Another Week

I can't believe another week has flown by!  I promise I am going to try to get better about writing on here.  I feel like our lives are so boring though.  I have pictures on my camera that I can write about so I will work on that later today and this weekend.  We have been really busy with homework and housework.  This morning the kids are up really early (like 6:30 am early) and we don't even have to leave for school until 8:45.  They got to see daddy this morning which is a rare treat for them.  He is usually gone to work before they wake up in the morning.  Oh, the joy of a long commute!

Everyone is in a pleasant mood this morning which is great!  Hopefully it will stay that way as I get them ready for school.  Andrew is going to present his science project for this month which is the night sky.  I will put a picture on here of him with his project.  He is very proud of it and said that his is the best in the whole class.  I'm glad he feels that way.  I want him to always be proud of his work and not compare himself to others.  All the projects that I have seen are really good and creative.  The kids would be find with drawing a picture on paper but since it is a family project, it starts getting a little competitive b/c the parents want the best project.  Andrew asked if I would go to school when he presents his project so I emailed his teacher and she said that would be great!  She is such a sweet teacher.  She is strict and structured but not too harsh.  She has a very sweet demeanor and loves what she is doing and wants to see her students grow and learn.  She emails me with the sweetest words saying how helpful I am, when I don't even feel like I've done very much.  I can tell it's going to be a wonderful year!  Andrew has excellent behavior in class and is an excellent reader.  He is doing very well in math also.  I haven't pushed the math as much with him as reading.  Not sure why except that I love reading and he is a natural reader.  There aren't many words that he comes across that he can't figure out.  I am amazed at his abilities every day and thank God for this. 


 Ok, I won't bore you anymore, especially since I don't have any pictures to share.  Soon though I will show you pictures from a little walk we took the other night to the kids' hunting spot in the mountains and Andrew's night sky.  Have a great 3 day weekend (if you get one)!
