The Teacher Probably Thinks We Have a Problem

J:  Mom, I kind of got in trouble today for something I said.  I didn't have to go to the safe seat though.

 

Me:  What did you say?

 

J:  Well, Mrs. A asked, "What can you do with money?", and I raised my hand and said, "You can bet with it."

 

I couldn't even contain my amusement.  And J's black and white mind couldn't understand why this wasn't a desirable answer in the 2nd grade.

 

On the same day, I found this in J's backpack.  He told me he just was passing time.  Obviously, he still has plenty of independent free time during his school day. 

 

 

 

 

Wait a second!  Casino manager? 

 

Two gambling references in one school day.

 

Add this to the NCAA basketball brackets J was obsessing over during class time, and I'm willing to guess his teacher probably thinks we have a problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring is in the air

The Only Easter Photos I Took

 

 

There is something so special about having cousins the same age!

Waiting

Good friends are worth waiting for.

Her First Book

An Un-feel good story "writt" by E:

 

 

 

and name is J and my name E.

 

And I love my brother.

 

And  love my mom and dad.

 

and my whole life has been my brother

 

yelling at me.

 

And they all lived happily ever after, right?

 

 

Bursting His Bubble

J:  I can't wait until middle school so I can bring money to buy more food at lunch.

Me:  Why?  You don't get enough to eat now?

J:  No.  That's why middle school will be so much better.

Me:  You do know that they have a lot of rules about portion sizes and how much kids can eat at school lunch, right?

J:  Seriously, I knew Michelle Obama would get in the way of things.  That (school) is where I count on getting a lot of junk food.  It's awesome!
