Bring on the Moonshine

1.  A couple of weeks ago I ran my first race in 2 1/2 years.  It was small.  So I placed first in my age group and won a handy dandy moonshine jug.

2.  The twins finished their dolch word lists.  We have been working on them since October.  Each list is ten words long and there are 22 lists.  So they are reading simple books now, and we hope to expand that over the summer.

3.  Pierce got glasses, which you may have noticed from Monday's post.  He was getting headaches.  Turns out he had a bit of a lazy eye that was so mild we didn't notice it.  Hoping the glasses will help, so that he won't need to have surgery.

4.  The other day we were at Target and this older, rather hairy man was walking to his car, with his shirt off.  The twins started discussing this:
Cort, "Wow, look at all that hair".
Reid, "He sure is hairy".
Cort, "Do you think he is a werewolf?"
Reid, "He could be part wolf."
Pierce, deadpan, no humor, "Maybe he is just having a bad hair day."
I start cracking up.
Pierce, "Mom?  What's so funny?"

5.  Speaking of summer, I hit the book sale at the library and picked up a ton of fun kid's books for this summer, at 25 cents a piece.  In my house, there can never be too many books, and there isn't a kindle to be found!
