Chicks Dig Scars - Part 2

Apparently KDO has decided to add stitches to the list of things he believes chicks dig. Just kidding...

He and my Mom ran into some black ice a while back on their way to Helena and spun out on the bridge coming up to the Zieben off-ramp. They are OK now. The car has been fixed and KDO's stitches are out. (I pulled them which was a weird feeling)

The whole event actually was an eye opener for KDO. We had some pretty deep discussions about life and death. It also helped cool his heels about getting his driver's license which he has been bugging me about non-stop since he turned 14.

All in all, I am just glad they are both OK. That's all that matters in my little world.

First Day of School

Today was KDO's first day of school. Home-school that is!

He was REALLY excited to get started. (See picture below) Just kidding... I had to prompt him with threats of extra chores to make him smile wildly to simulate enthusiastic learning drive and compelling scholastic resolve.



He actually did really well though. I stayed home with him and learned the ropes with him. This week he is going to stick to the study plan laid out by K12 but next week we are going to try devoting a day to each subject. He is taking K12 courses online and is also taking a Bible course from A Beka as well as Spanish through RosettaStone. It should make for many more enlivening posts from me.

Chicks Dig Scars...and Black Eyes

KDO received his first black eye, courtesy of a friend at school. He said they were wrestling. I didn't think to take a picture until the bruise was almost gone. Bad Mom. (This is the "You have got to be kidding me with the camera" look of death he has learned to do so well.)
