What's happening at the Reeds....

Adam bought a new pair of shoes from Amazon. He is already wearing a size 11 1/2--- that's almost half the size of Dennis.

Anna lost a tooth this week after begging me to pull it out for her.

I splurged and served shrimp for dinner one day last week.

Here I am going over Andrew's homework before school. The day before I got an email from his teacher letting me know that he had many unfinished assignments that were in his backpack. She also informed me that my sweet little guy pushed down a girl and pinned her arms behind her back after she bumped into him. Lovely--- hunh? According to him it was more of a pinch--- but it still is not acceptable for many reasons. One, violence is not the answer. Two, you should never ever be rough with a girl. Three, this kind of behavior is wrong. Four, you are setting the wrong example for others. Five, it goes against what Mom and Dad have taught you. He wrote apology notes to both his teacher and this little girl and had to finish up all of his late work, some of which I had to erase and have him redo because it was so sloppy. He also lost computer privileges for a few days. Till Andrew can prove that he has changed his behavior we are taking it day by day.

And it wasn't even a dress-up day! Caleb loves purple, loves to be different, and loves to find creative ways to express himself.

How much more spoiled can you get? Here is big brother Andrew pushing Dennis around and around with big sister Anna feeding him a bite of chocolate with each pass.
