*#@*$!@&^% (Things my kids are learning in school)

Afton came home from school on Friday and asked "what's the 'D' word mom". While my mind was still clicking into gear Jake responded with "Oh Afton, it means 'Dumb'!". She has also learned about the 'S' word (Stupid).

My least favorite thing she has learned this week -"Miss me, miss me, now you've got to kiss me!" Followed by the fact that she came home and told me she LOVES an older boy...probably some dashing first grader. Maybe I'd better sign up for lunch duty after all so I can keep an eye on this girl!

Jake's most useful lifelong knowledge from school so far: XYZ - 'Examine your zipper'!

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
