December Saint: Friend of the Week

Who knew that becoming a parent would entail doing homework... HOMEWORK!

I wasn't good in school. Well I guess I should say I didn't like to apply myself. Which also means I'm a procrastinator and will wait until the VERY LAST min to do everything.

Hence -- I hated school!!!

So once I graduated I was relieved that I wouldn't have to do anymore HOMEWORK!

Until last week....

Last week we received a piece of paper from Ryker's school. A piece of paper that stated he had been chosen as "Friend of the Week".

Good for him! What a fun week he will have.

BUT

At the bottom of this paper it said "Parents please create a poster about your child and the things he/she likes to do, please bring it next Monday"

EXCUSE ME?

Create a poster?

Pretty sure that is HOMEWORK for a 2 1/2 year old.

What have I gotten myself into, having babies?? :)

So like I said.

Ryker is "Friend of the Week" this week.

And I'm a procrastinator.

Guess who didn't have a poster done on Monday!

Yeah this parent.

I definitely won Parent of the year this week.

I woke up at 4am Monday morning sat straight up in bed and said "OH MY GOODNESS... THE POSTER!!!" There was nothing to be done at that point. I wanted to make a nice poster at least, not just throw stuff together.

I had to walk into Ryker's classroom Monday morning tail between my legs and confess that I didn't make the poster this weekend.I have lied before when I have "FORGOTTEN" Ryker's homework at home. (ie. didn't do it, imagine that, did turn it in the next day though)

But this time I wasn't lying.

I really just didn't do it.

I didn't just FORGET it at home.

How embarrassing.

Anyway, I spent last night creating a poster for Ryker's classroom, so he could be the best "Friend of the Week" ever.

Here's how it turned out.
