is bruised. He's also a bit worried that Matthew is THRILLED with the color of the primer of his bedroom. Matthew was furious with us when we painted over it today. He wanted a hot pink room!!

I can't help it I have corrupted the children...

The Caped Crusaders Ride Again

The boys couldn't come to an agreement on what they wanted to be for Halloween this year. After much debate, delay and frustration I ruled that they would be Batman and Robin again and we would try for new outfits next year. They were happy.

Grammy came to spend a few days with them. They had beautiful weather (we walked with them on Halloween in short sleeved shirts!). After their party at school they talked Grammy into taking them to Crazy Bounce to play Thursday afternoon. On Halloween they had no school so they took advantage of the 60 degree plus weather and Grammy took them to the zoo but they were scared by yellow jackets and retreated to the safety of a McDonalds playland (a scam by the boys if I ever heard one). They did a bit of trick or treating downtown and then we hurried off to hit the neighborhood while Grammy passed out candy at our house.

We stopped to visit their friend and former daycare provider Missy and they posed for one picture with Grammy but there was loot to be had and no time for posing for pictures!!
