The Bumble Bee Rates a "5" on the Ouch Meter!

It's Friday yay! But before I get into that let me tell you our funny story from Thursday after school. We got home and our bumble bee friend was waiting at the porch. Our friend flies back and forth from our weeping cherry tree to the clover that is overtaking our yard. Yes...we have tons of clover and I don't care...It's green and that is all that matters...especially in our neighborhood. No homeowners association here! hahahaaaaaa anyway...our bee friend just hovers once we get home everyday and watches us. Then he flies around on all sides of us both to check us out. This totally freaks Greyson out to no end. He darts back and forth...hovers some....darts some more...while Greyson runs around screaming, "a bee!...a bee!" so...yesterday i say, "Bumble bees won't sting you honey. He's just checking us out." That's when Greyson screams, "Mommy Lynn, I saw it on Bee Movie. A bumble bee rates a 5 on the ouch meter...HELLO!" I am sure most all of the neighbors heard him he screamed it so loud. hahahaaaa Needless to say...a mommy can't argue with that! So...I opened the door and Greyson nearly hurt himself trying to get inside before the bee fly back at him again. Good thing I had the door open in time. So...remember people...a bumble bee rates a 5 on the ouch meter! Be afraid..be very afraid!

Today I hung out for a while at school with Ms Kathy. It was after lunch and we watched the kids play some on the play ground and then took them in just about an hour before dismissal. It was fun. the tadpoles in Greyson's class are growing fast and Suzy and the kids should be looking at frogs soon....Monday perhaps? Not really...just teasing. :) It should be pretty soon though...not sure how long that tadpole to frog transition takes. Mine took around 9 months of baking but I think he cooked too long...he was 10lbs 4 ounces with a very large head. :0 Thank God for c-sections or I would still be walking funny! Anyway...I digress as usual. Tonight we went to Greyson's belt test for his purple Karate belt. He is about half way now to a black belt and if he makes that it will be amazing. He has a white, orange, yellow, blue, green, green stripe and now a purple belt so far. Yay big man...work it out. So congratulations my sweet guy...you did it again! We were a little scared this time due to him having some coordination issues with some of the kicks he was required to do. Mostly the jumping kind where he has to jump up and then kick. It's not pretty people...really but after breaking it down into step by step for him he has actually gotten it now. Master Hartsell was very helpful in ensuring that he got it before belt test time. It still isn't the prettiest thing to watch...but it works for now. I can't tell you how much I love that little spastic guy. He rates a 10 on my love & hugs meter! Good night all...hope you all have a most wonderful weekend in this awesome weather we are having. Enjoy the sun...we are.
