I can feel it in the air, spring is just around the corner. I can't wait for the warmer weather! Here's what we've been up to the past couple of weeks.
- Both kids had conferences and both kids did really well. Jake got 3 A's and 2 B's. Allie got all B's and 1 A. Both teachers told me how nice & polite my kids are. That means WAY more to me that their good letter grades.
- Allie finished up basketball for the winter. I am glad that it is over and we can free up a couple of nights. Actually, we just replaced those nights with other activities.
- Jake had 2 basketball tournaments. One in South Tama that they won (barely) and another in Waverly that they pretty easily won. I believe we may play in one more tournament and then be done for the season.
- Allie is still going to UNICC each week. They are scheduled to perform during the Gold Star Teacher awards in May.
- Jacob started baseball practice. They are working indoors. He loves the new coaches and team. It has been a great change so far.
- The kids and I each had dentist appointments. I had to get a tooth filled (bummer) and the kids had 6 month check ups. They each had a cavity, so we will go back in a few weeks.
- Jacob and Scott had to go to the 5th grade boy's meeting. They learned all about puberty and other things. Jake's only question after the meeting was "Why would you ever need to use a condom? I mean don't you ONLY have sex to get someone pregnant?" So innocent!
- Allie had a Brownie meeting and her cookies are in. We've been working on getting all 200+ boxes delivered.
- I had a PTA meeting. We set our Talent Show audition times.
- The kids had 80's day at school. It seems wrong that they are having a fun day at school that is mocking how I dressed as a teenager!
- Kim, Mandy & I held a baby shower for Tesha. She had a huge crowd and got so many wonderful gifts. She sure has a nice group of friends.
- Scott had outpatient surgery last week. It was a minor hernia repair. He is healing nicely and will be back at work on Monday. I was shocked that he took several days off to heal. I'm lucky to have 2 friends that took care of the kids for me while we were in the hospital after school. Thanks Kamie & Kristin!
- Allie attended 2 birthday parties. One for her friend Maddy and the other for friend Caitlyn. Both were at the pool and she had tons of fun.
- The school math fair was last week. Both kids had entries in the fair that they did with friends. I wasn't able to attend because I was taking care of Scott, but the kids went with our neighbor and had a nice time.
That's about it for now. Hopefully my next post will be in 60 degree weather!
