This seems like it has been the longest week. Maybe it is because it was the first week back to school after a sweet 17 days off!!! But, I do know that declaring this Friday as pizza & movie night was the best for my crew :)
We are getting back into the swing of play, homework, dinner, play, bath, read a book and get to bed routine!! Some how we have managed to make it to several appointments after school, and even on time!! And, if you know me that is fabulous! Maybe, just maybe in 2011 punctuality will start happening for me!
So, onward to our hair appointments. This is when Mason informed us that when little boys go the get their hair cut they go to the barber shop. Surprised, I asked how he knew about barber shops and his response "a book." Now, that completely warmed my heart beacuse that is what I love so much! It is what I do, it is what I LOVE....children's books. Kids can go anywhere when they read a book, and I can only hope that my 2 boys will love books as much as I do. :)
This week also brought on report cards....Carson asked to see his report card and then proceeded to ask "what is a 98, and a 96, and a 92?" So, I answered and said it is the score of your grades and he responded "well, my scores sound good to me!" And, then he saw a B+, and I knew what was coming. He wanted to know how in the world all A's and 1 B could possibly happen!?! And, I smiled and said we always just expect YOUR best. So, if A's and B's are your best then we are proud of you & happy too! This is a struggle for Carson, he wants perfection and so we contine to stress his best. And, with the help of his teacher this year, he has made excellent progress! Mason got the "joy to teach" comment on his 3K report, and so he says "see, it turns out good even if you do get 1 yellow" God has truly blessed me with very different little boys! :)
Lastly, I got a call today from Mason's 3k teacher saying he had fell on the playground & busted his head. Of course, she immediately says he is fine now but it did bleed a good bit. So, I am off to check on my sweet Mason, and I get there to find he is perfectly fine. They had cleaned his wound & given him a extra snow cone. He was all smiles, a very big blue smile :) I am so very thankful for the wonderful school that my boys attend!
And, then his teacher asks if today was his birthday and I said no it is the 17th. She immediately apologized & said she was so embarrassed!! But she had the 7th on her calendar instead of the 17th. So, they had sang to him & given him a gift. He even had a birthday badge on his shirt. Mason looks at me and says "moma, I told them it wasn't my birthday." His teacher laughed and said that he did tell her it was on the 17th. At this point, I am laughing & I do thing that it is quite funny. And so Mason gets to celebrate on 2 days! A few minutes later, he asked if he could get an early dismissal and of course I said yes :) Alll in all, a good week....a very good day on this Friday. What made it even a little more sweeter.....Mason telling me that I sing good to the radio and "you even sound like the singers on the radio, you are the best moma in the whole wide world"
So, with that I smile a little bigger and know that I am blessed beyond measure!!!
