He's Officially Smart

JR is now an official member of the National Junior Honor Society.
He was inducted last night, so he's totally legit.


We all lined up to have our pictures made with him because we were so proud. 






You can see from the pictures that he wore his University of Texas tie, but it was his President Trump socks Paw-Paw bought him that were the real fashion statement.

Car Rider

Chloe loves to go on car rides more than any dog I've ever seen.
She literally jumps for joy every morning as we are leaving for school.


She loves having her hair blow in the wind so much that she won't ever come in, not even at 70 miles an hour.

But she's such a baby she has to be held.
If I'm the only one in the car she rides on the console; she's scared to put her head out by herself.   

Just look at that happy face!

One Month

I informed JR that in 1 month from today school would be out and he would be able to sleep until noon and then go out for lunch.

He and his lunch buddies are super excited because Baskin Robbins opened up on Saturday, and is in their biking area.

We were the 20th customers.  


Which I'm not sure if that's something we should be proud about, our extremely embarrassed.

Astros

I totally forgot the boys (including Jason) have all been to see the Astros already this year. 
 I think they all went in like the first 3 games.





I have not been, but the rest of the house has enjoyed the fancy pants seats!

Did You Notice?

Did you happen to notice JR in the background of the picture I posted yesterday? 
Here it is again.



Yep, some days he's the commentator, some days he's the snow-cone maker, sometimes he's both.

After each game the home team has to supply a volunteer to make and give out snowcones to both teams.

JR likes doing it and is always up for the job.
  The parents hate it, which makes JR literally everybody's favorite person.

Talent Time

The PTA moved the talent show to the end of the year, which was fine by me.
They put me in charge again this year, but I had some demands this time around:

- I wanted a day-time, during school show only (nobody wants to come back to school in the evening at the end of school)

-All try outs had to be emailed or texted to me (I wasn't staying after school to watch kids dance and sing)

-And all dress rehearsals had to be during school hours.

I got everything I wanted, and I guess the kids really liked the show last year because this was just one of the stacks of audition forms that came in,

Yesterday, 3 little girls from Kyle and Reed's grade came over for me to help them with a routine. And when I say "help" I mean I picked the song, made up the routine, and taught it to them.  

It was funny having 3 little girls in the house (they all ooohed and ahhed over Kyle and Reed's baby pictures and fell into hysterical giggles when JR came home.)

After they left Reed said, "I'm so glad we don't have any girls in our family!"


One of the girls is Reed's little girlfriend, who I just happened to get a picture of with Kyle and Reed at the ball field the other night,


Their routine is super cute (if I do say so myself) and will be great if they practice like they should!

Bad Bunny

Chloe has been giving me the stink eye ever since Easter.  Just look at that mad face.


She helped herself to a chocolate bunny that was hiding in my closet last Easter, so she's been waiting for her chocolate bunny this year. 



And since she still hadn't gotten a chocolate bunny this year, she figured she'd jump on top of the kitchen table and eat an entire bunny (still in its packaging) while we were out of the house on Sunday.


Chloe said she knew it was hers, it was a Godiva bunny, and she prefers the best. 


Clearly, she's fine.
