Old School...

The boys got a lesson on Old School Rap this afternoon.  While in the office after school, I started singing "I Missed the Bus".  I thought SURELY, someone remembers this song.  But alas, no one remembered it.  Then we we got home, I heard Joey singing, "I missed the bus, I missed the bus" but I realized they had never heard the actual song.  So I played it for them.  Now everyone is singing, "I missed the buss".  It's pretty amazing.  And my favorite part was while the video was playing, Joey says:  "Miss Nina, did they really miss the bus?"  I love these kids.

First Week of School...

Well ladies and gents, we survived the first week of school.  The boys really like their teachers and I really love where I work.  So, I shall celebrate with my best friend and the boys got subway.  And no one lost their life.  Here's to not killing anyone!!

Those. Little. B@stards.

I'm at work doing interesting office things.  And I go to grab a paper clip.  THIS is what I find...

They're all grounded.

Quote of the Day...

Nothing really new to report.  But I will share with you all the quote of the day.  Credit goes to Justin...

Joey:  Ms. Nina, may I sit in the front? *talking about the truck*

Me:  Let me survey the situation first.

Justin:  *pointing to his stomach*  You mean THIS situation?

LMAO!  He sure has a great sense of comedic timing.

Morning Drop Off...

Was it necessary to blare "Baby Got Back" while dropping Justin and Jeremy off at the Junior High this morning?  Probably not.  However comma it WAS completely necessary to shout all the words while blaring it.  Just sayin.

Someone Turned 9 Today!

So today is Joey's 9th Birthday.  As many of you know, my family does not celebrate birthdays.  But I think I was able to balance my families beliefs and Joey's beliefs very nicely.  He got to skype with his dad and open his presents that he and his nana and grandpa sent, while Christian watched.

Joey talking with Kathy and Dan

Then he got to do the same with his mom and Dan.  It was really cool.  I really do think that Skype is the coolest thing on the whole damn planet.  I really don't know what all these Military Families would do without it. 

All in all, a good day.  Some funny stuff always goes down.  I think the quote of the day goes to Eric (and sorry to those of you who already read this on Facebook):

Got out of the car this morning and Eric grabs my hand.
Me: I love that you still want to hold my hand.
Eric: it's just so I don't get run over.
Joey: dude. There's no cars.
Eric: you never know.
*then Eric drops my hand when we get to the side walk*
Me: sadface
Eric: *grabs my hand again* OK! But only until we get inside the school.
Lol!

OH!  Two quotes of the Day thanks to Justin:

Justin:  Hey Dad.  Eric invited Ms. Melanie for dinner. But don't worry, it was a mom-approved message.

 

 

First Day of School Follies...

 

 

 

Crazy Kiddos!

So the first day of school was today.  I think it went well for the boys.  I have attached photos and stories that the boys brought home...

Joey's Story:

I had fun in my class, fun in recess and fun in everything.  Mrs. Terry was good. 
(LOL)

Justin's Story:

It was AWESOME.  I had a great time.  My favorite class is going to be Pre-AP Science.  I LOVED it.  My teacher had us pick an animal that we can identify with.  I chose a rabid squirrel, because I'm crazy and like to eat nuts.

Me:  Huh huh you said you like to eat nuts. Huh huh!

Justin:  That's not what I meant!  I meant I like to eat squirrel nuts.

Me:  Huh huh, you like to eat squirrel nuts huh huh!

Justin:  Yeah, you got me on this.  Good.

 Jeremy's Story:

(He went through every class and I started losing track, because this kid can talk LOL but here's what I took away)
So, I think I'm going to like all my classes.  I made four friends today, and I think I'm going to like it there!  All my teachers seem pretty cool, but I'm worried about my History teacher; she seems like she might not take any of my crap.  (LOL)

Eric's Story:

So mom, I walk in, and pick someone and say, "Hey, do you like Lego Ninjago?"  And he said, "YES!"  So then we decided that we should be friends.  And you know what else?  Coy's in my class, and he's only one of my best buds.  This is going to be AWESOME. 






Favorite Quote of the day:

Me:  Hey Jeremy, I have brown paper bags if you want to use those instead of a bag.

Jeremy:  Yeah, I'll take a sack.

Justin:  Huh huh huh Sack.
