A few things to update on...
My back has been a lot better. The pain is still there, occasionally I will sit right on a bad spot and jump up in pain. But, for the most part I can do all my daily activities now. Thank goodness!
Colin and Evan got their report cards yesterday. I am so grateful for smart kids! Colin got all A's except a B in Math...so he got honor roll! I was annoyed with the B in Math because that is his best subject and the teacher knows it, he even wrote that the B was all because of rushing and silly mistakes, he knows the material. So, we have to work on that, but I am sure that will be a constant struggle with him. Anyway, very happy with his grades, he does great in school and is pretty responsible these days with getting all his homework done and doing it all pretty independently.
Evan doesn't get A's and B's yet, but he got all 0's (Outstanding), on his report card for his main subjects. Again, really proud of him. Evan has a great memory that serves him well in school. He doesn't love doing homework, he has a short attention span for it, but he gets it done, I am sure this will improve as he gets older and has a longer attention span. But, for the most part homework has been pretty stress free this year. This school system is much easier then they are used to and the homework is less to, so it has been a pretty easy year this year.
Despite school being fairly easy, I haven't gotten any reports from either kid of any bad behavior. Both teachers had nice things to say about them, so that makes me so happy!
A week ago, I also had a teacher conference for Logan. Because of school being closed that day for snow, it was over the phone. His teacher said he was one of the strongest in his class and that she has absolutely no concerns about his readiness for Kindergarten! For those that know Logan, he is VERY independent. He doesn't like to spend much time doing any learning activities with me, he quits pretty quickly once he doesn't know something. I think because he is so independent it frustrates him to not know how to read. He wants to be able to do everything his brothers do. So, I really don't know how much he actually knows. Recently, he is starting to write his letters and draw more, so I think he is really starting to want to learn. He knows all his letters, just doesn't know all the sounds they make yet, but, I have a feeling he is going to take off in the next few months...
Leah...well, don't want to leave this girl out...Leah is so fun. She is super girly, she loves wearing necklaces and bracelets. She also loves shoes. She always wants to wear sparkly shoes and church shoes. I need to hide these, because I do not like when her clothes and shoes don't match! I like girls dressed pretty conservatively, I do not like sparkly shoes or sparkly clothes, character clothes, or loud colors. The only reason she even has some of these shoes/clothes is hand me downs. I prefer more classic clothing. But, this girl, loves all things girly!
Leah loves Mickey/Minnie still and all those characters. She is also starting to learn the names of the princesses like Cinderella and Aurora. She calls her "Sleeping Booty". Leah will say "I'm fine" or "I will be fine" if she wants to do something herself. She is sassy and is not afraid to yell at her big brothers. The love to pester her, but they also are extremely loving toward her and helpful with her. I am so grateful for that. Leah loves to dance (yay for this!), she also loves to sing ("Let it go" is her favorite).
Ok, I guess I have written enough, I could go on and on about my kids...will add pics soon.
