In the past few months, I've noticed K spends a lot of time combing his hair in the mornings. So I asked him if all his friends are doing that too. He said yes, they're always in the washroom at school fixing their hair, except for maybe one boy who doesn't care. It's interesting watching the kids as they go through various stages of life. For the latest Science project, the teacher told them to choose partners. No one chose K or his friend J. So K decided to choose him and problem solved, sort of. All the kids tried to grab the smartest kids to work with, for obvious reasons. He says they'll do just fine and I told him he did the right thing, as long as they check in for lots of guidance.
M and I are trying to put an Ikea TV stand together, darned if the screws will go in.
I'm puttering about the house today, choosing things that can start going down to the basement. A friend may drop by to have a peek at the basement. The fireplace guy is dropping by to check the gas lines and show us how to turn the pilot light on and the contractor is supposed to pop in later on as he forgot to nail one of the kickboards to the kitchen.
The driving instructor took L on a sort of main road last night. I don't know how I'm going to do that. He seems to have nerves of steel along with brakes on the other side of the car. Well, to do a job like that, you must be pretty adventurous. A friend also suggested we take her out when it's snowing too.

I'm probably not supposed to do this, but I put together Ikea furniture with a cordless screwdriver (just use the bit that works with those funky screws). Do you do that? Those little "tools" that are included with the furniture kill my hands.
Ugh, I dread having to watch Roxi do her driving lessons. You're so brave! Best to leave all that to the professionals, but you are probably supposed to take her out so she can practice, right?!
That is cute (shhhh!) about K and his hair. Roxi discovered her brush in sixth grade. But I think that is the difference between girls and boys.
Hey Christine
Oh the girl had the pick the partner thing and would always feel bad for the person who did not get picked. Then she realized it's no so bad to pick that person because you are sure to get lots of mom help, this will ensure you get a great mark! Smart boy you have there :o)
Remember when assembling Ikea, they don't give you extra parts hehehehe
Oh driving yes, I took the boy for lessons and the next day I went to the hairdresser to see if she could get the grays out or if they were scared into me permanently! LoL
jpra, you're right, a cordless screwdriver is what we needed, we're so not handy! The fireplace guys zapped them in for us!
and yes, she needs her practice. one of her friends is already out on the highway, but her dad is a very adventurous, fearless sort.
mom, that's so funny about the grey hair lol. we all know about ikea furniture don't we?
