D and I are going to the Valentines luncheon with Andrew at school today. This morning, Andrew walked out of his room carrying his highwater, burnt orange, Texas wind pants and his wrinkled green-and-white checkered "sunday best" shirt that's been wadded up in the bottom of his closet since October. Usually I just go with whatever he picks out but . . . I managed to redirect him to something that at least fits. Like · · February 10, 2011 at 10:28am Lester Lawler and Patricia PA Frey like this.

I can't possibly be the only person who pauses after I've written a questionably-spelled word, waiting for the piece of paper to confirm my misspelling by underlining it in red for me. But I'm probably the only person who feel betrayed by the paper when it doesn't happen. :D Like · · February 9, 2011 at 3:51pm Elaine Dittmer, Priti Shah and 2 others like this.

February 9, 2011 at 4:46pm · Like Elaine Dittmer I try REALLY hard to NEVER 'write' anything on paper. In fact I had a hard time realizing that you were talking about real pen to paper writing there.

To impress upon Andrew the difference between being 4 and being . . . Dave's age, Dave counted from 1 to . . . his age. (LOL!)

EPISD is closed AGAIN tomorrow, which means our pre-school is probably closed, as well. I really want to throw a shoe at someone right now. No one in particular, anyone will do. Any volunteers?
