The "B"

A couple of weeks ago, Amaya told me that she tried out for The Spelling B. What? My shy girl tried out for something without any prodding? Way to go AMAYA!!!! She said that she thought she would do well in something like this, because she usually gets A+'s on her spelling tests!
Today Amaya came home with a letter, and a HUGE smile! The letter says: Congratulations Amaya, you have made it to the Spelling B, which will be held in the Auditorium on December 13th. She is so excited, and I couldn't be more proud!!!

No School

This week the kids have had conferences, in lieu of 2 separate half days, the district opted for all of Friday off, which is today.

Ryan: (this morning while cuddling with me in bed) "I know why we don't have school this morning!"

Mom: Really? Why?

Ryan: Because the grass is frozen!

There has been frost on the rooftops and on the grass over the last week, and being the observant one, he came up with this for his reason. So cute!
