My kids were pretty excited when I told them this afternoon that I had just found out that Fox’s Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader quiz show would be back on this summer. I guess I know what we are watching on Thursday nights!
Hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, is a quiz show where players test their knowledge against actual fifth grade students. They just finished a new round of casting auditons - looking for rising 5th graders for next season.
Remember Who Wants to be a Millionaire’s Phone-a-Friend? Well, in the 5th Grader show, you can “cheat” off a friend once in the classroom like set. When you run out of help and feel the questions are getting too hard, you can “drop out of school” rather than lose all your money.
Do you think you are smarter than a fifth grader? The TV show’s web site has a quiz you can take online. I just took it and got all 7 questions correct - even though I had to have my 5th grader “save†me once. I have found a few other sites that have similar quizzes if you really want to test yourself!
How many did you get right? Do you think the show is accurate in it skill level?

I just saw this at An Island Life and couldn’t help myself! With two girls in the house, I swear the princesses live here, however, this grown up take on them is just too funny. Speaking of princesses with an attitude, has anyone seen Shrek the Third? The princesses were just too much.

Is it Friday already? It has been a busy week filled with putting finishing touches on a new site for a client, orthodontist appointments, making 6 dozen cookies for the Brownies, and just daily interruptions from real life.
Here are some fun links to take you through the weekend:
Have a great weekend!!Â

Clear blue skies. A sunny warm afternoon. A date with my husband. No kids. A drive through the country. All in a little red corvette - complete with the top down.
What more could a girl ask for?
Not a whole lot. We got a rare afternoon away from the crew. Yesterday was my sister-in-law’s birthday and we decided to take her out to lunch at our favorite German restaurant today. We have to drive an hour through Virginia horse country to get there - it was absolutely beautiful.
We ate too much, laughed a lot, told stories, and enjoyed every minute of it. A date with your spouse - I highly recommend it!

It looks like the MyBlogLog issue has resolved itself so I am happy to say I can see all your faces in the sidebar again. Yeah! I missed you.
It has been an emotionally trying week for the nation as we try to come to terms with the events that have unfolded. Today is Hokie Hope day and the sun is finally shining again in Virginia. No joke. It has been gray, cold and gloomy all week and today the sun is out and it supposed to be warm. This in itself gives a sign that the healing process has begun. Add to the fact that Sunday is Earth Day - another reason to connect with the community and keep moving forward.
Here are a few posts that I have come across this week that I really enjoyed:
And some shameless self promotion! Here are some other posts from my other blogs that you might like:
Have a great weekend! Get out and enjoy the sun and celebrate the goodness that Mother Earth has given us.
