wow--is Novemeber really half done?

***decided to post my drafts: they are unfinished works, but it gives you a little glimpse into our November. :)***

Where did time go this month? HMMM?? let's see. Mike out of town, home, hunting, family visiting, Mike and A out of town, parent/ teacher conferences, kids having half days of school for a week, helping out in two elementary schools, shampooing carpets, ripping down wall paper. I have been busy this month.

I started volunteering at J's school too now. I have been volunteering at A's school for the whole year. I just decided that I could keep better tabs on J and know what was going on at school a bit more if I was volunteering. It has been good. I go and read with kids that are struggling with reading a bit.

We had parent/teacher conferences.  Both kids did really great.  Their teachers say they are model students.  And both received some 4's which their teachers say they hardly ever give out.  I was pleased.

Funny things My kiddos Say: October Edition

I haven't been very good about jotting them down this month, but here are a few.

**DD-S was "reading" a little book about the creation and "read", "Heavenly Father gave us the water so we can drink and the fish can swim. He gave us the birds so we can shoot them and eat them." That is what I get for marrying a hunter. haha! (31 Oct)

**we have our three older kids together in one room for sleeping purposes, and they do a bit more playing than sleeping at night. So, ds-J comes out one night saying, "I know what you can get to watch us better when we are in the room. You know those things they use on the TV to see the deer at night, you could get one of those." He is referring to something he has seen advertised on the outdoor channels; it is like night vision, but recording the deer. Silly boy!

** Kids are supposed to be cleaning, dd-S says, "Mom, my Spirit keeps distracting me, so it is VERY hard to clean." (3 Oct)

**dd-S, trying to convince her sister that she had already seen 101 Dalmations 2, "Yes, I saw it, in Mom's belly, you weren't there. Mom's belly has a dvd player in it. " (1 Oct)
