This Week...

This week has been a big one for Evan.  On Monday, he found out that he was selected to be the boy student of the month for the 6th grade.  On Tuesday, Evan and Stephen got to go on a field trip with the Indian Education students.  It's the field trip that they were nominated to go on a couple of weeks ago.  They went to a local STEM school and learned more about it's programs.  That evening at soccer practice, Evan got the news he had been waiting to hear.  His coach told him that he earned his spot in the goalie box.  Today at school, Evan had his first chair test.  He made 7th chair out of 15.  He's very competitive and wasn't too happy with that placement.  He said that he's going to practice all weekend and then challenge 6th chair. LOL!  He also got to go to a high school football game, but I'll talk more about that later. =)

This week, Payton started art lessons.  She is working on a Frozen painting.  She and I have also been reading Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory together.  We each take turns reading a chapter out loud.  She's been such a busy reading bee here lately.  She is really enjoying school and I couldn't be more happy.  I really think this is going to be one of her best years yet!

This week, Addi still does not want to go to school in the morning.  It's been hard!  She loves it when she is there, but does not want to go with all that is in her.  It's a huge adjustment and I know she is just going to need time.  As usual, she is really loving gymnastics.  She had class on Wednesday and asked me for the last two days if she can go again.

This week, Karsyn decided that dance class is the best thing in the world.  Tuesday when her class was over, she walked out and said, "This is so much fun!"  It was cute!  She's also decided that she really wants to play soccer.  She told me that she's going to try her best and asked if I would be her coach. ha!  I think she can play this Spring.  

This week, Jason had to go to court house.  He was summons with a jury duty notice a couple of weeks ago.  He doesn't have to serve this time, but he hopes that at some point and time that he'll have the opportunity to.  Aunt Kary was summons too and it looks like she will be serving.  This would be me on jury duty.  Gotta love King of Queens. lol!

This week, it's starting to feel like Fall and I love it!  It was so cool this morning that Karsyn told me that she was shivering.  It couldn't help but smile.

This week, Karsyn, Addi, Payton, and I went on our 3rd Girl Donut Date.  Evan goes to school quite a bit earlier than the girls.  After we drop him off, we head to the donut shop to have some girl time together.  My little ladies just love this time each week!

This week at my school, I feel like things are going good! I wasn't fully aware until I worked at a preschool, that not one three year-old is exactly alike another.  Well, except for the identical twin girls at our school.  I still can't tell those two apart.   We have some who are still much more like toddlers and some who seem like seasoned preschoolers.  Most are somewhere in between.  It can be so challenging at times, but it can also be very rewarding.  Sometimes that changes minute by minute. lol.

That just about sums up this week.  I am going to try my best to do a little better blogging.  We are working hard getting this new routine down and I hope to feel like I have more spare time soon.
