Most of you know by now that Derek considers himself a "strong Republican." Imagine my shock this morning when he says, "Mom, I've decided that Barack Obama might be OK." I didn't even reply as I was speechless. However, Taylor chimed right in and says, "NO he's not, he's letting terror people out of the jails and people don't have money to pledge to my jump-a-thon at school because Obama won't give people any money." Uhhhh......????? Derek then explained his logic, a reporter asked Obama about being on Mt Rushmore someday and he said his ears probably wouldn't fit. Well, Derek hates his own ears, thinks they're too big and apparently has decided to "bond" w/ Obama over this issue.

I'm a big slacker
Clearly I haven't blogged for several days.....sorry about that, March tends to be a little crazy around here. Here's my best summarization of the Claytons...
Mike is very busy w/ stucco work and that is a wonderful blessing for our family, the economy had us pretty nervous. He's also getting lots of music dates booked, especially around Springfield & Branson and that will lead to many new contacts for him. Last, but not least, MIKE CLAYTON WILL BE 40 YEARS OLD ON THE 18TH OF MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Derek is a natural comedian, he cracks us up daily. He is still into the whole archery thing and anxious to go turkey hunting w/ his daddy. The 3rd grade program was this past week, all patriotic songs and they did fabulous. I have no idea how that teacher got 224 kids to do so well.
Taylor had a busy week too. She attended a dance clinic w/ the high school girls on Thur. night and had science night at her school where she got to ride a hovercraft, make her own slime (lovely) and do some optical illusion stuff.
I have been busy wrapping up my PTA obligations....I have book fair all next week, so that will be chaos. I began a new Bible study group this week and got to meet several new Bolivar ladies that were just a hoot!
Happy St. Pat's Day!
