Mark your calendars!

Cooper informed me last night while tucking him in bed that he got 5 minutes taken from his recess play time at school:

Mom: Oh really? Was there a problem you need to tell me about?

A thoughtful pause and then Cooper: Um, no. It was actually "Annual Take 5 Minutes From Recess Day" and Mrs. Monsegur didn't want us getting too tired out there.

Mom: Hmmm. Usually when something like that happens it's because you were doing something you shouldn't have been doing.

Quickly this time Cooper says: No. Just "Annual Take 5 Minutes From Recess Day".

Then he pulls the covers over his head and says sweetly: Good night mommy. I love you.

I hope all your children were able to enjoy this great event (although unbeknownst to me) as well!
