We spent last weekend in Tifton. The minute we walked in the door we were given a gift (seems to happen a lot these days...don't know what we'll do when that stops!). Sonny had picked out books ALL BY HIMSELF for The Boy. The following is one of the four books we were given. Note how it is all about counting coins and that the appropriate age for the book is 5, 6, or 7. Bless his heart. He says The Boy will be a genius. I better start saving my money because I won't be able to help him with his homework if he is!

On Saturday, Mom and I hit up the Children's Clothing Exchange that's held semi-annually (not bi-annually, Shelley). We strategized a little ahead of time about how to approach our clothing search and acutally came home with 8 cute little outfits totaling in under $100. One of the outfits had its original tag and was bought for $56. I paid $20 for it. Not too shabby, huh?




Here is one of Sonny's other selections. I believe we'll be able to handle this numbers book. I won't have to go by Sylvan to be tutored before reading it to him, at least. Y'all think I'm lying about my math skills. I subbed for Sherry in the after-school tutoring program at Eighth Street two years ago. She said "Oh, it'll be easy! They just do their homework and then get on computers." Yea, most of my kids wound up down the hall with Dianne because I couldn't help them with their EIGHTH GRADE math homework. I'm hanging my head.
