Just before leaving for Mother's Circle today, I received a phone call from the school. I guess Alex decided it would be a good idea to harass a first grader until he (the first grader) would agree to trade a Pokemon card (ONE) for a twenty dollar bill. Since the first grader stuck to his guns, Alex decided that he would spit on the first grader... in the face.
The principal was curious as to why a ten year old would have a twenty dollar bill on him, as it is a large amount of cash for a child to randomly have. Alex thought it would be a good idea to not turn in his hot lunch and milk money for the month of December. I am not sure how he thought he would get away with that one. I am sure he would miss his daily milk and would be awfully hungry every Friday as I wouldn't be packing him a lunch. Since it is too late to turn it in, he will have to go with out for this month. I am unsure if I will bother with future months as he can no longer be trusted to hand in forms and money. (Does it make me a bad person/parent that I am a little bummed that I have to make him a lunch every Friday? I very much enjoy having one day off a week...)
The principal decided that the best course of action would not be a suspension... this time. He is not allowed on the yards for a long time and is not allowed to participate in inter-murals within the school. However, if this happens again he will be suspended (justifiably).
So- needless to say, Alex did not participate in tonight's craft.
Today Nathaniel was supposed to make a beaded wire Christmas Tree. Only, a tree shape was too hard for me to bend. (I tried I really did... it was not pretty haha)

Until tomorrow!
