First Day of School......




This year Mr. Johnson got to take the 2RedHens to school of the 1st day because I had to be in Huntsville by 8:00 for P&C classes and so...... I didn't get to drop them off..... it made me very sad to miss the 1st day drop off..... but it went off without a hitch..... well, that is Mr. Johnson's story and he's sticking to it! So, now we officially have a 3rd grader and a 1st grader..... oh, how time flies..... this too makes me sad..... They love their teachers, "a" got Mrs. Goss and "e" got Mrs. Adams, {who happens to be the same teacher "a" had for 1st grade}.... so, here's to a great school year.... and to me passing the P&C test...... wish me luck....{I'm going to need it!}

I've had some close ones......


The hen that you see above has been cracking us up lately...... Mr. Johnson and his family have a tradition {or old wives tale} that you don't tell bad dreams before breakfast {it's bad luck and if you do, they'll come true}. So, a couple of mornings ago we were sitting at the breakfast table and "A" was telling her dream and she stopped and said she shouldn't tell it because it just might come true.... Well, I spoke up and said that I had never heard of that until I met her daddy and none of my bad dream had ever came true..... well, "A" spoke up then and said " me either but I have had some close calls lately!" Then she proceeded to tells us about some of her "close calls".... I haven't laughed so hard in a long time....... this kid you see ..... she cracks us Up!

You see your left hand.....


On the way home from church last night this is the conversation that took place between the 2RedHens and Mr. Johnson..... and Momma is still laughing about it!
The girls and their daddy were talking about who they would come to for help with school work as they get older..... like daddy for math, momma for history (which in it's self is funny since daddy is a history major) anywho.... the bighen tells the littlehen that she can come to her with help with 1st grade stuff like words, right and left......"then she proceeds to impart some of her "wisdom" {on a side note if you know "a" you know she is just full of this kind of stuff ..... she alos picks the most random times to impart it....}...." you know your left hand makes a "L" when you look at it" daddy asks "Addie who taught you that?" Addie "I just know that kind of stuff, daddy." when "E" all of the sudden pipes in and says " but both hands makes an "L" so how does that help me any?" "Y'all are crazy!" Addie tries to explain that the "L" is backward on the right hand, but the laughter from the front seat was distracting her.......
