Anyway, silly thoughts for this week.
1. Ben's current favorite dish is barbeque. Usually it's bbq chicken or even just bbq sauce on plain chicken. We've sort of been in a trend with it lately. He looked at us the other night at dinner and said, "this is great - it's so good I can barely stand it". My Dad LOVED barbecue, so I guess Dad is channeling this to Ben. Cracks us up.
2. Ben got a yellow star at school the other day. A good day gets a stamp in his folder. A yellow star means a "not good" day. A red star is the worst. So, I asked him what happened and he was confused. I read the note in his file folder. Apparently, he was disrespectful to his music teacher. After a few e-mails to find out the specifics, it seems that Ben told his music teacher (whom he ADORES) that her song was boring and he did not want to sing it. She thought he meant that he did not like her class and so she asked him to leave. Fast forward to yesterday. I am at the chiropractor's office. Usually, Dr. M plays, ya know, jazz/fusion/world music type of stuff. I don't know who was on his CD player, but it really, really sounded like Celtic Women-screeching-like-seagulls-or-imitating-dolphins-to-music. It was wretched. Of course, I said something to Dr. M about it. Then I had to laugh - at least we know where Ben gets it.
3. I am a Gleek and can't wait for the show's return in April. I am done already with American Idol, though I like Ellen as a judge.
4. I say this often and truly mean it. If my child turns out half as great as my dog, then I will be a truly great parent with an amazing kid. Bogie is in the picture with us and my MaMa, who passed away last Summer.
5. The other picture is one of my faves. It's my Dad and Ben, not long after Ben came home. Truly priceless.

I like your silly thoughts for your blog, I think I'm going to do it too. Love that pic of Ben with your dad and the one of you all with your MaMa.
We have stars in kinder but the stars are good and the kids try so hard to get them. A green day and a star is an awesome day! A yellow day means no listening, an orange day means 2nd offense and a red day means completely bad behavior, usually sent down to the office.
This week LGA has gotten yellow, orange and green today. I can't remember what she got on Monday. So lots of challenging behavior this week.

Love posts like this. Random thoughts are the best ones. They're the small details of life that we forget quickest but really are the most important ones, like your Dad, Ben and BBQ sauce, right? That's so cool.
Thanks for sharing that.
Love the pics.

PS It wasn't me who asked for more detail was it?
I think I'm going to have to take your inspiration and try to at least post about some of the small stuff. and more often. I've become very complacent in my blog posting. Love reading about yours.
BTW, my word verification is EOROMA. Too weird!
