"Wheaties" - the Breakfast of Champions...

I have been in a blogging slump... not because of lack of things to blog about... just pretty much a lack of desire to blog... Or maybe because I'm not sure where to start with all the things I should blog about... (Any other bloggers feel that way... why does blogging stress me out sometimes??? Could it be those friends who REMIND me that I am behind in my blogging??? I know people, I know! :) )

Anyway... today's entry is about my cute Tayler. What a joy she is... I love that she tells me EVERYTHING (at least I THINK she does.) Each day I ask her for the drama of the day... which involves all things "Middle School like"... meaning who is "going" with who, who broke up with who, who talked to who, who's mad at who,.... etc, etc, etc. (Makes me stinkin' glad I'm not back in 6th grade!!) But we always have a good chuckle about it all!!

Last week (@ 6:30 in the morning) Shane and I attended "The Breakfast of Champions" program at her school. This is held for all students who received at least 1 - 4.0 during the year. I was impressed at how many kids were there... what a great start for all of them in their "academic careers"!!

After the "lite" breakfast or "Honor Roll" as it was called, (and no offense here if you helped make those rolls... but they weren't very "honorable", they were nasty... pretty sure there were a lot of hungry smart 6th graders that day... glad I got to go home and get me some lucky charms!!) anyway... the principal announced that he would call names and the kids could come and get their box of "Wheaties"...

Tayler immediately turned to me and said, "That is disgusting, why would they give us a box of hot dogs????? What are we supposed to do? Put them in our locker?"

Apparently she thought he said "A box of Wienies".

Shane and I were dying at that... but then laughed harder when we were walking out... and she looked at her box with amazement and said, "O my heck, how did they get them to print "Breakfast of Champions" right on the box." (The theme for their program).

??????????????

She may be a straight 4.0 student... but we obviously aren't big Wheaties fans at our house.... (Sorry Dad). We'll keep her though... cuz she always makes me happy... even if she is growing up WAY too fast!!
