the bus...
The boys of course love it although if you are at all familiar with Giggles you will understand my angst about sending him on the bus.
He has a difficult time following rules and to be riding a bus with no seatbelts in it is just asking for trouble. He has his older brothers with him on the way to school to help keep him in line though. Or will they????
So when the boys started coming home with all of their homework in the 2nd week of school ... and believe me it was a lot... and I started commenting (aka complaining) to Brett about how much they had and did the teachers understand that kids need time to play?? I also said that soon Giggles would be starting and he would be bringing homework home as well. Brett said "kindergartners don't get homework". What the what??? Where was he when Sheriff and Wannabe went to kindergarten??? Apparently I did my job altogether too well and he was totally unaware of the cutting and pasting, the spelling tests and rhyming homework as well as reading homework the boys had in kindergarten. So on Tuesday when we met with Giggles' teacher she gave him an assignment (homework) and some questions for the parents to fill out. There was a question on it I needed to ask Brett's help with.
"what's that for?" Brett asks.
"Giggles' homework" I reply.
"But he hasn't even started school yet" says Brett.
"I know, but we met his teacher yesterday and she gave him some... you were saying something about kindergartners not having homework?"
I know, I know... I'm a smarty pants.

3 out of 4 gone to school. What will you do with your time? Hope all is going well with you. I have been thinking of you I started a new quilt I think it will turn out beautiful. Take care
It's so hard to bite one's tongue when one is right.
Jodi- good luck with your quilt! I have sooo many unfinished quilts that I dream of getting done ONE DAY.
April - my tongue is too big for my mouth I have bitten it so many times... oh who's kidding who? I can't keep my mouth shut when I'm right.
we just went off-track, and I have to say it is worth keeping them home for a month to not have any homework (of course, day 1 starts tomorrow - might be singing a different tune on day 10)! My boys are going to be so jealous they get to ride the bus! I hope they are enjoying school!
good luck with going off-track! I know how my boys are during week 2 of off-track. the bickering is terrible! Fortunately we do not have any 4 week off-track stints this year. Don't be jealous now. I wish you the best though.
