Spencer is the Student of the Month

Spencer is student of the month for February. The theme for Feb is "effort". It is to bad that his mom is not going to get mother of the month for February. The mom has not made much "effort". I forgot to get Spence to school early so he could get his picture taken for the newspaper. I feel like a great big jerk. Spencer also thought I was a great big jerk. So it is getting posted here and on my facebook page. GREAT WORK SPENCER!!!


Yesterday Mica had an interview for cub scout of the year. It was with his Cub Master, and the Cub Committee Chairperson. Mica is not going to be Cub Scout of the year. Not that he didn't interview well, he did. However, when asked what he would tell people about cub scouts, and what he liked about cub scouts. He said, "well to tell the truth, I don't really like cub scouts. Sometimes it is really boring, and ..." . Then there was a bit of a pause, and I could tell he was getting ready to say, "sometimes it really kind of sucks."

At this point I interrupt and say, "just because it is not fun all of the time does not mean that you don't like cubs."

The cub of the year probably should like cub scouts.

On a personal note, I easily benched 90 lbs last week.

I like Mica. He's honest. He tells it how it is.

Congratulations to Spencer. I'm sure you are proud.

I bet your bench will be over 100 lbs by the end of March. You go girl!

Wow. What a week!

Good work Spencer! Emily wanted to make twinkie dogs the other day and I said no freaking way. :)
