Back To School

Only in my family could a special "back to school" themed dinner turn into a night of laughs and giggles. I fixed homemade spaghetti and meatballs and we had banana fudge sundaes for dessert. I picked a F.R.O.G. theme for our supper discussion.
F stands for FOCUS
R stands for RESPECT
O stands for ORGANIZATION
G stands for GOALS
I just knew that our supper was going to be so inspiring and really get us off to a great start for the new school year. I asked the kids to repeat what the letters stood for and that is when the laughs started. Chesley is going to high school and they have a coffee cart in the commons - she said that the G stands for "Gotta Grab a Coffee). Not to be out done Cutter said he thought the G stood for "Git R Done". He laughed so hard at his own little joke that Chesley choked and we all laughed for 5 minutes. So much for seriously inspirational. LOL

Another Year Gone

Where does the time go? I sat at Cutter's graduation feeling like it was just yesterday that I walked him down the hall towards his classroom for the first time. Yet, I have a little boy who has grown up so much during the last school year. His graduation today was just perfect. He walked to the microphone and exclaimed with confidence that when he grows up he wants to be a Shark Scientist. Lucky me, I have the kid who wants to swim with deadly animals in the vast oceans. LOL

He is excited that it is the last day of school, he ate the 10 piece nugget meal for lunch at Wendy's , his good friend Brody came over to play for a couple of hours, and he is fixing to go to a birthday party at the Theatre to see UP. I heard him sigh in the back seat on the way to his friend's house and then he whispered to himself...This is the best day of my life.
