She makes my eyes turn into hearts!

Hunter (3) informed me this week that Shia is his girlfriend. (Shia is his former nanny's grandaughter. They have grown up together since they were two months old.) He hasn't seen Shia in months, so I wondered why this was on his mind. I ask him how he knew that she was his girlfriend. He said, "When she gives me a hug, she makes my eyes turn into hearts!"

For a moment I thought I had a future poet on my hands. I ask him if he had heard someone say that before and Carter answered me first. He informed me that on the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants Mr. Krabs eyes turn into hearts when he meets Ms. Puff for the first time.

OF COURSE!


Mrs. Puff: You're a very sweet man, Mr. Krabs.
[She kisses Mr. Krabs on the cheek, and his eyes curve into a heart shape.]

Cookie Exchange

The first Saturday of December, I hosted my first Cookie Exchange. I had been wanting to do this for years, but things were always too busy. I decided to go ahead and do it anyway this year and it was fun! Lots of ladies attended and the cookies were great! Maybe I will do it again...

STAR Reading

I hesitated to post this, but it's just so amazing to me! Hunter received what is possibly his last reading assessment in elementary school (5th grade). His scores are incredible, but what makes this so unbelievable to me - is where we were 4 years ago.  In first grade, this child struggled with sight words EVERY NIGHT. Seriously, there were tears 4-5 nights per week. Hour long tear filled, flash card sessions...daily. When I look at where Graham is now in 1st grade...reading/sounding out almost every word in front of him with ease...I truly realize how far Hunter has come! So what these results say (to the best of my understanding) is that Hunter is in the 5th grade, 4th month of school (GP 5.44) and tests at a grade equivalent of 12.9+ (compared to other students nationally). He's in the 98/99th percentile and can comprehend up to 80% of 11.4th grade material. So proud of his progress and so grateful for his 1st grade teacher, Ms. Shavon Diggs, who encouraged me to keep going...

Full Moon Hike

At the last minute, Hunter and I decided to join some friends at the 1st Full Moon Hike of 2016 at Harrison Bay State Park. We got a late start and had to drive carefully because the roads were a bit icy. We ended up finding the trailhead about 5 minutes after the Ranger and other hikers had started the hike. Some other Rangers and a teacher-friend from Wallace told us to go ahead and they would follow behind in a few more minutes. "Just keep right" they said. About 150 yards in, the path Y'd off...we kept right. The path was a bit muddy and had some cool ice formations. We couldn't seem to catch up to the group, but we were enjoying ourselves. About 3/4 a mile in, there was a loop to the right...it looked like it just went over to the water and came right back to join the trail, so we just stayed straight and didn't waste time with the extra loop. We walked and walked and walked. It got dark...it got muddy. It got muddier - like shin deep icy mud, with briars bei...
