I am in the running for a round trip airfare paid ticket to Connecticut, to meet a friend I became acquainted with through blogging. She is a super fun person and is holding this contest. I entered a funny story titled "Grapejuice Floaties, Now Marry Me." The person whose story receives the most votes will win a trip to meet this generous lady, whom I'm hoping to meet. The voting ends tonight-midnight. I am ahead for now but there is a story coming up from behind out of nowhere and I would so, so, appreciate your help. Her blog is www.becausemomsaidso.blogspot.com and the voting is on the sidebar on the right. "Grapejuice, Floaties" Just go there and cast a vote for me, please. Thanks so much-you're awesome! ♥♥susettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091922437671047257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861662738910762931.post-14385153766109576082009-03-19T21:06:00.000-06:002009-03-19T21:06:00.000-06:00Wow, crazy, no wonder people say English is the ha...Wow, crazy, no wonder people say English is the hardest language to learn.

I always worry that Dylan and I choose the wrong thing, but he hasn't gotten any bad marks yet. I love, love, love Jake's drawings. They are my favorite. Dylan is way into bionicles, too. I got him a couple for his Easter basket, and I'm pretty sure he'll be excited about it.Karhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109952872373436694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861662738910762931.post-15830786335416621662009-03-19T10:51:00.000-06:002009-03-19T10:51:00.000-06:00I used to get stumped on the homework pages too st...I used to get stumped on the homework pages too stupid Harcourt!

And then you'll have to remind him that he had easy homework in kindergarten too. And it's only going to get harder and more time consuming as the years roll on. And require more time as you get to do it with multiple kids every afternoon. But wait! I already went to school- and did my homework! You mean I get to do it all again- three more times!

Maddie didn't get any I don't think. Oh well, I just wish it wasn't as much and that page you were talking about with the pictures and the rhyming, it's too much for them and sometimes I even question myself about what the answer is. You have to love kindergartners though, they're great. Syd came home with a picture from Jacob the other week, it has a bunch of bionicle guys on it, so cute! The whole teaching them to read is a NIGHTMARE!!! It's so hard to teach them the sounds etc... It's so nice to see Maddie get it now but I'm SOOO dreading teaching Syd, it will be VERY interesting to say the least!!!Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222863320675847986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861662738910762931.post-52156635313693289312009-03-18T14:07:00.000-06:002009-03-18T14:07:00.000-06:00I agree on this English language thing.
