August Happenings

By

Well now that we are back to school we are getting back into a school-year routine. Leah has loved her first two weeks of Kindergarten. We visit once a week at lunch time to help supervise the kiddos, and it is Wyatt's favorite day! The boys and I spend the rest of our days attempting to pack up the house to move, playing baseball, taking walks, discussing baseball, swinging, playing in in the sandbox, arguing about whether or not Wyatt can have another dessert, and unpacking the boxes I just packed up. :) Occasionally they take a nap at the same time and I get two loads of laundry done that day instead of one and maybe even clean something!  In the evenings, theyvlook out the window and wait for daddy so they can wrestle him.  Leah also started soccer, which is her first team sport. Poor Wyatt cant wait until hes old enough himself!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Persuasive Essays

By
My sixth grade class has been working on persuasive essays this quarter, and one of their first assignments was to write a persuasive piece on what Mr. and Mrs. Dainty should name their baby! They worked in partners, and they got to choose either a girl's name or a boy's name. Their responses were quite interesting and they have certainly given us some chuckles. Here are some of the highlights. (Spelling and grammar errors have been left in for comedic purposes.) Most Unique Supporting Details "Isabella is a perfect name because Queen Isabella helped supply Colombus for his trip across the sea. When we were younger we wished that there were famous people with our names. Many people may think Isabella is a weird name, but we think it is very beautiful." "I picked the name Tera because it is easy to spll , and Tera sownds like she will be smart like her mother. Her mother is so smarte . And she will want to be a techer like her."
