Momma Drama

.....Where did I put that day off anyways?

Wednesday was parent-teacher conference with Devin's preschool teacher. "She is so quiet in class...." This isn't the first time someone has mentioned this about her a large group setting, but still! Knock me over with a feather, again. Good report on her otherwise...it's pretty hard to flub up preschool I imagine. I took Trent back to the orthodontist this day also. He needed a new spacer, since he yanked the other one out by eating taffy. Oops.

Thursday was parent teacher conference with Trent's teacher. He does very well over all, and especially well in math. He has started slipping in the listening department though. After that I took all three kidlets to the mall to get their pictures taken. Trent's first grade/7 year photo, and attempted to get a decent shot of them to put in the Christmas cards. Those pictures turned out so-so.

Maiya is heading for some time-outs lately. She is quite the bugger some days. Although she is very cute when she says, "Knock, Knock" then when we say, "Who's there?" she says "I dunno.", complete with the shoulder shrug and hands out with the palms up. Or she'll say "Daddy!" and laugh herself silly.

We are watching Gulliver's Travels right now, the Ted Danson one. One tape of it for tonight, the other tape for tomorrow. Dave left this afternoon to go hunting for the weekend. I need to buckle down this weekend on the Village stuff. It has been ignored while I concentrated on doing house renovations. I did manage to clean up the yards a bit today, get the porch chairs and things into the garage.

Trent's birthday is Monday; I talked him into taking cookies to school on Monday rather than cupcakes. I figured if he took cupcakes, I'd have to transport him and them to school. He requested Thanksgiving cupcakes. Don't you know I have no Thanksgiving themed cookie cutters. Time to pull a rabbit out of my hat....He's getting a volcano cake this year for cake and ice cream on Sunday with Grandma. Mr. Smartypants requested a Spiderman costume as a present, probably because I told him that I don't buy store bought Halloween costumes, so he needed to save his money for next year if he really wanted that SM costume. Ha! So we bought him that, and a Spiderman Leap Pad reading book.

The chocolate chip cookies are beeping......happy weekend all!
