Clayton

This morning, I had the pleasure of attending a ceremony at Clayton's school as he was selected a "student of the month." We're very proud of him, as this is a real accomplishment for anyone selected. The kid must be nominated by a teacher, then all the teachers for the grade and administrators have a chance to vote. If one of them has a negative comment, the kid is out. (Kind of reminds me of "black balling" in sorrority rush!)

So, there were some doughnuts and muffins, as well as hot chocolate and institutional coffee. I opted to wait until I got back home to eat breakfast! Plus
the whole thing was just too early for me! The cermony started at 7:45 am. While I am at my best in the morning ... it needs to be MY morning time!!

We also got Clay's midterm report card today, which was GREAT! Actually, both boys are doing fabulous this year; they both have the best overall grades ever. I truly believe homeschooling math was a "magic bullet" for Harrison. It seems that getting that monkey off his back allows him to feel in control and positive about his school day. He's also been pleasantly surprised at the math skills he's gained, which he's been able to use in chemistry!

We're expecting a beautiful weekend, and let me say - I sure can use a dose of sunshine!
