What? We raised a smart kid? This cannot be...

We had the first parent-teacher conference this year. It went surprisingly well. Unbeknownst to us, she says Sky is very smart and missed the honor roll by just a few points. His freak out sessions have nearly disappeared in class this year and he has stopped fighting with his arch nemesis, Jennifer, entirely. I guess he is maturing and he has really tried this year as far and homework and reading books without being held down and forced to. Yes, I am still talking about Skylar. His fondness of books definitely did not come from Mau, whose idea of a good book involves pop-up pages. Don’t get me wrong, nothing wrong with pop-up books.

FunkyB & Ted have agreed to partake in the annual Thanksgiving feast. FunkyB heard my infamous sweet potato casserole calling his name and Ted just likes food. Really, I have never had this guy complain about anything set on the dinner table and he irks the dog by never leaving anything for her to clean up.

After that, considering Mau works on Thanksgiving, we are going to Pittsburgh because my dad and his g/f are flying in there to visit my sister. I’m not sure why I want to pack up the dog and kid, spend money we don’t have on a hotel and drive 5 hours to spend multiple days with family but I guess they are pretty cool as far as family goes. We will see what my comments are AFTER I get back I suppose.

It must be that time of the year. The freaky guys are back in the park. Kari and I have encountered a particular one that we are keeping our eye on but for now is known as “Creepy Music Dude” and knows us by several different names.
