Wild!

Wild! Wild! Wild! Is all I need to say to explain the kick that the boys are on! We all ventured out into the heat today to do a little Christmas shopping. Nice and humid out! Anyways we spent half the day at Wal-mart and Sams and Zane and Jaxon kept climbing in and out of the cart. Why is Zane in there anyways? He weighs 55lbs! They get out of the cart and scatter around the store like roaches, never looking up to see where they are going. So I finally had it and said, Ïf you don't behave, when we get home I'm calling Santa." I know that's not very nice but at that time I just wanted some peace for at least 10 minutes. So they settled down and Zane says "Mommy, am I being gooder at the store?" Yes, Zane you are being good! This evening is the repeat of things at least 3 times until I get some response. It must be a full moon or something in the water! Other than that we are all trying to catch a cold. Luckily we have all been healthy this year. Earlier this week we were all in the garage getting out the Christmas decorations and Bosco went out in the road and I said "Bosco you are making me mad, get back here!" Jaxon filled in the blank with "Bosco you are pissing me off!"that's great! Must get that from Mike! Of course he got in trouble though but we couldn't help but smirk a little when you hear a little voice say something like that. We try butdon't always suceed. Zanes teacher let me know at the last parent teacher meeting that he was one of the top 3 in spelling and reading in his class but behind in math. Must get that from me. I really hate math too! But needless to say we are working on it and we are trying to incorporate it in his everyday life. Like what time is it? And how many pennies are in a quarter etc..He seems to be getting it. Which is great since the kids in Florida have to pass a test at the end of the year called the FCAT. Something good old Jeb Bush thought was great to have. The teachers prepare the students all year for this test while George Bush made up "No child left behind." Do those two talk to each other on the phone about things? Idiots! Well hopefully the school system gets better or someone will have to get a second job or relocate if we have to send the boys to these schools much longer. (Mike!) We hope everyone up north is getting through the big snow that you just received. At least its there for the holiday. Unlike us down here with our air conditioner on. I guess you get what you ask for huh! Take care!
