Book reports and Duck stamps

I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore. HA!
Katelyn had to do her first book report last night. I think she had 3 weeks to write it, but decided to wait until the last minute. I haven't done a book report for years, and she wanted my help. It's hard to help with something like that, when you haven't read the book. She was doing it on The Bridge to Terabithia. I've seen the movie, and last night, I had to skim the book. I'm not even sure she read the book, lol. Anyway, the teacher wanted some major details and the outline was the longest outline I've ever seen. Needless to say, I had to do some research online. How sad is that? It was only 4 paragraphs, and by the look of the outline, it needed to be about 3 pages. So I'm anxious to see what her grade is!! Say a prayer....
Update!: Katelyn got a 100% on her report! Phew! I guess my online searching and memory of the movie actually worked out! HA!

Hunter just finished his drawing for the Arkansas Junior Duck Stamp competition. It took him almost 2 months, from start to finish. I think he did an excellent job and he has such talent. Mrs. Blasdel teaches an art class once a week after school, that he attends, and he really enjoys it. He drew it free hand and then he colored it with some special kind of colored pencils. So special, you can't find them at Wal-Mart, lol.

We are very proud of him and his talent.
Good Luck Hunter!!
