Liam brought home a note saying that his class was having a valentine box contest! So excited because usually kids don't make boxes anymore (at Carthage at least where everything sucks). He said he wanted a robot. He and I sat down at the table and made most all of the robot together. Then Jeremy came in and said:"Oh, I bet I have some old parts we could put on it". Next thing I know those two have the coolest looking robot ever! It even had a plasma ball on top that actually worked!! Freaking awesome. Unfortunately, he didn't win the contest (I have no idea how but, whatever, it was just for fun). He loved it and we had a great time making it with him!
Then when I was at the kindergarten room yesterday, Amy told me that third grade was supposed to make boxes too! I felt SO STINKING BAD. I need a badge on it that says: BAD MOMMY. Asher had come home earlier in the week and gave me a class list for valentines and said he needed a valentine box. I asked if he was sure about that because I hadn't seen any note from his teacher. He went back to school and came home again and said that his teacher said he could make one if he wanted to. So, I assumed that she was just saying he could if he wanted because I still had not seen any note. Well, Amy said it was handwritten at the bottom of one of her daughter's notes. What the hell!?!?!?!? Seriously!??! When Asher got in the car after school he had clearly had a great time at his valentines party because he talked non-stop before all the other kids could say anything and had to show me everything he got. I didn't bring it up to him. But, how bad does it look that we went all out for Liam's box, made homemade valentines for Eden and Cullen, and literally sent Asher with only store bought Fun Dip valentines (that he specifically requested)?!?!?!?! I feel so bad. It was on my mind all day long. I'm sure Asher doesn't really care but, I feel like he always gets the short end of the stick no matter what. Ugh. So sorry, Asher. I love you.
