Things to make me smile

We have grass again!!!! We went on vacation for 10 days in August and came home to dead grass. It was very embarrassing compared to the other yards on the street. Grass is Greener tilled our yard and reseeded... for less the cost of what we would pay retail for the seed! I'm scared to see our water bill, but now our yard is in better shape than many on the street. We need rain!



Hannah and Jack both made straight-A's. I must say, I am very pleasantly surprised. We have always known that Hannah is bright, but worried about Jack because he spoke and read much later. Jack's teacher said that he leading the class in reading. We are very thankful that they like school!

.... and I found this old picture from 1982. Erica is skeletor and I am wonder woman. We trick or treated at Northgate, and not a single person knew that I was wonderwoman until I told them. I was not pleased. Erica spoke her famous line that night, that we use til this day whenever anyone talks about putting on a sweater when it's cold. She had a speech impediment and when my mother told me to put on a sweater, she said, "but Mommy, wonderwoman doesn't wear a fweater"... you had to have been there :)

Your grass looks great! Scott aereated and reseeded our yard too and it looks much better now also.

Congrats to Hannah and Jack! Do they start getting letter grades in 2nd grade? I thought Hannah was just a year older than Jack. Did she skip a grade?

I think Shelby is going to be disappointed this year like you were. She wants to be Princess Lolly from Candyland. She wants me to put lollypops on her Princess Belle dress and crown.

Oh, I remember wanting to be Wonder Woman. I had some of those "special" bracelets she wore.
