This is what happens when we miss our naps! It's 4:50pm and she just fell asleep. My dilemma...if I wake her she's a BEAR, if I let her sleep she'll be up all night!!!!! LOL I can't complain, she's just precious (sleeping)
So much is happening around here. I feel like my head is falling off. Brittany is turning into an academic/social butterfly! She has joined an:
- after school theatre club; meets 1 day a week from now until December, then they are going to put on a performance.
- Drama-Rama through our school district. She was chosen to participate in this group. They meet 1 day a week during their lunch recess and rehearse a play. In Nov. she will compete against other schools and her peers. Judging is done on individual and group performances. Voice, body language, eye contact, memorization and more skills are judged, but children cannot use props or costumes. She's really excited!
- She's also joined 4H. In order for her to compete in the county horse show at the fair she needs to be in 4H. I'm signing Andrew up since I already need to take her and there's more to choose from than just animals. Meetings once a month...not too bad...yet
- She's also in Girl Scouts. Been in since Daisy Scouts (kindergarten) and doesn't want to give it up. Meets once a month...I might of gotten suckered into being the troop leader! What have I gotten into????
- She also has horse riding lessons once a week.
- Too add to all this, we have choir on Wednesday nights.
Andrew has joined an after school magic workshop. He didn't want to do much else, except flag football but giving some past injuries, I'd rather not put in him at all, but I do realize it is inevitable. I'll hold out as long as possible though! Andrew just wants to "hang out" with his friends and ride his bike. He's doing excellant in reading and math.
Dominick LOVES school (as do the older two)!! He doesn't have school on Friday's and so far has been a terrible pain in the a**! I have to find some activities to keep him occupied or he gets bored and causes problems. He is joining gymnastics through our community ed program. He's really excited as am I hoping this will help relieve some excess energy he has. He's also incredibly flexible and can flip a somersault (w/o hands) like nothing (in the trampoline). Dominick will also be in our Church's choir with Brittany and Andrew. Sunday school started this past Sunday, all the kids were extremely excited to meet their teachers and get back into routine of going (we've been really lazy this summer :(
Marissa is POTTY TRAINED!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! She does have occasional accidents, to be expected. It was a breeze training her! Sometimes she is lazy and doesn't feel like getting up to go potty, but is getting better. Instead of candy rewards (she was getting too hyper) I've opted for stickers! I told her when she's potty trained she can start dance class...starting Tuesday she will be in a 2/3yr old dance class. She's really excited!
These kids have grown so much, I feel so old sometimes and yet I'm so blessed and happy to be able to see their journeys.
