Well, another school year has ended. It went by pretty quick to me, but every year does. On the last day, I surprised the kids with a treat (peanut butter, chocolate bars) and got them each a small gift (pool toys, flip flops). We also made out summer schedule and our summer bucket list to get them excited for summer and to make sure we fit in some fun activities besides just sitting around.
Then yesterday we got their report cards…it was another outstanding one for both of them. Colin got straight A's and Evan got all O's (outstanding). Both are reading above grade level too. And Colin got his first SOL scores back. He scored a perfect score (600) on BOTH reading and social studies!!! We are so proud of him. He also got a 547on Math, another excellent score (above 500 is considered pass advanced, you need above 400 to pass).
Other than that, we have been to the pool, signed up for summer reading program at the library and have been to a bunch of doctors appointments for me. Today I have a CT scan and we are really hoping this helps us come up with a plan for my kidney pain.
Logan has also been doing swimming lessons this week. I would love for him to be swimming without a device by the end of summer. I absolutely love the swimming school we found, so I am real happy about that. He is making good progress already with floating front and back. If only lessons weren't so expensive! I really want Colin and Evan to take them too, so they can get stronger (they can swim but need lessons on stroke form). But, like everything with raising 4 kids in NOVA, especially on 1 salary, we have to consider the cost…
Oh, the boys are also doing VBS (vacation bible school) and church this week, aka church camp. They have had a lot of fun doing crafts, learning songs, do physical activities, etc. Today is the last day and we have mass in the morning and then an end of week celebration after camp this afternoon. It is has been a great week.
