coloring between the lines
:) This one made me laugh... This is a copy of one of Aidan's homework pages from last night. While he was working on the math paper I was just sitting next to him trying to let him figure it out without my help and his box of crayons were right in front of me so I started drawing on a piece of paper. Then I see that he didn't color the letter "U" or the little umbrella pictures on his homework assignment so I just started doodling. I colored his page for him without even realizing I was doing it since he had moved on to his math homework. I just opened up his blue homework folder and saw the comment his teacher left about "his coloring" :) Mommy got an A in coloring today!
The Holidays Are Over...
Well after a nice 2 week break from school Aidan is back this past Monday. He was very excited to get back! He received 2 new jackets for Christmas so he should be nice & warm as long as he doesn't lose them :)
Already 3 days back into school & I'm irritated with his school. Aidan didn't bring home his blue folder on Monday, I received an email saying he forgot it and he will get it on Tuesday. On Tuesday all of the usual papers that are in it for me to fill out (ex: what book we read as daily homework and any other homework)was not in the folder. Ok I guess his teacher still needs a few days to get everything back in order since we was also on vacation for 2 weeks. I get the folder Wednesday night & Monday & Tuesday's homework sheets were circled with a message pretty much saying is this done? hmmm I'm not a rocket scientist but should I have at least a day to fill out the paperwork & return it? I can't fill it out nor can Aidan do invisible homework that isn't in the folder *sigh*
Also every month Aidan gets these "family" projects that we are supposed to do with him as a family. In October it was a pumpkin we had to decorate & write a little story about it, in November it was a Turkey, in Dec a Christmas Tree, well on Wednesday I get the new project which is a snowman, and the due date says Friday. huh?? This isn't the first time this happens. We have gotten the family project in his folder and the due date said that day or the day before we even received the paper. I swear these people are not together or organized. At least we are given 2 whole days to work on this one (now one since we didn't do it yesterday) but when homework is involved with parents I think more then 24-48 should be given notice, some people actually work for a living or are sick or have to make dinner or anything else that comes up on top of helping Aidan with his homework, doing his sight words flash cards, reading at least 20 minutes a day as homework and reading another book for this Accelerated Readers test thing.
Ok now that I'm done venting... I'm changing the name of this blog to Surviving my children :) So many things happen on a daily basis here that pertain to not just Aidan & his school but him & Skylar & Daddy. There are so many moments that I wish 10-15 years from now I will be able to remember (without keeping a physical journal) so I am now making this my journal, starting tonight. These things are to make you laugh or smile or maybe cry, not rantings about life. They are things to enjoy while having children! with that being said...maybe...see you tonight!
