School Follow Ups!

The first day of school was fantastic. Mr. Frogman and Monkeydude Jr would not let either Wolfman or myself in the front door until we heard in detail about their day at School.

Mr. Frogman is so excited. One more year and off to Middle School or Junior High (whatever they call it now) he goes. He is so growing up.

He has a teacher at school Mrs. P. She has been with him since the 4th grade. This year she is only with him 2 days a week. I so miss her and all our conversations.

The Sheriffs Mom and I are finally catching up after a long summer of not being able to get together. Curriculum night was tonight and I found Mr. Frogmans desk with no issue. I sat down and of course The Sheriff and Mr. Frogman get to sit next to one another (they are the closest of friends at school). I asked both Sheriffs mom with a grin and a giggle if that was a wise decision. She laughed with me. We know how they are together.

Mr. Frogman has 2 male teachers. He is so excited about this year and how things are going to go. He gets to comment on his teachers website and parents have access to go in and read. I can see he is going to do great things both this year and in the future. Considering I am really scared for next year. I think mom has more trepidation for what is to come than he does.

**SIGH**

They grow up so fast.....He is now almost as tall as me and I am 5'10"

Funny story of the night...things I would never expect from Mr. Frogman...

Sitting around the table tonight (most of these things happen around the dinner table) we have been discussing jokes getting old and dying. When they die it's time to stop telling these jokes and put them to rest.

Wolfman was teasing Little Sister about trying to ask me a question over dinner (I don't even remember what the question was) he kept interrupting and saying, "Huh? What? What'd ya say?"

He wore it out time and again. It was funny for the first few times but got old rather quickly. Mr. Frogman looked at Wolfman and said, "It's time to put it to rest." Then he proceeded to pretend to play a trumpet and play the song you would play at a funeral (Taps?) to lay someone to rest before the gun salute (for those that have earned that salute). I don't remember off the top of my head what it's called. I started laughing as I was not expecting him, after our discussion of putting jokes to rest, to play that song.

I have to start making notes at dinner to remember all the good laughs we have. We are having a great time.

There is more to come and I will try to post on a regular basis.
