Daddy: Jeremiah went to work all week. Jeremiah went to school on Wednesday night. Jeremiah did pretty much the same stuff he does every week. HAHA. He is working on his Master of Science in Project Management in Engineering (or something like that) at KU, but is taking it slow with just one class a week this semester. Monday nights he rushes home to pick up Brinton and Ashlynne, then he rushes them to cello lessons and youth choir lessons. I'm so grateful he takes over these chauffeuring duties on Monday nights so I can focus on the kids at home a bit and we aren't rushing all over. I tried to take the job back from him but he really enjoys the time he gets to spend with the big kids while they drive. Brinton's Cello lessons are 20 minutes across town, Ashlynne's youth choir is about 40 minutes away and he has to go back and forth between them--dropping off one, dropping off the other, running back to pick up one, and driving back the other way to pick up the other and then driving home....so they get a lot of time to just chat with each other.
Mommy: I made a fabulous crock pot chicken noodle soup today. It made me feel so awesome to watch my kids silently gulp all their food down. I thought to myself....either I starved them all day OR it was really that good. Hopefully it was the latter. Last week I home taught my kids, visit taught my friends, and took the kids by myself to Coco Keys (an indoor water park) Homeschool Day ($5 entry per person!). I'm a champion.
Ashy: Last week was parent teacher conference. She made the Principal's Honor Roll again, which she has consistently done every term of middle school. Ashlynne had 5 A's and 2 B's. The B she got in Language Arts was an 89.5% so she was literally .5% away from an A. Darn it! I'm still proud of her grades, especially with all the things she is involved it. Every one of her teachers spoke so highly of her. It's always nice to hear great things about your kids.
Brit: Brinton only takes Art and Orchestra at the middle school and he has an A in both. His orchestra teacher says he is really doing well and making lots of great progress BUT he needs to practice more. {The same thing his private teacher tells him} His art teacher is continually impressed by his art skills. She also has him in Sketch Club once a week and she says he is really good at using lots of different medias. He continues to do well with K12.
Lisey: I conferenced with myself (you know since I'm her teacher )and decided that long division stinks and that teaching long division stinks and that my poor daughter is so frustrated with long division and BLAH! She totally knows how to do it, however, she just needs to consistently get the answers right...one little misstep throws the whole problem off and it's very frustrating for her. We are going to step away from it for a bit and focus on other parts of math. Elise is getting AWESOME at making rainbow loom bracelets even though we don't own a rainbow loom. She uses her fingers, forks, a crochet hook. She made a ton of bracelets last week. She also like to make things out of duct tape. She's is so crafty!
Nanna: Julianna is doing well in school. We haven't really hit any rough patches yet...crossing my fingers and bracing myself... She is starting to make rainbow loom bracelets, too, rings and necklaces are her specialty. Last week, we picked up a cute book called "Kiki: My Stylish Life" at the book fair at the elementary school. It's part of the Lotus Lane series. She read the entire thing in a couple days. Now she wants all of the books. I love that I'm raising readers!!
Liam: I went to his very first parent teacher conference! I still can't believe my boy is in Kindergarten. One thing that made me laugh was that his teacher said that he is QUIET! That boy is anything but quiet. He is really good at math. He loved having days off from school to just play with his friends. It's so nice to live in a neighborhood with little boys that are also in his class. My door bell is constantly ringing for him.
AidanBug: Last week we started chiropractic treatments for Aidan's allergies. So far we've identified and treated his Milk Allergy (which we already knew), Eggs, Wheat and Other Grains. He is so good for the Chiro, he wiggles a lot because he is Aidan and the ultimate wiggler, but he doesn't fight him at all and allows him to do all the adjustments he needs to do. Getting closer and closer to being free of diapers every day....please pray for more consistency on both of our parts!
Cammy: Camryn started walking and now she is running! She is so fast now! I've started calling her the terrorizer because she is into everything, terrorizing everything and everyone. She is still night nursing...all night....allllllllll. night. I got her crib ready so she could start sleeping in it. I'm hilarious...she's not doing that any time soon.
