Another side of Cade

Ok so last post you got the fart story so now I have to post about the email Cade's teacher sent me today. This is the exact email:
Hi Morris'
Just wanted to let you know how patient and kind Cade was with his kindergarten buddy today. His buddy was having a hard time and Cade stepped right up and helped him. The little kindergarten guy cried because he wanted school pizza and his mother had sent him with a home lunch. Cade was so cute and cut him off some of his pizza. Cade may be a little hungrier than usual tonight! Please praise him and tell him again how proud of him I am.

Like how kind is that of Cade. If you know Cade you know he loves his food and is not usually a fan of sharing it. I have to admit I am a proud mama. I often wonder if anything I am trying to teach the kids will ever stick an then they just go and surprise me!!!

And while I am bragging Cade was also the top AR reader for the entire 1st grade. So next week he gets to meet the principle at Barnes and Noble to pick out any book he wants. He gets to be the first one to read it and then donate it to the school library.

btw I love the teacher Cade has for 1st grade. Mrs. Coles is an awesome teacher.

Boys boys boys

So yesterday Cole and Cade come home from school and as always I have them tell me about there day. Cole begins with the normal stuff played kick ball, did math, did computers etc... and then at the end he says "and p.s. I had to stay in from recess and go to Mr. Skeltons office (he is the princial's intern at the school.) I am like what the heck and he tells me that the day before at school this kid was chasing him and a few other kids and the other kids called this kid stupid and gay but he assured me he did not say those words but the kids went home to his mom and specifically named Cole and a few other kids as the ones that said those names. Accorrding to Cole he did not do it and his teacher was outside and saw what happened and cleared Cole of wrong doing. I said to Aaron I guess Cole was telling the truth if not I am thinking that some one would have contacted me. Cole is a good kid so I don't think he would do something like that.

Then Cade says about this day "I had to write in the naughty book today. I didn't even know they had a naughty book. He proceeds to tell me that they were doing math and he rattled off a huge fart and he started laughing and then the whole class starts laughing. Cade thought he was totally cool for doing that. The teacher didn't think that was so funny. So he had to write in the book what the bad action was and what a differnt choice would be so he wrote bad action :I farted in class a better choice: to fart in the bathroom. Then he told me that he wrote sloppy because he was mad that he had to do it. I was trying so hard not to laugh because it was just so dang funny.

What am I going to do with these boys! I am sure this is just the start of the trouble with these boys!

Much needed trip to St. George

So a few weeks back Aaron and I took at No kids allowed trip to St. George. We have been feeling a lot of stress lately and thought it would be a nice break and let me tell you it totally was. Who wouldn't love a 3 day trip with out kids and beautiful weather!!! It was just nice to be able to do whatever we wanted any time we wanted. A few things we did were hiking, laying out, shopping, eating out, a late movie, a quick trip to mesquite and of course Aaron didn't gamble. We felt like newely weds again that was until we pulled up (in the mini van) to a yogart joint called spoon me and there were about a 50 jr high kids looking at us like we were the oldest people they had ever seen (it was like 11:00 at night) and then it hit us that we are not that young anymore! We for sure left and found another yogart place up the road that had no one there. It was such a great trip and it was nice to remember that we actually do like being with each other! Also a big thanks goes out to all the people who took care of our kids so we could have this trip!
