I think God knows when you need a little respite, and I guess I must have. This morning Miles took out the recycling for Raelynn with no showmanship whatsoever. This is unusual. When I noticed, I asked what he was up to. He said that he was doing it because she gave him some of the special clay she got for her birthday--clay which he had been coveting for weeks. I was moved and uplifted by his little act of retribution, and then I saw this in his room today. It must have accompanied the clay. I felt so proud of my kids and so rewarded.
She even took care to help him avoid getting in trouble by telling him not to use it during reading time. It's like oxygen straight from the mouth of God to my suffocating lungs. And I remember how worth it those kids are.

See? They really are catching on. I love her little note -- what a sweet gesture.
How sweet! I just hope you don't find it in the carpet in the morning....:)
So my oldest just turned 17! And he's pulling out of that mental limp fish!
I have to say, I'm WAY impressed with your kids. Raelyn's note is so well written and like you said, consciencious (sp?) of not breaking the rules. What is with you Fitzwaters and your natural, literary abilities?! And how come THIS side of the family wasn't blessed with this gift?! First of all, my boys very rarely leave notes, let alone use any punctuation in them. And articulate? Uh, no!
And that's not meant to be a cut to my boys. Just saying ...
I need Rae to hang with Liv more. Liv's latest "notes" are texts she and her friends forward around (how generous of her to include me in the forwarding circle). They are unbearably cheesy. Liv made the last one up herself - something along these lines, "Love is a gift, and trust is a token, but friendship is forever!" What????
Great note. You do have pretty impressive kids.
p.s. I was NOT included in Liv's forwarding circle. Ouch.
I want to see pics of your kids in their Halloween Costumes!
