Surf's-up and School's OUT!

Well, it's official...School is OUT! Katherine did her testing for homeschool on Tuesday and passed- straight into 6th grade. Matthew made principles honor-roll all year -I'm sorry...does it sound like I am bragging? I AM- I am so proud of them both! AND my step-daughter Nicole has made enough credits to graduate 6 months early (even though I still want her to WALK next year with a cap and gown so we can go SEE -HINT-HINT). Smart kids are great! But what happens when they start knowing MORE than you?
I went to Matt's class today to help with the END OF THE YEAR class party. I took my surfboard prop and took pictures for the WHOLE 2nd grade. Matt missed celebrating his birthday at school by only 5 days, so anyway, I took 2 big cookie cakes in today so he could cheat -early-. He tried to play me about getting gifts early today too but he's going to be waiting on his gifts till the following weekend anyway, because his birthday falls on a Tuesday anyway ... Do you see how many times I wrote "anyway"? Isn't that annoying? I was in this group one time (don't ask for what) and every time this one girl would talk she would say "LIKE".

"LIKE I don't know why I do it but uhm, LIKE I just do, LIKE, every time. LIKE, I wish I didn't but LIKE, that's why I am here, to LIKE, talk about it and LIKE, stop doing it. LIKE, you know?"

I was SOOOO bored listening to this girl, that I "LIKE", counted every time she said, "LIKE" and almost reached across 3 people to "LIKE", choke her. This was a group at church I was in to help YOU stop "bad habits" (Notice I said YOU because I don't have any bad habits... well ugh, anymore). Anything from drinking (AA) to SAYING -LIKE- TO MANY TIMES!!!

ANYWAY, LIKE, Matt's class had a really good time and I made a storybook video of all the pictures I took with the music from -what else?- RAPPER'S DELIGHT!
1.) Because it's LIKE, a really LOONNNGGGG song and I needed that for all the pictures I wanted to use.
2.)I LIKE, like it!

And I would post some of the pictures on Flickr for you all to see but I can't BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY USED UP ALL MY ROOM ON THAT WEB-PAGE TIL' NEXT MONTH, which is only 7 days away -COUNT 'EM- I did...

Oh yeah, Matt got a haircut called a BLOWOUT. And a design on the back of his neck that is WAY COOL!
Summer? Let me tell ya... my kids are ready!
