one less body part

The Midget had her tonsils out on Tuesday. Poor little princess. grammie came with us, and she did as well as can be expected. She's doing great now, minus the medicine part. She really hates that, but who doesn't. Only 5 more days of it. Or is it 6? Let's go with 5 :)
It goes like this.... water with ice, whine....water with ice....whine...water with ice, bite of ice cream - whine... medcine. Scream, cry- ice cream. whine...whine...whine...
We've got it down now, don't you think??

planes, boats, and camels :)

Guess where these 4 redheads will be on july 21????



Then on July 23....

and on the 26th....

And on the 27th, insert pale redheads with oodles of sunscreen and one mom with the awful mom-hat here :)

And on the 3oth you know where.....

it's over!! Summer started!!!

The school year is done!! The kids did wonderfully:) The monkey got all A's this time, and for the final grades for the year are all A's and one B, a 89. Can you believe that. one point!!!!

Midget got all E's, and awards for her reading, and her all E's inconduct, and the cooperative award. That's a new one, never heard of that one. It's good though, strange.

The monkey got a creative award, for finding cvreative solutions, and lookaing at the world with creativity. I feel the need to hug a tree :) He got the award for being on the honor roll too. Smart cookies, arne't they?

So in honor of summer starting we hit the splash pad, that was fun. They had a sleepover at a friends. Midgets first ever, sniff sniff...

Field Day

Last friday was field day for the kids school. Midget loved it, the monkey had some fun. They got stuck going to the outside part at the hottest part of the day. That was miserable! So, midget got the outside part first thing in the morning, that was alot better for her grade. They had lots of fun though, and were both really tired by bedtime. Hence the top picture of little midget passed out, and the poor monkey in the heat :)

Midget's prince

Well as some of you have likely heard abot midget's friend Mushari. She met him at school in Kuwait. He was the cutest little guy ever. He was very shy around everyone but her. They would walk around holding hands, and she even said he kissed her once. His mom is actually american, from around pennsylvania or somewhere near there. She says he is a prince and they will get married and she will be a princess. Lots of those in kuwait, everyone is royalty somehow. I am exagerating a bit...

But since a real prince is here in the u.s., i am thinking. Prince Harry has gorgeous red hair. Do you think he is too old for our 6 yr old?? He is so cute :) And he scores bonus points for the fact he would make her a princess. Even more perfect, they use my china...it is fate don't you think?

awesome teacher

This teacher is awesome!! She's a 4th grade teacher in Louisiana who told her students if they all passed the state exam for reading she would eat fried worms. Apparently they were reading the book in her class. They all passed it, and she did it!! She ate 30 fried worms!!!
I don't know about you, but i think that is so great! I bet you everyone of those kids will remember her for the rest of their lives. That is dedication to your job and your students. I hope that the parents chipped in for some pepto bismol for her. :)

School's almost out!!

Only 7 more school days to go!! Yeah!! Then it's the summer, swimming, riding bikes, being lazy....so wonderful. I love the summer, if only it wasn't so humid outside. Oh well, i guess that's part of Texas.

Taks is done, the monkey got a 98, 97, anda 92. We haven't gotten the letter yet, but the teachers showed them. So he is commended on all the subjects he took. That's a relief, that stress the kids out so much they begin to doubt how well they did. I know he was relieved to be done with it, and that he did well. We're so proud of him.

Here's a picture of him in his new hat his super-cool uncle got him from Chicago. He wanted the one with the bear after he saw it somewhere. When we flew through chicago i told him we would get one, but it was football season so there weren't any out. Turns out you can only get them in chicago, as it's an old design? So my brother got him one. Truth be told i think the only reason he likes the cubs id because of him. That's okay though, the cubs are cool in my book too :)
