Shorty is graduating tomorrow night! I became his stepmonster when he was four years old and now he is a semi-adult.
On Saturday, he has his Eagle Scout Court of Honor. I was helping him with his script last night and when we got to the part where he gives his mom and dad the Eagle Parent pin, he said, "We have to put you in there." Yea me! But then we couldn't think of what to say about me. Well, I could think of lots of amusing things to say about me, but since he is a grumpy old man, he didn't appreciate them.
The Boy got his final report card and reading test results yesterday. The good news is he gets to go on to third grade next year. The great news is that he is reading at a fifth grade level. Woo!

Just FYI, the verification on this post is vwusck which looks to me like, "VW, you suck." Just thought you would find that humorous.
