One week down

The first week of school is over - not sure how many more to go, but the first one went well. It was especially nice since there was no homework. Randy and Keith both like their teachers and their classes. Monday I'll be helping out in Keith's class and Tuesday I'll be in Randy's class. Keith will have homework on Monday and according to Randy's teacher, they haven't received their books, reading packets or spelling program yet -- so Randy may not have homework yet. We'll see. I started my "school year" schedule at work. I'm back to Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. That means I'm off today!!! Yay!!! We're all home together. And my big plan is to do laundry. I'm considering going outside to cut down some shrubs - that depends on how hot it is out there - I don't want to melt or shrivel up like a raisin - whichever the sun might do to me.
Yesterday Dad - also known as Jeff or Homer, was in command of 4 boys for most of the day. Keith is friends with a boy named Kirby. Kirby happens to be the brother of Carter. Carter happens to be a friend of Randy's. Randy and Carter were in the same class last year (not this year, though) and this year Keith and Kirby are in the same class. On Thursday Keith asked me what our phone number is - I know, I should teach him that one of these days - anyway, he asked me to write it down twice so he could give it to two friends, so they could come over. He delivered our phone number/message to his friends on Friday. He got a very interesting response from Kirby... while chanting something like "you are my master", he kept bowing down in front of Keith over and over and over again. I watched as I was walking back to the car. I couldn't help cracking up -- kids are so funny. Well anyway, Carter and Kirby spent most of Saturday at the Hawke house - and to think I missed it all because I was at work!
Have you heard Kid Rock's new song, All Summer Long? I don't care if you think he ripped off Werewolves of London or Sweet Home Alabama - I think that song is great!!!!!!! I can't stop singing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA That's the video!
