W'apow mu e, 

 

It rained again this morning which made for a muddy trip to school.  


Joe went into town with my grocery list.  I stayed home to make cupcakes for Danny to take to school tomorrow on his birthday.  I also got some practicing in on the keyboard.


Danny had to go to the office yesterday for talking.  He said that the girl next to him was not doing her paper right, and he was trying to tell her that she was doing it wrong.  The teacher told him to stop talking, but Danny was very concerned about the girl next to him.  He talked again to try to set her straight and had to go to the office.  Today, we asked him if he went to the office.  He said, "Nope!  A girl even talked to me, but I didn't answer her.  I just took care of myself."

This evening, we went up to the church for a music practice.  All but one showed up, although one lady was thirty minutes late.  


When I made the cupcakes, I had a little extra batter.  So, I made a small cake with it.  We were eating that for a snack.  After everyone got a piece, there was still some left.  I asked if anyone wanted a little sliver.  I guess the kids had not heard the word "sliver" before.  Bonnie said, "Mom, I'm eating my snorter."  Close!!


Gilbert wants to make sure that I get his special package wrapped for Danny for tomorrow.  I told him I would get it wrapped while he is at school tomorrow.  

 

Nantsew yie!
