Mornin' friends!
I meant to post last night but didn't have a chance to. Before we left for Disney, I stopped my ebay selling 'cause I didn't want to have auctions end while I was gone or have people asking questions and I wouldn't be around to answer them. So, last night, I started putting my stuff back up for bids. Gotta make that Disney money.
We have also started a new routine around the house. I don't know how long it will last but we're going to give it a try. Hunter's room can turn into a disaster area in 2 seconds flat. During the Summer months, I didn't say too much to him about it. I mostly just walked in, shook my head and closed the door.
I've told him that now he has to pick it up every night. That way, it won't get so bad that it's an overwhelming task to clean it up.
Also, our kitchen snack bar is the place where everyone comes in and drops their stuff. There's mail, there's backpacks, there's purses (well, just mine), there's toys, there's just a whole lotta junk. No more, I say! No more! We can drop our stuff there but by the time dinner is done, it has to be cleaned off. The only things allowed on there at the end of the day is the stuff that goes out with us in the morning.
In elementary school, the teachers actually encourage the kids to get their work done and send home their homework assignments. In middle school, they really start making the kids become independent and don't remind the kids as much. Hunter is like his dad.....slow as a snail in all things. It takes him forever to do something....including classwork and homework. It's not that he doesn't know how to do it or he's off in la-la land, he just takes his own sweet time. Now, when it's something he really wants to do, he can get those legs moving like a cheetah.
We've had a few talks about him getting his work done without anybody really pushing him to do it. He has to make sure he writes down everything the teacher has on the board because she/he won't be sending home a homework sheet. He knows the importance of what we are saying and says he'll do it. We'll see how long that lasts.
I am glad to report that "at least 50 kids" brought their lunch to school. At least that's how many Hunter said brought their lunch. Looks like the lunchbox doesn't have to be kept hidden after all. He was also excited to learn that they have a hamburger and fries line in the lunchroom. Two of his favorite foods in the world.
I'm having issues with photobucket. They said I am about to reach my limit but their site shows that I still have 56% of storage left.
I've gotten over 400 pictures uploaded and am working on the other 400 that are on my office computer. I still have hundreds more at home. Photobucket needs to work whatever kinks they have out so I can get started on my trip report.
In the meantime, I am going over to their site to find Lacey's graduation pictures so I can post them. I cry every time I see them because Lacey's crying in several of them.
Be back in a bit.
. anyway Danny said about a month ago there was a dead young deer in the ditch on the property next door (13ac heavily wooded) looked like she had been hit. The most we've seen at one time was 7. rarely do we see bucks they usually sense us before we can get a really good look!!!It is always so exciting. Last year when we had that freak snow storm we had a beautiful red fox chase a rabbit across the snow it was sad, exciting, and beautiful to see all at the same time.
