Checking in......

Well, not only have I neglected my blog (again)....I've also neglected my house, my laundry, and exercise.  I feel terrible since I haven't been running but with working I don't have time.  Well, that's kind of a lie because I could get up and walk/run on the treadmill but it's hard to convince myself to get out of bed for that.  Kids are doing great in school.  We had their conferences last week and both are doing amazing in school.  We are definitely proud parents  We spend a lot of time doing homework and it has paid off.  Andrew has 100% on almost everything and if it's not then it's 95% or higher.  He is such a smart little boy and is really good in class.  Third grade has really challenged him (and us) but he just keeps going.  Enough bragging about Andrew because Grace deserves it also!  She is reading above grade level and is doing great in math.  She loves reading and almost always has a book in her hands.

I have 4 weeks left with the kindergarten class I'm in right now.  I have to say I didn't think I would like kindergarten but I do.  It's fun to watch them learn so many new things.  We are working on fairy tales and today we drew castles after listening to Rumpelstiltskin to show the setting of the story.  It's a lot of work to be creative with ways they can show understanding besides just doing a bunch of worksheets.  Thankfully Grace's teacher from kindergarten is right next door and has been extremely helpful and shares all of her ideas.  She is an awesome kinder teacher and I'm so thankful she is willing to help me.  As much as I love working full time, I am also looking forward to quiet days at home and getting my house clean and hopefully getting to spend some time crafting and making Christmas gifts.  HA!!  I'm sure I'll be just as busy when this position is over as I was before I took this.

Well, tomorrow is another soccer game and a birthday party for Grace's best friend!  Should be a fun and busy day!
