Wow, where did the week go?? Lots happened, here is a run down.
*On Wednesday after school, Allie asked me this question "Mom, Miss Pins told me today that tomorrow we go to school ALL DAY LONG, what is with THAT?" I chuckled...the 1st 6 days of school, the kids got out at 2:15, rather than the usual 3:35. That extra hour+ is a big difference!
*Jake had soccer practice on Monday & Friday night. He had football practice on Wednesday night & will have it again on Sunday afternoon. His coaches are great & he loves both!
*Jake completed 8 chapter books this summer, so he was able to get a free book from Barnes & Noble. We went over to pick up his new book on Thursday night. Of course, we came home with "Magic Tree House" books for Jake & "Junie B. Jones" books for Allie.
*Allie lost another tooth on Friday morning. Actually, Scott pulled it out before she left for school. She was thrilled to be the first one in her class to lose a tooth since school started. She got to write her name on a giant tooth in the classroom.
*Allie learned to tie her shoes early in the week. She had me show her one morning before school & as I was cooking dinner that night, she said "by the way Mom, I can tie my shoes". I was thinking "yeah right". So, she sat down on the floor & tied them! I asked her how she learned & she told me that I taught her this morning!!
*Jake got all of his spelling words right on his first spelling test of the year!
*Jake had a friend spend the night last night.
*The kids and I met Alishia, one of our babysitters, for ice cream.
*I am the head room parent for both Jake AND Allie's classrooms this year. Jake's class has lots of parent volunteers that I can call on. Allie's class had only 2 other moms that were ready to volunteer!
*I have begun doing "after school care" for our neighbor boy. So far, so good!
*My job has changed already! To make a VERY long story short, the child that I was working one on one with needed to be moved to another school with a BD program. So, I will move to that school to help transition him into the new program. Odds are I won't stay there because they want to increase the number of hours that I would work, which I don't want to do & I'm not sure that BD is my cup of tea. There is a possibility that there may be a job sharing position at the school that I was at, so I may take that job, I may stay in the BD classroom or I may sub until something with the right number of hours AND the right job description opens up. I'll update when I know what is going on!
*This weekend brings cleaning out/organizing the garage. We still have some things that need to be taken to Good Will or the dump from our basement flood so now was the time to see what we could get rid of in the garage. Scott says that he is going to put new flooring in the basement bathroom this weekend too. If he gets that started, I'll get my cleaning done since I am working full time next week & won't have much time to tackle housework.
*Next week brings 2 soccer practices, 2 football practices, a football game, soccer pictures, a Scout popcorn meeting (did I mention I'm co-chairing this), a school carnival meeting AND a birthday party for one of Allie's friends.
Allie's lost tooth!
Jake's class (I pulled this from his teacher's website).
