Hi and welcome to my lil' corner of the world wide web (i think i'm the only person that still uses that term). Anyhoo, I'm glad you're here. This is my "family blog" or should I say "momma blog" because let's be honest...it's a blog of my ramblings. It's a place where I post the adventures of my little family and my love for food and photography. This is where I will brag about my perfect kids and my perfect husband...how they never leave their wet towels on the floor, how they eat their vegetables, and how they never ever throw tantrums. Ha!!! not even close :P

We are a normal-average (ok maybe not so normal) family with two crazy wonderful lil' kids who are good most of the time sometimes. And same goes with my hubby. They all drive me crazy at times but I LOVE them to the moon and back.

Thanks again for stoppin' by!

TJE School's Student Of The Week

**Warning this is a bragging blog post** hehehe


This week was 'Report Card Week'
We are so proud of Christopher, because not only did he have a TERRIFIC report card...he came home with a note stating that he was chosen as the school's student of the week. We were so impressed with that letter because for a second I thought it said "class student of the week" then I realized it was "school's student"...my first response was "Wow...how???" hahaha

His name was on the school's marquee...and you know me, I just had to snap a pic or two of Christopher next to it. And when I walked him to class (yes I was my son to class sometimes) I saw that there was a bulletin board dedicated to the "student of the week" at the entrance so I had to take a couple of pics of him :)


What's the big deal about Kindergarten report cards???

Well, at the beginning of the school year and during the firs parent teacher orientation the parents were told that we shouldn't expect much at this time. The grades are from 1-4 (4 masters concept on his own; 1 doesn't understand or grasped the concept...something like that). The teacher told us that Kindergarten kids will normally/usually receive 1s and 2s...until their last report card where they have learned everything and will receive 3s and 4s.

So knowing that, I honestly expected to see 1-2 on his first report card...but instead I saw mostly 3-4s. There was maybe around 10-15 graded criteria and Christopher received two 2s and the rest 3-4s. And at our first parent teacher conference his teacher told us how much she enjoys Christopher in his class and that he was a smart cookie...and doing an exceptional job. I almost started tearing up when she told me all that. It makes me so happy that his first year of school and that he's doing good.

Ok enough braggin' about Christopher....well, I warned you :)
