My Little School Boy

Davis started school this past week here in Tulsa, and I have to say, I LOVE IT! But first of all, look how stinkin cute that shirt is?! Oh my goodness, I would probably buy more if they had different colors. He would be baby ready for the office every day. KIDDING! He knew we were getting ready for his second day of school, and was overly excited. Whew! He loves it there, too. Makes it a little easy on Mama! That smile of his gets me every time. Beyond precious. But I'm his mom, so of course I'm going to think that.

Yesterday was their Halloween party at school and look what they made! Davis' teacher has got to be related to Super Woman, because I have no idea how she was able to do all of the kid's hands and feet. Let alone make them look so cute! Wow! Impressive, much? It was even filled with a new Halloween coloring book and all kinds of goodies. This school of his is winning me over more and more each day. Okay, so it's only been two days, but who's keeping track.

I'm really looking forward to using this for our first trick or treating this year (he was sooooo sick last year!!) and eating all of Davis' candy. I mean, seeing what all stuff he gets! He is going to be the most precious little sock monkey, ever. He can thank me later. There will be many pictures.

Do you have any traditions?

Have a wonderful day!

The Gene Pool Skipped Me

Growing up, school wasn't always the easiest thing for me. In fact, it was one of the hardest things in the world to me. I wasn't the brightest, but I for sure wasn't the dead bulb sitting in the back of the classroom. My teachers tried little things to help me learn, but I was like a snail trying to catch up to the rest of the class. My biggest problem? Math! Once I got it, we were moving onto the next lesson. Can you just slow down for a little minute? The snail is trying to catch up. Like clockwork, my stomach aches would come like a ticking time bomb. Every day when my teacher said to pull out our math books, my little hand went up in the air and said I needed to go to the nurses office. I'm not quite sure anyone caught on, because no one ever mentioned this to me. The nurse had to wonder why I came to see her everyday at the exact same time. I didn't even realize what was actually going on until later on in life. For the longest time I thought I had bad stomach issues, not massive math issues! Maybe, just maybe, instead of riding my bike outside everyday with my friends, I should have seen a math tutor I can just see it now! Prized pupil by the age of 10 and owning my own company by 17.

Still I have problems with everyday math. If I'm baking especially, I have to ask Michael certain fractions on how much to measure. Or check my bank accounts and ask about certain percentages. But, if I'm going shopping and something is on sale, you bet I can figure that one out!

My poor child is in for it when he's older. If daddy isn't home to help with his math homework, then I sure hope the kid figures it out on him own. Maybe him and I should go see the same math tutor together! No home school for us.

At least there is plenty of time for me to brush up on my math skills before Davis is in school!

All Ready For School!

I took this picture yesterday morning before I took Davis to 'school.' He is absolutely loving Mother's Day Out! Michael's mom sent this backpack so we could pack extra snacks in it. She joked saying that it was so we wouldn't get charged more since my son is a human vacuum!
But I thought this picture was too cute. He looks like he is posing, sticking his little foot out like that!!

If you are snowed in like me today, hope you have a nice, lazy day :) I don't feel like I live in Texas anymore!
