I should have known, of course, that when I bragged on my kids about how well they were using their alarm clocks.... it would all blow up in my face. Ha! For the last two days, Madalynn has had her whole routine and therefore her whole day ruined by a mess up with the alarms. First Blake went in her room and woke her up before her alarm went off. Second time, his alarm woke her up and she had to wait 10 minutes for her alarm to go off before she could get up. Kids logic is weird sometimes. Lesson learned by Mom~ set both alarms for the same time, exactly. And I'm going to cross my fingers this time.

Best Gift Ever
This year the kids received an alarm clock as a Christmas gift from their uncle. Blake's alarms and will roll around the room if you let it so you have to actually get up to catch it.
These have been a lifesaver for me. Both kids wanted to set their alarm and get up for school on their own. So now that school has started back I no longer have the dreaded task of waking them up. That blessed alarm clock does it!!!
Neither child is really a morning person and they do much better without much human interaction in the morning. They have actually been up and ready ahead of the time they leave for school. It has been wonderful. I hope I haven't jinxed us by bragging on them a little.

Blake's Final Art Project
 |
| the missing eyeball is inside the mug!! |
I think this ceramic mug is awesome! It perfectly displays his quirky sense of humor and I have it proudly placed on the mantle. His artwork is hanging on the walls of our home and some of it dates back to when he was in 2nd grade. I love that he is creative and artsy, I am not good at these things so I am glad Bryan passed him this gene. I hope he continues to pursue art in high school if for no other reason to give himself a healthy outlet of expression.
