I guess a little birdie told Mickey that the boys would be visiting in July as they got a postcard from Mickey and the Gang todayWe also got a postcard from Jen. Thanks for both.
Congrats to Abi.
I hope that Cassidy surprises you with good grades.
What types of fees do you have to pay to have your kids in secondary school??
Congrats to all the DDA smarties
I had a long reply started earlier today, but I had to unplug the laptop to take it to work and lost it.
Hunter has a rough draft of a book report due tomorrow. He's known about it for weeks and had told us that he was working on it at school. Of course he didn't bring any of it home until last night and he showed it to me after the concert. I knew then that he was going to have trouble getting it done. He is such a slow writer. So he came home at 3 today and started in. I had typed what he had written prior to today into my laptop last night. He had missed including the setting in his opening paragraph which was a requirement. That meant that he needed to rewrite the whole thingI figured that if I type it and print it out it would be easier for him to rewrite it from type rather than his handwriting. Well he had no time to work on it at school today. I ended up taking him and the laptop to work tonight. I worked with him for an hour then Chris picked him up. I told Chris to work with him, but apparently he thought the lawn was more important and that Hunter could work independently. I got home at 9:30 and Hunter had managed to write a whopping 12 sentences in 3 hours
Chris had stopped him from finishing and started him on rewriting. The last couple of paragraphs were so much less informative then the rest of the paper. I ended up having him retell the important stuff to me and I finished typing it. by then it was 10:30 and I was not having him rewrite it. She will have to accept the typed format for the rough draft. I think 7 hours on a 3rd grade rough draft book report is more than enough. We will see what the teacher has to say tomorrow. It is all Hunter's words, just not in his handwriting. He even typed some of it himself which explained why it took him 3 hours to write 12 sentences. So needless to say I'm one frustrated mom tonight.
Hi Vicki!
I hope life settles down for you soon. It sounds like the party is really going to be special for Becky. She deserves it!

Did you find all the glasses you needed??
Good to see you Stephanie, I hope work is improving.
Poor Hunter....I am sure the teacher will know it's his words...she's seen how slowly he writes all year. I think typing it out was a great idea.

I hope his teacher isn't too strict about it.
The owner even called me back. I am also thinking of giving her a Heppner Guide to Billings...what do you all think??
Normally I would agree, but his teacher has turned out to be a PITA. The year is almost over
that it isn't one of her major PITA days.
Nope, no luck. All sold out.
No Donkey anywhere.... Most of the stores here have the babies, but are sold out of the other glasses. I'll live....
I have a friend who is graduating from Seminary soon and her first church assignment is Billings....our old stomping grounds!! I was so excited for her because it will be HER church, she is going in as senior pastor, she gives a great sermon.
Her oldest graduated from Littleton today and has been accepted into the Coast Guard Academy.
They are having a blow out party on Sunday. I had the hardest time deciding what to give either one of them for presents. I found the Kermit autobiography that just screamed Sara Jane (the daughter). Then yesterday I had a brilliant idea (they don't happen very often lately) and called our favorite restaurant in Billings and they are sending a GC.
Hopefully she will look at all the content over the typing issue.
So I spent the afternoon converting all of my WDW video to DVD, edited out some of the goofs, put in titles, etc. It came out to about 35 minutes in length. Most of it is the kids with characters, Chef Mickey's napking twirling, CRT, BBB, the talking trash can, FOTLK, and so on. I showed it to Bob tonight. Seems I have my work cut out converting him to a WDW fan. His response to the character stuff...."why spend all that time waiting in line when you could be riding???"
But if my kids want to than we will.
