First Grade Ya'll

Corbin started first grade this week. He is gone all day. It's too long but he seems to handle it just fine so far. He hasn't complained about how long he is gone at school or about anything. I think he will complain more this week when he has to start doing reading for 20 minutes a day and doing daily homework. I do think that is a little ridiculous, but hopefully he will be able to handle it okay. I may have to have a reward system or something because he is not a big fan of reading or homework. He has two teachers. Mrs. Saville teaches the first of the week and Mrs. Leonard teaches the second half. I've heard great things about Mrs. Saville so that's good. Mrs. Leonard is new to Summerwind but she seems nice. I don't get a lot out of Corbin when I ask him about school but when I ask him how his day was he usually says, "good, really good." So that's good!

I haven't gotten into a groove or a routine with the girls yet. I am still kind of in summer mode and not really ready to have a routine yet. I will start figuring out some preschool activities and things like that soon enough. We just hung out this week mostly. We did sneak in one more trip to the pool with Anna and Lexi.

Scott started his school program and so far he is loving it. He is taking 4 classes Monday through Wednesday. He's almost more stressed because he likes it so much and so now he has to figure out how he is going to make it all work. I'm just excited that he really likes it. I think he will make a really good counselor.

Ryan just turned 10 months he's a cutie pie. He is finally weaned and he is just on cow's milk now. He hardly ever spits up anymore. It's wonderful! I don't know if it was my milk that made him barf like crazy or if getting older has helped him stop. Either way, hallelujah. That was seriously annoying!

Kid Quotes:
Gabby:
Me: "Oh shade I love ya." G:"You mean you love the trees, because they're the ones that make the shade." Yes that's what I mean. Ha.
Piper speaking with Gabby: 'Now can I spin around with you now?"
"Mom, I need a drink of daddy's water cause I am dying."

First day of First Grade

Corbin is a crazy climbing monkey. We were outside playing and he disappeared and boom he was on the roof. This kid!

These girls can be pretty cute together sometimes.

Nana, this is another Gabby present for you. She colored her own wrapping paper and wrapped and tied her own ribbon. She wanted to mail this 2 days after we already mailed your package. (I hid it so she will stop asking me to mail it, I will try to bring it down with us the next time we come down).

Halloween things! Kids got a Halloween package from Nana. So fun!

Scott needed a home for all of his movies so we moved the treadmill into the garage and he bought another bookshelf. He loves his office so, so much now! (Do you like that retro chair? I bought it at the DI for $3. I can't decide whether or not to spray paint it or just leave it). 

Lovin' it!
