Living the Middle and Jr. High dream


School is almost over!! 3 more days!! 

Cam came home with a t-shirt saying that he was picked as the PE student of the semester.  I made him put on the shirt and look cool while I took a picture.  I tried to convince him that he should wear it tomorrow to school but he said that was really uncool and that he would not.


Julia did pretty well at her school's awards night.  She received an award for straight As all year and a special award in Language Arts.  This came as no surprise.  Yesterday she brought home some of her writing that she wrote throughout year.  When I first started reading it, I didn't realize that she wrote it.  I thought it was some sort of assigned reading she had brought home.  She is good.

She also got a plaque for perfect attendance.  Cam was annoyed and wanted to know where his plaque was for perfect attendance.  I guess the Junior High doesn't give out plaques.  Imagine that. :)

Apparently my kids were all healthy as a horse this year and/or their mom is a stickler for going to school because all four kids didn't miss a day of school.

Few random thoughts:
Cameron has had his PE clothes stolen out of his PE locker twice this year.  I told him that I wasn't paying for another set so he better go to the lost and found pick some out and bring them home to make them his own.  Seriously, who steals PE clothes?

Julia came home today with her PE clothes for the year but lost two shoes from two different pair of running shoes.  So she had brought home two left shoes.  What in the world?!?

Cameron had to make a rocket out of a pop bottle for science.  We spent the better part of Saturday making it. Today they launched them. He said his didn't fly very well.  When asked where his rocket was, he said, "Oh, I threw it away after class."
