I Am Soooo Getting an "A"

I am so proud of my 1st grade project George had to turn in today. George got the project assignment a good few weeks ago, and of course I am instilling very good values in him by doing it the day before it is due. He had to do a report on tarantulas, and make a model of one. I was not in the mood to have to run to the store to get pipe cleaner and all of the appropriate items to make one, so we got creative. If you don't know, tarantulas are hairy and have 8 eyes. (My kids teach me stuff all the time) So, this is what we did.......took some foam from a flower arrangement I had, washed off an SOS pad (for the hairy body), and painted 10 straws (tarantulas apparantly have fangs). We glued the SOS pads onto the foam, stuck the straws in the foam, glued paper circles for the eyes,and there you go....tarantula. Here are some pics.....



When my brother went to Cal, I wrote a paper for him. I didn't do very well....I think I got a D. Marcus was not very happy with me. So, I'm not exactly cut out for Cal Berkeley, but I think I will shine in 1st grade....can't wait to get my A!!! ps...I didn't do it all.....George painted, put everything in their place, and cut the legs. All I did was work the glue gun for the eyes so he didn't burn himself, but I am still taking the credit!

About Me

My photo
OK...here it goes. I am a mother of 5 crazy boys....ages 10 months to 11 years. I have been married for twelve and a half years to an even crazier boy!!! I am not sure how he has put up with me for so long, and then I remember that he is as big of a goofball as me! I get to stay at home with the boys, but I work about 6 whole hours a week teaching fitness classes. I think I am funny when I remind Scott that I am independently wealthy (if you knew how much I made, you might think it is funny too)! I do love to work out, and without it I would be about 500 pounds and completely insane. Well, that about sums it up. I am looking forward to keeping a record of the completely abnormal behavior of my perfect family!
