Busy, busy week!






This was Hunter's 3rd week of school but only his 2nd full week. He is enjoying school so much and is so excited when he gets home to tell us all that he has done. We get another recap at dinner when dad is home and he beams when he tells us all that he has done.

This was Brayden's first week of school and he did so good at school and I can tell that he is very ready for preschool. He settled in but had a hard time with me wanting to leave on Thursday. I am going to leave on Tuesday next week because I am going to start volunteering in Hunter's class in October so Brayden needs to get used to me not always being at preschool. I know he will do fine and we just love Teacher Kim so I'm not worried about him because she will take great care of him.

This week was full of meetings for school and our HOA. It was also Hunter's open house at his school and Sean made sure to be home in time to come with us. It was really fun to go and be able to see all the things that he talks about when he comes home. There were a few things that we were not sure exactly what he's been talking about but once we saw everything we figured them out. The teacher had a lot of nice things to say about Hunter and she told us that he keeps track if she misses anything during the day. This made me laugh and I told her that he is a routine kid and notices if things aren't done just so. We talked about me starting to volunteer in class next month and she said that she heard from Hunter that I make playdoh for the preschool and would I do it for her class too. Of course I said yes and then we made our way to go meet Hunter's P.E. teacher. She too told us what a joy Hunter is and that she had asked Hunter earlier if she was going to get to meet us. I am so glad that he is doing so well and that he is a pleasure for his teachers.

Hunter has been wanting to sign up for wrestling and I got some information about it. I told him that I would and that we would make a family decision once we got more info. The kids meet at the high school on M-W-F from 6-8pm and once I saw that I told Hunter that I didn't think it was a very good idea yet. He knows that he goes to bed at 7pm and that if we did wrestling he wouldn't get to bed until 8:30 or 9pm. He's been so tired and has had a few tears on Thursday mornings because of being tired and he said that maybe he can do it when he gets a little bit bigger. The maturity level that is showing lately with him and his thoughts and actions has just amazed me!

Yesterday and today I made time for some very special friends that I haven't seen for a couple of months. We got to enjoy some grown up conversation while the kids played and it was really nice catching up now that it seems like our lives are just getting busier and busier with these kiddos.

I hope that everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend! Happy Fall!!!
