Smart Kids! SPOILED, too!

Today we had parent-teacher conferences for Mary and Keith--which means that we got their report cards last week. Yeah. Those two are SMART. And Mary is getting better (and not so frustrated) at math (she only missed two questions on the state-required tests). And Keith has suddenly turned mature "overnight" and started actually checking his work (we'll see if this sticks--and if he continues to improve on his organizational skills). Good report cards.

I've now lost count on how many days Izzy has stayed dry--and in her underwear, too! She finally seems to have kicked this!

So...since John is going to be out of town this weekend (Fantasy Baseball Draft--that time of year AGAIN?) and since Izzy was doing so well, we went ahead and took her to Build A Bear last Sunday. And since the other two's report cards were so good, and since they were begging and pleading with those sorrowful eyes, we got them each another one, too. (IF I ever promise a BAB trip again--only the promised one gets to go!)

But we drew the line at buying the critters clothes. I mean, seriously--those toys are EXPENSIVE! Especially that @#$% black lab Izzy picked out! Take your critter and BE HAPPY, you three!! (They were.)


Um, anyway, we had an enjoyable trip to the mall and wished every Sunday could be so pleasant....
