Well Chipmunk made it too school today & survived!
I'm hoping he improves daily and is over the worse of the virus.
I went for his first parents evening at juniors and was pleased with what his teacher was doing to support him and the effort Chipmunk is making at school.
He got a nice comment from his maths teacher who says he is trying hard in maths & that his maths homework is great.This pleased me because we do like the maths homework (surprisingly!) it's very hands on maths and quite enjoyable.
There was a nice comment on how well Chipmunk was doing in ballet! I knew he liked ballet more than he was letting on!
Apparently he did a really good leap last week!
And the teacher said he has a very good sight vocabulary.
I also got lots of Kipper,Chip & Biff magic key books to read to him over half term,which pleased me,we have read 2 already and enjoyed them,now we can catch up on the earlier adventures of Chip & gang!
Im very pleased with Chipmunk,he has made me proud :-)

Making A Harvest Box
Tomorrow is Chipmunk's harvest festival and I have just whipped up a small harvest box,just in case he goes to school.
Chipmunk is much better today and I'm hoping that he may be well enough to go to school tomorrow.
At juniors the harvest festival is different.They ask for small donations of the usual tinned,dried food or toiletries and they are going to donate the boxes to a homeless shelter in the nearby town.
I'm hoping that Chipmunk will begin to take on board the work that the charity does and how some people are not lucky enough to have a snug,safe home.Sad but unfortunately true

Dear So And So
Dear Felt Tips,
Arghhh just what do you think you are doing!!!!
Out of the goodness of my heart I let you go to school with my youngest son and how do you repay me!?!
You write on brand new school shirts!
HOW DARE YOU!!!!!
I'am soooooooooooooo cross with you!
You are now BANNED from school until you learn to write on paper.
To the cupboard you go and DON'T come out !
from a very angry mummy!
________________________
Dear School Water Bottle,
I do not want to seem unkind but I'm beginning to wonder what your point is!
Every day I fill you with fresh water and put you in a plastic bag in my sons school bag.
Every day you come back untouched.
So then I wash you again,rinse you out, dry you, freeze the middle bit of you that keeps you cool.
Then next morning it all begins again!
Why?
Is this not madness?
Please let me know...what is the point of you?
From a puzzled mum
_________________
Dear Boys Who Play Rugby,
Why do you have to be so rough?
I would like my middle son to stay in one piece thank you!
Preferably with all his body parts intact!
And as for the state of his rugby shirt!The collar is ripped off!
And I'm supposed to mend that am I ?
Grr!
From a worried Mum

Dear Mind,
You can do this.
Only 5 school days till half term!
Keep pushing on,it will all be ok!
From a optimistic owner

This is my first time I have linked up and done on Reasons To Be Cheerful,I've seen lots of people do it though and I think it's always good to count your blessings so here goes;
1. My youngest son can be so positive ~ he was so excited to see his sunflower coming into bloom earlier this week.Such a simple thing but his enthusiasm was lovely to see and it did make me smile.
2. I'm loving the new books I found my youngest son this week.We will be spoilt for choice at bedtime this week :-)
3. My mum had her 66th birthday this week,having healthy parents around is always a reason to be cheerful
4. This a backward upside down RTBC! My youngest is poorly with a sore throat and temp and I'm just glad to be at home too look after him and not at work. Ive wrapped him up in a blankie and am giving him lots of tlc.
5. And lastly,the weather is beautiful again,bright sunshine and clear blue skies and that makes me very cheerful!

Things I Know
Oh what do I know this week!
I know I'm finding it hard to comment on your blog Shae ( me being technologically challenged again ),so please don't think I'm rude never leaving a comment,Im still in the process of trying!I will do it!If I can work out how to get a badge I must surely find a way to comment!It will be done :-)
I know that my youngest son's transition to junior school has not been easy. This is wearing us down.Every day there is a new problem and half term cannot come quick enough for me or him!
I know that when things are on your mind it is hard to focus on everyday things.
I know I'm really tired.
I know I'm going to think of some positive things to say now!
I know that my mum had a lovely birthday party this week and it was nice to see my nephews and niece together, I know that families are very important for sure.
I know that the weather is really changing and darker nights are drawing in. I like the dark nights though, I like to sit with the boys all safe inside and look out at the darkness outside - strange but true!
I know that felt tip stains do come out of white shirts - woohoo!
What I don't know is why a certain child keeps purposely writing on his shirts with felt tip - any suggestions gratefully received!
Go and visit Shae's blog,its Yay For Home and see what other things people know!
