Wait.
That's not the one I should use, huh?
Anyway, i felt like my blog had been nothing but complaining, and who likes to listen to someone CONSTANTLY complain? Not I. So, I figured I would chill with the pissin' and moanin' and come back when I had something good to say.
When was that last post?
20 years ago?
*snort* So, here we go!
Mouth has been in school for 2 1/2 weeks and he is LOVING it! First grade is really agreeing with the monkey. And I have some great news! Ready?
Wanna know?
He was tested (NWEA testing) and he was so far ahead of the rest of the class in reading, they moved him into a Proficient class!! He will be challenged, instead of getting bored and perhaps tuning out or causing problems, which makes me so glad. My sister and I both read WELL ahead of some of our peers and when we had to read in class, we were chapters ahead of everyone else. We got in trouble for not "being with the class", and rather than let us read ahead, we had to stay behind. (That's when I did most of my note writing, story writing, whispering, sleeping.....)
So, needless to say, I am ECSTATIC!!!!!!!!!!! I always knew my Mouth was sharp, and to have it recognized in school is just awesome. He has challenges he has to work around, but they aren't holding him back in the least! *sniffle* I am so proud of our boy.
Hmmmmmm. Well, in knitting news, I am STILL working on the Love sock (bleah), started another sock in STR Mochaberry, and I really need to get a move on another hat for Hubby. Cold weather is a comin' (or upon us, depending on where ya are in the dang state, LOL) and I promised him the hat and scarf by the next cold spell. GULP
I started cross stitching again, so I wouldn't get bored with the knitting. Sheah, like THAT would happen *laughing until my sides hurt* But I finished a cute Halloween piece, and three Mary Engelbrit tea pots. I have a Halloween snowman in the works now.
Here are a couple pics Hubby took with his cell phone of the new friends the boys made this summer. Kaylin and Dax moved in next door for the summer, and the kids LOVED having them as playmates. Booga and Dax became best buds and greeted each other every time with hugs and big smiles. I think they had their own little language, too! They would chatter to each other through the window and one would nod while the other chattered, and vice versa. It was too cute! Mouth and Booga were so sad to see them go home to Utah, and Booga still asks, "Outside? Play Dax?"
Well, I am off to get something done around this house, even if it's wrong, LMAO.
