warning..bragging mom

Ok, I am going to brag in a BIG way.

Today was middle school awards day. My son received a science award, the Headmasters honor roll award (for making a 94+ average every 6 weeks) and was inducted into the National Junior Honors Society. WOW!!

Hello..... does anyone but me remember that this is the kid who struggled for the first 4 years of school, the one who I thought at one point was NEVER going to learn to read. He has worked so hard at school. School is never easy for him, and he always has to work harder than the others for the same grades, but this year the desire to make those grades came to him in a BIG way. I could not be more proud, it is so wonderful to see his hard work (and mine) pay off.

Sorry my camera batteries died before I could take the first picture, but trust me it happened, I have the certificate to prove it! Those of you wishing to see it will find it framed in his bedroom. Come see it if you don't believe me. :)

i lied

I'm too tired to fool this tonight, made two different slide shows and lost them both. I'm done, as Grandma Schultz would say wooh.
p.s. I don't have a grandma Schultz.

whatcha been doin?

We have been busy. It is after all that infamous last month of school, I am truckin' along and all children at SCS have reached an all time high in excitement. We are all ready, even MH is faking illness every Monday morning. Thankfully this is our last Monday.
We are busy with all the usual getting out of school events, Finale Rally (otherwise known as Field Day), awards day, and of course the ever fun graduation coming next week. All of this of course leads to vacation. Ahhhhhhhhhh, vacation.

Did you know we went to Washington DC? My mom and dad wanted to take the Pickle with them on a trip to DC for his birthday. Well I am an only child and so I felt free to invite myself and my husband and other child, change all their plans and do things my way. (The joys of being an only child.) We had a great time, the weather was wonderful, and fun was had by all. We saw all the sights, some several times as we had trouble navigating the roads occasionally. Did you know there are all kinds of bridges there? We were on all of them, some multiple times. After I publish this I will make a slide show of the pictures. Make sure you check them out.

Thats it for now, I'd bet the next time you hear from me, it will be from Duck, NC. As MH would say, peace out!
