Tidbits...

Meap results from last fall's test are in.... Ben is thinking very much like a 4th grader-Good job Meadowbrook teachers!  But 4th grade teachers-can you slow down on some of the homework that is being sent out.  We have spent 2-3 hours each night on it-way too much for an elementary students...

With the media's blowup of the swine flu, of course it has trickled down to children.  Ben has become super paranoid about catching it and washes his hands much more often.  One of my Kindergartners referred to it as the "slime flu" .  I certainly got a chuckle...

How about those 80s last weekend?  It is a whisper to all of us that summer is coming-actually 7 weeks to be exact but who is counting anyway....

I am hating the new facebook more and more.  It changed again and I can no longer get updates on all my friends' statuses.  That was one of my favorite things to read-bummer, crummer, nuts...

Coco turned 3 this week.  She got some steak for dinner and will be going to the doggy store this week to pick out a special treat...

A big snapping turtle crawled onto our front lawn.  People were stopping and taking pictures of this curious, big and probably very old guy.  He was cool to observe but made me a bit nervous, what if he snapped off a finger or a toe?...

Ben and a buddy of his were having a discussion about music and they both secretly admitted that, although very uncool, they enjoyed music from artists such as the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana.  I had to suppress a giggle....
