Help!

What do you do when your child is the class bully?! I am so upset and sick about this that I just don't know what to do!

my little indian


Today Brayden came home from school dressed as an Indian. His teacher never ceases to amaze me. Once again she has proven to me that she was born to be a teacher to 5 year olds. She put on a pow wow complete with outfits and makeup for each child, canoes, bonfire and tee pees. Brayden was so sad to hear the bell ring signaling the end of the day. Last week they learned all about dinosaurs and went on a dig where they dug up bones of some sort. It is no wonder Brayden loves school so much. I'd go back to school too if I could dig in the dirt and roast marshmallows!

Timber!




Wow I don't quite know what happened to November. I realized today that we are already knocking on December's door. We have been busy this month getting ready for the holidays and working on lots of schoolwork. We are determined to help Kaity pass the third grade and it is taking a lot of extra TLC. Our biggest accomplishment this month was getting rid of the huge dead oak tree in the backyard. It died fully this summer and every time we had the threat of a hurricane I held my breath and prayed for it to pass us by. Last Thursday we decided that whatever it cost it must come down before nature took it down onto our house. Monday the crew re showed up at our house with a crane and 7 men. It took them about 6 hours but we finally have a yard ready for a pool!:) Now I just have to figure out how to pay for a pool! good thing I have a few months to figure that one out! Anyway we are sooo glad to have the tree gone and I had a very cool Monday when I watched it being cut to pieces.
