Odds and Ends: A Little Update

She's been soooooooo close before, but this is the first time Shayla ever received "All As" on her report card! We are so happy for her and she's assured us, "Don't worry. It'll never happen again. Things are getting really hard in 5th grade." What a hoot! It seemed like every quarter of 3rd and 4th grade she got a B in something. I always say, "Grades don't matter," and I believe that strongly, but it's so nice to see her so happy. (Quite frankly, what made me happy was hearing her teacher at parent/teacher conferences tell us how polite she is.)

Miss Shayla had a get together with school friend Friday night and she went to two parties with girls from school on Saturday; therefore, to drive the socialite to all of her parties, Shayne stayed home from the Ohio State game. I was so glad Paw Paw wanted to go with me. I didn't realize he'd never been to an OSU game before and we had a wonderful day together. Go, Bucks!


After we did a little TPing at the Bowermans, Shayla wanted to carve a jack-o-lantern so she picked a pumpkin from my outside decorations and had a little fun. (P.S. The sweet Bowermans sent is a thank you - yes, a thank you for TPing them. We love them! And.....we're sleeping with one eye opened! Shayla remembered a time from years ago when the Bowermans caught her in their yard because she was wearing her light up shoes, but she had forgotten the time they were TPing us and Shayne drove their van down the road to hide it - only to discover their baby was buckled up in her car seat sleeping. Good times, great friends, great memories!)

I hope you and yours are having a great week!
