Its official, I suck at blogging. I honestly think I just have sooo much other stuff going on that I forget to blog. So from here on out, I'm going to make this a weekly thing, and will write every Wednesday, rain or shine lol. I think its important to have the blog, and to document our life, so I need to make the effort.
In other news, we received Sophie's portfolio assessment and..... (drum roll please)...... She is a fifth grader now!!! Woo hoo!!! I'm so proud of her! I really feel like we've made great strides in the last couple months together. She is really retaining the things we learn about, and that's what is important. So, we'll stick to what we've been doing, and go from there.
A little info on what we've been up to: We have been doing typical summer type activities. We have been out on the boat once now. Lil Man went into the water for real this year, the first time everrrr, so that was a big deal. He finally realized that life jackets actually do their job and keep you up lol. We also did a little real life math at Chuck E. Cheese over the weekend. We bought 180 tokens that had to be split up, and then they had to split the tickets 3 ways as well. We visited Cabelas for the first time and I love that place. They have a TON of stuffed animals (the real taxidermy type) that the kids were totally in to. And not just the animals in our area either... there was even a polar bear! It was too rainy and nasty to do much else, but we had fun with our indoor activities just the same. Sophie has been reading like crazy lately. We purchased the 50 books for $50 from scholastic and she is thrilled! There were two scary stories books that she read the first couple days, and then you read two A-to-Z Mysteries books, and now she's reading "Super Fudge" by Judy Blume. I love that she's reading so much!
I don't know what we have in store for the week coming up yet. I'd like to get outside with the kids and do some exploring, if the weather will hold up. We've been trying to be quiet for Gary, since he is back on night shift. That's hard when you're only 5 and 3! Sophie on the other hand has no problem as long as she can stick her nose in a book or computer lol. I guess we'll continue to play it as we go ;)
