The kids had their conferences tonight. Both are doing really well in school. Jake's highest grades were in spelling & math, which I suspected. Jake needs to work on his organizational skills...apparently his desk looks like a bomb went off in it....similar to what his room would look like if I didn't MAKE him pick it up. Allie's report went really well too. She is an overachiever...if the teacher asks for them to write 2 sentences, Allie writes 5, that's my girl! She needs to work on recognizing her "teen" numbers. We do flashcards at home & she is getting better. All in all, I was very pleased with their reports. I also got some REALLY cool art work to frame! Yeah!
I'm still sick of snow. We got another round of ice AND snow on Sunday, which caused us to miss school on Monday. The weatherman said that Waterloo has received 44.1 inches of snow this winter...no wonder I am sooooo tired of it (other nearby towns have received more)! We are under another wind chill advisory tonight...wind chills of -25 to -30. How many days until Spring???
I have been under the weather. I started coming down with a cough on Sunday afternoon. By Monday morning, I had a fever to go along with my cough. I felt bad enough that I laid around most of the day. Thankfully, I have pretty self sufficient kids!! I went to work today still not feeling great, but I had volunteer time in Allie's room & conferences too...I felt the need to go in. I drugged myself up with cold meds & made it through the day. I will probably pay for that, but oh well. Now if I can just get through tomorrow, we have Thursday/Friday off & I will lay low! For those ready to lecture me about getting pneumonia again (Kim), I had the school nurse listen to my lungs & she said as of this afternoon they sound good. I go to the doc on Friday for my yearly, I'll get my lungs checked out then too if I haven't shaken this thing!!
Here are those pictures from last week...
Allie & her classmates make a snowman out of Andrea using TP!
Jake's V-day box...it turned out very un-girly, just like he wanted!
