There, I said it.

A Crash Story

Hubby & I went to the 2 younger bebe's teacher conferences yesterday. The kids are smart, doing well in school. blah blah blah. Don't misunderstand, I totally think it's important. Crash had to come to our conference with his teacher. It's a student led conference. Cool.

His teacher is a good guy, yep, a guy, Mr. P. Mr. P lets us in on the fact that Crash is somewhat of the class clown. Lovely. (Although, that really doesn't bother me either. I figure if I'm not getting notes home that he's disrupting class, it's all good.)

Anywho.

Mr. P tells us that there was a class spelling bee. Crash didn't do so well. I'm stunned (NOT! - Crash hates standing up in front of people being put on the spot.) Two misspelled words knocked him out. One was teriyaki. (Heck, I"m not sure I just spelled that right.) And then then other one, MENU.

Yes, the word that knocked him out was MENU!!! Go ahead, ask me how he spelled it.


P-I-E.

P-I-E. He spelled MENU, PIE! I said "Crash" and he looked at me and said, I didn't want to do it mom. Which again, no big shocker there. Give him something to memorize and recite, he can do it, put him on the spot with an unknown. NOPE. He turned down a spot last year to meet and play a game on stage with some Carolina Panthers guy, just because he didn't want to be ON STAGE!! HELLO!!!

So, PIE it is. I'm good with that.

Happy Halloween

Here are two of my three bebe's in their Halloween get ups. Pootie left the house before I could get the required group shot of the 3 of them. So much for required! Pootie was Jason Vorhees. First attempt at something scary. Crash was "Wassup", and Lola was a Vampire Bride, or something like that. Now, Crash had decided a couple of weeks ago he was going to be an army man, he changed his mind literaly at the last minute.....so he had to go to the trunk of Costumes from Halloween Past. And Lola wanted to be a Ballerina. She too, changed her ever so fickle mind. She too, found herself in the truck...
Like I'm running out to Halloween Costume store Hell at 5:00. I DON'T THINK SO!!!!

OK - so the two bebe's...and fyi, Lola strikes that pose all on her own, I have NOTHING to do with it!!!!! She watches entirely too much Project Runway!!!! And isn't the hair just fabulous!!!?
