It's SNOWING....

Well I was wrong...I will admit it!! They were right this time!! So let's just see if it amounts to anything!!!

Let It Snow...

Well, all I've heard today is 50% chance of snow. So in my book that translates to 0%chance of snow. I am praying that I am completely wrong and that we wake up to a white ground tomorrow. That would be so nice. It would be even nicer if I wouldn't have to work. But supplying water to customers doesn't stop even if there is tons of snow. I remember working back in 2002, when all the ice was causing power outages...Davidson Water was still going strong. So I am sure that I will still be working tomorrow even if we wake up to snow.
Kyle has already been told that if there is snow, he will not have to come in. Kinda not fair since we both are employed by the same company but I wouldn't want him out there reading meters in that kind of weather. Plus his truck will slide everywhere. So I am relying on Kyle to take tons of pictures tomorrow if there is snow!!

All I can say is............PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SNOW!!!

Final Day...

Logan was very upset to see the last day of Spirit Week (a.k.a. Fun Week {per Logan}) go. He had so much fun dressing up every day. It actually gave him a reason to jump out of bed the first time we called for him! Yesterday was Red, White and Blue Day. Many would say...Oh what an easy day to do. Well, it's not! Especially for a boy. Everything that he had with those colors had prints on it or something was wrong with it according to Logan. It was very hard to make a final decision but we finally did. Thank goodness it was a cold day because the child wore 3 shirts!! I had to make sure he could move before we left the house. He wore a long sleeve navy shirt, with a white collared polo shirt over that and then a red t-shirt on top of all three. So the white collared was showing and the long sleeved blue shirt...and blue jeans!! He was happy with the end result!! I am just glad he could move and didn't sweat to death at school!! Enjoy:

My Future Money Maker

Today was "I wanna be_______ when I grow up". Logan wants to be a soccer player. He wants to play for Team USA. I am all for that because he also says he is never going to get married so that means he will have enough money to support his loving parents when he is rich! Today was an easy day because he had everything that he would need. Although he couldn't wear shorts so he had to wear his shin guards on the outside of his pants (kinda tacky) and I wouldn't let him take a soccer ball to school. I know...Mean mother but I just knew that he would have a hard time paying attention if he had a ball at his feet. Also, we let him wear the shorts on the outside of his pants so he looked funny but he atleast he was following all rules! I made sure he knew to take the shorts off if anyone said anything because I didn't want a phone call or email at work telling me to come and pick him up because he wasn't following the guidelines! Luckily, he didn't have to remove the shorts.
He really enjoyed this day. I only have one picture because once again we were running very behind this morning so Kyle made the picture this afternoon. Enjoy:

A Much Better Day...Tacky But Better...

Today was a much happier place in the Phelps Household. The morning started off right- No smart mouth; I was able to take some pictures; I was on time; He remembered his spelling book and the best of all NO EMAIL FROM THE TEACHER!! I really don't having anything else to share other than the Wacky/Tacky picture. And I must say...HE IS TACKY!! His dad picked out and dressed him this morning! After school he went to mom's and I prayed that she would tell all the mothers when they came to get their children, that we don't actually think this matches!! Tell me what you think. The picture really doesn't do it justice. *It's camo pants, and totally different camo long sleeve shirt, and Hawaiian button-up shirt, camo crocs and white socks!*

Boy Oh Boy....

I could scream!! Ever feel that way?? Oh my, Logan has truly pushed my buttons the past couple of days. He has gotten EXTREMELY sloppy with his handwriting and he is forgetting alot of things. Well, he was already in trouble this morning for being very smart mouth to me and Kyle so he had already pushed too many buttons. Well, I drop him off at school and I no more get started on my already stressful day and my email dings...I have an email from Miss Wright. I look at the clock and I see that it is only 8:20, thinking to myself and praying that he isn't in trouble I open the email. It reads:
Dear Mrs. Phelps,
Logan has left his spelling book at home the last two nights. Please make sure he brings it back tomorrow.
He needs to write or finish his sentences and do pages 36-37 tonight.
There is no need for you to leave work and bring it.

~Okay, so not as bad as I thought, or is it? Well, I decided to just make sure that he finishes it all tonight and make sure he puts his book back in his bookbag. So, when Kyle called me around 4:30 I told him to make sure Logan did those pages and that he finished his sentences.
I am thinking all along that the sentences where something to do with his spelling words. Boy, was I wrong. He had to write 15 sentences stating that "I will remember to bring my spelling book back to school." The thing that gets me is he had to write 10 yesterday because he didn't bring it, then today she told him to write 5 more times but because they were so messy and so unreadable he has to write them 15 more times!! So I get to spend my relaxing night standing over him making sure they are numbered correctly and that they are readable. He has to write one sentence, bring it to me, if it is readable, move to the next one! He has been doing this for 45 mins and we are only on number 3!! I've never seen so much erasing!! I don't know if the sloppy writing is because he is a boy or if it's because he doesn't care or laziness!! I don't know but after the stressful day I had a work, I so didn't need this!!! You would think after writing 10 sentences one day, you would remember your book. Let's see if he remembers after 15 sentences!
Kyle and I have a bet. We aren't going to remind him to put the book in his bookbag. We are going to see if it is still laying on his desk in the morning. If it is...I will get it and take it to her in the morning and then Logan will have to write 20 of my sentences...And they won't be so easy!!

Okay, on a funnier note...
The Tooth Fairy did come last night and she did have money so no IOU's (mom)! The only reason she had money was because she ordered Dusina's last night and luckily the delivery guy had change for a $5 (Thanks Josh!). Okay, so Logan puts himself to bed every night so we reminded him to put the tooth under there so just in case she comes she would be able to find it. Well, Mr Tooth Fairy went in there last night (Mr goes in before Mrs just to make sure the kids are asleep) well Mr couldn't find the tooth but Mrs decided to leave the money anyways. Well, this morning when Logan woke up, he starts getting dressed for school (He's very excited because of Spirit week) anyways, he forgets to look under his pillow. Well I remind him so he goes in there to look and he was very excited to find $2. But he came out calling her a "SUCKER" because he got to keep the tooth. He said he didn't put it under there because he wanted to see if she would still leave him money!! Man, I wish she would have known that because I guarantee you, there wouldn't have been any money under there this morning!!!

As I mentioned Spirit Week is this week. So far we have had fun picking out his clothes. I wish I would have taken pictures every morning but I'm doing good just to get us there on time! Monday was PJ day, and he won the best pj's in his class. Today was Dynamatic Duo day. He was Batman and his cousin, Trey was Robin. Tomorrow is Tacky/Wacky Day, Thursday is "I wanna be...Day" (he's going as a Team USA Soccer player-because that is what he is going to be when he grows up), and Friday is Red, White, Blue Day. The kids sure are having fun this week.

Tooth Fairy Is Coming Tonight...

Logan pulled out his 7th tooth today. Thank goodness the Tooth Fairy has dollar bills in her wallet!! He did it differently this time, normally he pulls it out during church or children's church but this time it was during class.
Just thought I would share his good news!
