Our Family Of Six: Honoring E

Honoring E

E kept us quite busy this week attending four awards ceremonies/banquets.

We even attended two in one day!

This is our reminder that although our teen sometimes drives us batty, he has some great redeeming qualities. When he puts his mind to something he is unstoppable.

Student of the Quarter

Out of the Mouth of Babes

This conversation happened at Kneaders: "I am going to save the rest of this dessert for later." "You mean, so you can eat it in 5 minutes?"
"I didn't know poop could be so fun." Comments after a junior ranger activity held at Cedar Breaks National Park. The junior rangers were looking through owl scat to discover what the owl had eaten. Their owl ate a small rodent. :)
Overheard while riding in the car with E driving, "Should I be wearing a helmet?" "I'm too young to die."
We were discussing clean language and words to avoid. Someone spoke up and mentioned that they heard a student at school say the "B" word. We asked them to spell the forbidden word: BULK. We quickly told them that word was okay to use.
After a presentation, one of our children told their sibling, "I love you. Now, go sit down."
