Life in the Fast Lane!!

Many of you know my little boy Logan. He has a great zest for life although he doesn't always know how to channel the emotion that comes along with that which usually means life is an emotional roller coaster for him! He is always so excited to get done what needs to be done in the quickest manner possible so that he can move on to the things he wants to conquer in life! Well, this morning I put his homework in his backpack to take back which I found loose in his backpack yesterday) and he told me I needed to put it in his homework folder. I said to him, "Logan, you left your homework folder at school." He said,"No I didn't, it's in the other pocket of my backpack." Sure enough he unzipped the small pocket on the front of his backpack and there was his homework folder all folded up so he could fit it. I'm assuming he did that to ensure that the bigger part of the backpack had room for his football and basketball. Anyway, I pulled his homework folder out to find this:



Draw your attention to question #9. I mean seriously... how could you miss that one? Easter really? That's when the pilgrims and Indians had a feast? That is how I know that he was just rushing through circling which ever one his little heart desired so that he could move on and do what HE wanted to do! I could not help but laugh. Apparently he decided he needed a huge frowny face on his paper too which... he probably spent more time on then the actual test itself. So cute!


Look at # 7. Apparently soldiers help farmers on their plantations.

He is so smart but when it comes to his agenda, that's exactly what it is is HIS agenda! He came straight from heaven that way. I know he knows these answers but I know in his mind, he has waaaayyy more important things to do in life to worry about test taking,and all the other tasks that don't seem important to him. He needs to move on to the more important things in life like: building forts, making ships out of legos, and learning how to get around the rules at school of no tackling in football, to riding his bike and sneaking off the helmet,taking all the food outside to share with his friends, and not taking the time to chew his food before inhaling it and he is off to his next adventure.

Please tell me you have a child like this that is on high speed, high volume, high adventure, with little or no fear... ALL THE TIME!! He lives life to the fullest and in the fast lane 24/7. You gotta love it though!

Needless to say, he missed every question on his test but then again to him.....
It is not among the IMPORTANT tasks in life, yet I could not find myself being angry for his ZEST for life! This is one assignment that will be kept in MY IMPORTANT file!

Overdue baby? No, well kind of. I had my baby 3 1/2 months ago but the blogging of it is waaaayyy overdue!! I have really neglected my blog for a while now and am trying to play catch up. The first thing I wanted to catch up on was my baby shower which was 5 months ago.... yeah you heard it right.... 5 months ago!! I told you I really am a slacker.
