Geez I'll blink and it will be Christmas........

Oh the joys of working, with kids, holidays and anything else you want to throw at me.

I feel like I have blinked and already we are only just over 2 weeks away from Christmas....ARGH I am not ready I need more time, maybe I will give up sleep and walk around like a zombie will that work.

The kids are busy with school and Boo Boo continues to amaze Bombshell and I with her academics.  She had to learn spelling words for Spelling Bee, y'know that spelling bee competition that is on TV that those can spell those amazing words, yeah that one, the one we hear words we have never heard before; well not really thinking it was a spelling bee competition but more a name her teacher put to learning spelling words for a test BOY WAS I MISTAKEN......

Boo Boo was taking part in an actual spelling bee and having to compete against her fellow 25 class mates.  Here is the run by run play described by Boo Boo in typical Boo Boo fashion (highlighted in red)......

Running to great me at after school a very excitedly Boo Boo came running up to me.....

"Mummy, Mummy, I won the spelling bee"
"Wow that is great news"
"yeah Daddy told me I would get to go to DC"
while wondering what in the world Bombshell had promised her in order for her to do her test well
"What did Daddy say he would do?"
"If I get through all the rounds I get to go to DC"
This is when it finally dawned on me she was doing the spelling bee as in the TV challenge

"Mummy everyone got stuck on 'stellar' they all kept saying S-t-e-l-l-e-r and getting it wrong so when it got to me I was saying it is my head and thought S-t-e-l-l-a-r and so that is what I said and got it right and this wasn't even a word we had on our list to learn"
"Well done"
"Now it was down to 12 of us, then just me and Nicky" (I'll use this name because for the life of me I cannot remember who it was)
"When it was down to me and Nicky we had to spell 'wriggle', Nicky went first and spelt r-i-g-g-l-e and got it wrong so I thought maybe it is like 'write' and has a silent 'w' so I spelt w-r-i-g-g-l-e and got it right"

Bambeano is doing well in his own right but this post belongs to our ROCK STAR BOO BOO.....

WE LOVE YOU BOO BOO GREAT JOB
