I just kinda want something salty, right now.

Thank you to my neighbor, Kristen, for sending over some tasty gingersnap cookies! I understand that she will take some baklava as a fair trade.

Rachel helped me make baklava for my mother to take to my Aunt Loly this weekend. I thought it was a sincere compliment to learn that it was the only thing she asked for from my mom for Christmas. I got her hooked a few years back. Southerners, for the most part, love pecans. My mom is trying to talk me into making some praline pecans. I just might.

Conference time is here. Michael and I just got back from our conference with Noah's teacher. His test scores are great, but he is struggling in Social Studies. She said she would have someone come in and watch Noah's handwriting. We feel that his lack of fine motor creates a filter that slows him from getting his work done and legible. He can talk ALL DAY LONG, but writing is so hard...just the physical act.
Tomorrow we meet with Eve's teacher. I have to ask her about the shiner Eve came home with today. She said a boy in her class threw a chair and didn't apologize. The elementary school has a wonderful nurse named Carolyn that helped her feel better.

Aaron went to a Marshmallow War at a friend's house, after school. He came home with a few scratches, but had a good time.

Take care...and watch for flying chairs!
