How come no one is CHEERING for me?

David took the kids “hunting” on  our property last weekend.  And by hunting, I mean a long walk.  At one point, Handsome Dude fell down a hill.  According to the girls, he was tumbling over and over.  He was upset and shouted, “Dad!  I roll like a deer!”

Then, they had to climb up a steep hill.  David and the girls made it up, but the boys were having issues.

Does this surprise us?  No.  It does not.

While David and the girls were waiting, Little Dude shouted up at them, “GUYS!  How come no one is CHEERING for me?”

I would like to report that no animals, small or large, were harmed during the making of this hunting trip.  The fab four were too loud.  And dramatic.

I am supposed to be lesson planning.  But here I am.  Blogging. I did just finish up all my grading, however.  Which is something you should admire me for.

I have a “challenging” student.  While the kids were taking their math test, I noticed he had gotten the right answer, but had forgotten to show his work.  Which I had already told the kids to do.  Three times.  (Welcome to teaching!)

I told him I needed to see HOW he solved it.  He said ok, and started to write, so I walked away.

I was just grading them and got quite the chuckle when I got to his math test.

I JOOST NO (I just know)

Ha.

There is a turkey feather under my bed.  I have no idea how it got there.

Just kidding.

It has to be Little Dude.

David is trying to expand the pig business.

That’s all I want to say about that.

Little Dude’s teacher emailed to ask if it is normal for him to want to go to the bathroom several times a day and make bubbles with the soap instead of heading quickly back to class.

Let us pray that the Lord will give her strength as she tries to guide my little, not-so-focused man through 2nd grade.

I think I need to buy her a gift.

I am really tired.  I am happy with the kids being in new schools, but this routine is kicking my hiney.  I hope it all comes together soon.

My neck still hurts.
