Im a slacker and it took getting TWO phone calls yesterday yelling at me about lack of updates and posts to get my butt in gear.
Sorry
Sorry
SORRY!
Jeesh. You people are impatient!
See that up there? I just wrote that almost 2 hours ago, left the comp open and got busy doing something with Brooke. This is why I cant blog everyday anymore. It would take me hours to make one post!
And there we go again! 10:18 I wrote that part, it is now 12:50. This is getting ridiculous! I dont even remember what I was going to write about anymore. Oh well, something will do right. Im sure Ill recieve a phone call or two *cough cough* tonight complaining about this HAHAH!! Just so you know girls, I will not be home tonight. I have a father/daughter date night with my dad at the Keg (yeah..the keg..you know, that expensive STEAKHOUSE! Leave it to my father to take his vegetarian daughter out on a date to a steak house haha. Gotta love that man!) For the record, they do have a few veggie options (Like their amazing Spinach salad with goat cheese, or their steamed fresh asparagus, portabella and button mushrooms. MMMM..OR their Tempura Snap Peas & Asparagus. Gosh Im getting hungry! I might get the baked goat cheese as a starter). Yeah yeah, I KNOW that is what you wanted to know :)
So lets give a little update on the girls. Alexis is into her 4th week of school. Everything is going great, as expected. We are SO pleased with the way the new program is working out for her and are really glad they tested her last year for enterance. She has recieved 100% on all math and spelling tests and has recieved 100% on all homework assignments. She is well on her way into the 100 club. She has read, reviewed and written about 12 books already this year. Not bad for a start! :) Thats my little genious. As Geri would say "harvard wont be able to keep up". HAHA. Its our little running joke about Lexi and Beth. Gym is going amazing, she has nailed down her roundoff double back and can safely (and properly) do a backtuck into the lowered mat. GO GIRL! Watching my little angel fly through the air like its jumping rope just amazes me day after day. I love it and I love her for working so hard and always believing in herself. Forever Faith Kids is into its 3rd week now and she loves it. Last week they did activities about being Gods treasures. They made little bottled treasures with a note to god inside (which....we cant get out!), started practicing a play, had a snack and played dodge ball in the gym. Not bad for a kiddos night out.
Brookie my Brookie. We are into our 4th week of homeschool preschool. It is going way better then I had ever expected. I WISH I did this with Alexis instead of wasting money on preschool, a program which she was way beyond her years for! We are starting our learning boards this week (starting with A, 1). I will post it once I complete it for everyone to see. Im excited to start these and it will help us stay on track and focus on our goals for the week. Brooklyn is such a big help doing them too and loves every moment of "school" (especially snack time hahahaha). Right now we are doing approx. 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. Although this 3 hours includes a zillion bathroom breaks and a snack. We are not necessarily on a time frame, even though we try to do it every morning. Sometimes the weather is just too nice and calling our names though. I am amazed at how fast she is picking everything up and even more amazed at how much she is like her sister. Although different in so many aspects, learning is not one of them. She thrives on learning and is so quick to pick it up and remember it without skipping a beat (like counting to 7 in french, that her sister taught her in about 10 minutes). Gym is going really well for her also. We were a bit hesistant with starting her in pre-comp a year early and going with kids who are 4 turning 5 but it has worked out to her benefit. She has zero problem keeping up and picks up new moves faster then we thought she would. Looks like this is another area where she is following in her sisters footsteps.
Brian and I...usual. School is back in session. I have one class at the college (which really...is only IN class 5 times total). Im also starting 2 online classes. 6 credits left and Im trying to get them completed asap! Brian loves his new position and things are going utterly amazing there. The courses and workshops they pay for are definatly serving him well. The shoppe is doing wonderful. We are still baking out of the same place. We've put some new advertising in place and it has helped alot with getting out name out there. Orders are coming in steady. Not over the top, but enough to keep me busy and the money has been a god sent. I never thought Id find a "job" that would make as much, let alone more, then what I made weekly with daycare. Put on top of that a job I LOVE which holds such a bright future. Well worth everything put into it.
I have so many pictures I need to upload but not really any time to do it right now. Given that Im out this evening with my dad, I have alot to finish up before I leave that Id normally do in the evening. So, here are a few randoms I HAVE put on to tide you over :)
What a face!! haha. Eating a quick bite before gym practice.
