KEEPING BUSY

Yes, I know when I said that I wasn't going to work this year, just sub that I also was concerned about being bored. WRONG!! I worked every day last week & am booked this week too. I'm working more now by subbing than I did when I worked! Figure that out!! I am enjoyed myself & will start saying "no" to some requests to sub, but I want to remain available for now to get my name in so that I can have the option to work almost daily in the future.

Jake had his first football game on Saturday. His team lost 24-6. He was pretty bummed. The boys had a great time though & they tried their hardest.

My parents celebrated their 37th year of marriage this week. Scott & I hope to be as happy as they are after 37 years!

Allie attended 2 birthday parties this weekend. Her friend Jordyn had a party at Claire's. It was a spa party & the kids wore their PJ's & got their nails done & were pampered. She also went to her friend Gunnar's party at Chuck E Cheese's.

The kids had friends over on Wednesday after school. Jake had Paul over (like every Wed) and Allie invited Olivia over. They all had a great time.

Allie spent the night at Jordyn's house on Saturday. Well, almost spent the night. She was called to go to dinner at Olive Garden & shopping at Target with Jordyn & her mom. After that, they were spending the night at Jordyn's house. She's spent the night there numerous times with no trouble. I got a call at 11:30 that Allie wanted to come home because the cats were looking at her. SERIOUSLY!! So, Allie came home & slept fine in her bed. Jake had Paul spend the night here with no problems!

Jake has aced his 2 spelling test this year. He got a 100% and an 87% on his 2 reading tests. He missed 2 on the one test & it took his grade way down. He missed an essay question...he didn't read it right & answered it completely wrong. I suppose he needs to SLOW DOWN!

Jake had his first Cub Scout meeting of the year. The boys went swimming despite the cool temps & had a ball. We grilled out & they played some games too.

This week brings dance, 2 soccer games & another foot doctor appt. for Allie. Jake has 2 soccer practices, 2 football practices, a football game & a soccer game. I am working every day next week, have a PTA meeting, a carnival meeting & a Festival of Trees meeting. Scott & I are painting our kitchen over the weekend (we have agreed on paint).

Jake as QB at the game. He didn't do too bad.
