The kids are doing great at school, loving everything, and we are back into a routine.
So on Sunday we went to church, then to Grammy and Papa's for lunch. Madi has had a loose tooth and GG stuck her hand right in there and yanked it out! So Madi lost her 1st tooth! She was SO excited!! She couldn't wait to get to school on Monday and show Mrs Rainwater because they have a chart for when kids lose their teeth and she was the first to go on it. She was so proud. Low and behold the tooth fairy showed up and she got $5! Tooth fairies seem to be far more generous these days...
Jaxen is doing so good at school, he has homework on Mondays and Thursdays, and is reading chapter books. He has been reading a little each night and working on his AR points.
The kids have also aquired chores since school started. It's not much but something they should be doing anyways.. making their beds.. helping set the table... take out the trash... help empty hampers, etc. So Madi is always wanting to help but Jaxen.. not so much. However, I have to brag on him, he's been jumping right out of bed when we tell him in the morning, getting ready, getting his room picked up and bed made, and has sure made our mornings much smoother. The chores are going over really well!
Then... Thursday night Madilyn asked me to help her learn to tie her shoes. She hates wearing tennis shoes to school because she doesn't know how to tie them, and they take their shoes off for P.E. -- anyways, I worked with her for about 15 minutes and she got it! She was overly proud of herself and picked it right up! Thatta girl Madi!
....Kate being a cheese ball....
This is Madi with one of her best
friends, Ashley and her little sister Becca.
Also Friday night, there was a fundraiser at school to raise money for the school mascot "JAKE" - Jake was chosen at cheer camp for all American and is going to a bowl game so the pics help to raise money.
...and Kate, well Kate is doing pretty good with potty training. Although at times she has a 'mind of her own' -- Kate got to go to school one morning this week because Tasha was taking Devon to show and tell, and well now Kate thinks she should go daily. So it's not fun in the mornings, she just wants to be BIG so bad!
Some friend from Hinton were in
town on Friday for the Hinton vs. Thomas
game and Kate got to see her old friend Channing!
I appreciate the umbrellas... it's wishful thinking for some MUCH needed rain!!
So that it's for our week....big random blog entry with a little detail of our life as we know it.... ;)
