While I am so proud of how we, as a family, are managing this overall transition that we find ourselves in the middle of (meaning: building a house on the coast and anticipating a move, living in a rental house while we finish out the school year, going and fishing out of storage anytime we need something we can't find, etc etc), I must admit that I'm not nearly as organized - or as efficient - as when I'm in my "normal" routine and in my "normal" habitat. This means our poor family blog, which is important to us as our record of these precious days we've been given, does not receive the attention it needs and deserves. But I don't want to forget some of these fun school days that the kids are enjoying!
Early in the new year, the kids celebrated 100 days of school!
JB and Maryn also participated in their school science far (JB as an individual and Maryn as a group). They both advanced to State!
The State competition took place in March, and we dropped off the kids very early in the morning to ride the bus over to Milledgeville. (We took advantage of the 630AM time with Wesley to introduce him to Waffle House). The kids had a great experience with the other schools and presenting their projects.
We survived Red Ribbon week, thanks to a school that doesn't require TOO much in terms of daily themes and dress up: PJ Day, Green Day, Sock Day, and Favorite College Day. Wish the kids would aspire a little higher than Georgia, though... :)
Since both the big kids have daily reading requirements, I take advantage of some book time, too, and we read together in the hammock outside. It's one of my favorite times!
Now Wesley has some daily work, too, particularly his 100 READING LESSONS!! He's doing AWESOME and I'm so proud of him.
Wesley's Preschool had a SUPERHERO day, in memory of a sweet child lost way too soon several years ago. Mickey Bobby joined in the fun. (He goes everywhere with Wesley these days).
We walk Wesley to school most mornings, and Enda goes with us. It's such a special routine!
This yard has a TON of pinecones, which allows for a great lesson on physical labor and the benefit of chores. Builds character :)
Wesley learned the hard way not to leave his scooter in the driveway (yikes), and to earn a new one he had to do yard work for several weeks. However, he worked diligently and now is the proud owner of this beautiful black and red scooter.
The best part of collecting lawn trimmings? The Sanitation Dept comes to pick them up!!! Favorite part of Wesley's week.
Maryn misses her dear friends/neighbor girls dearly, so we try to do girl stuff and get them together when we can.
Tennis is hit or miss lately, due to competing sports, but we fit in lessons when we can!
Probably missing a ton of activity that's happened between January and now, but I have hundreds of other pictures on my camera roll that (hopefully???) back up like they should to the cloud.
We're about to head into a very BUSY part of the year: Spring break, Easter, field trips and then END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!! How in the world is that even possible. Year is flying.
