Thursday



A small battle was fought this morning in the Murphy kitchen. Ryan was the first to eat and used the last of the milk. Apparently not only did he use the last of the milk he spilled half of it out of his bowl on the way to the counter. Erin aka Sybil yelled at him to clean it up, he grabbed a towel and smeared the drops into a bigger mess. That resulted in him getting smacked upside his head by his big sister. The battle raged on after school when Ryan smacked Kelsey in the mouth on the way home from school. Grandma picks them up from school in her little Corolla and they have a hard time getting along for that 3 minute ride home sitting so close to each other. Shannon could solve the problem by switching seats with Kelsey but she feels that it is her place as an eighth grader to have the front seat.

The picture above is of Maggie's school shirt. I was told that they don't have straws for the chocolate milk at school. So instead, Maggie just opened it and poured it down the front of her. Ryan told me it is because they want to discourage kids from using them as a weapons, Kelsey said it was a result of a budget crunch. I think somewhere in between lies the truth. In the mean time I may just spray Maggie with scotch guard every morning before she leaves for school.
