Today was muffins with mom at Rich's school. What a treat that I was able to sneak away from the office and spend this wonderful time with him. He is such a gregarious little boy~~taking time to introduce me to his friends and people he hadn't even met yet (like the other kids' moms!) Silly, silly boy, but what a great ice breaker, too!
Since it was muffins with mom, they performed a little song.....
Also, we got a picture taken of ourselves....
Yes, I was brave enough to wear my Cottonwood t-shirt to Martin today. Hey, at least it's all blue, right? LOL!
Rich and I counted m&m's, too. We had 80 of all different colors, then had to sort them into colored piles and make a graph. Rich did great counting over and over. I helped with the sorting. The graph he made was tactile, but the teacher wanted to keep it, so I'll have to share that a little later.
Abigail has soccer tomorrow. Today, after school, she went to a friend's house, where they made posters for Student Council. Week after next, is Red Ribbon/Live United week, so they're having a fundraiser and different days to dress up. Abigail and her friend had to make a poster for their class and also a younger class, since they are representatives on the STUCO (student council). So, it was a busy week all the way around!
Okay, I seriously cannot believe how long it's been since I've posted on here. OVER a month? I totally missed September! Geesh! If any of y'all out there are still checking in, I hope this sort of makes up for it.
I've been kinda buried in work, school, and finding old friends. Not necessarily in that order. Richard has been steadily working on the outside of our house, getting it ready to paint. It's kind of polka-dotted right now, because he primed the "raw" wood yesterday and it rained today. Not sure what he's planning for tomorrow, but he hopes to be done by the end of next weekend.
I am still totally LOVING the new job. Well, it's not so new anymore, but I still really enjoy it. I love seeing the kids and helping out the teachers. It's a great job. Just enough gossip to keep me happy, and I don't have to deal with the drama. That's someone else's problem! LOL!
Kids are doing great. Rich knows 18/26 of his braille letters, plus the period symbol and number symbol. Kindergarten is going great for him. Abigail is excelling in school as well. Her parent/teacher conference is tomorrow, and I don't expect any surprises. She tested in the gifted range for reading and missed the math range by 4 points. Not bad. She has 100% in science and not less than a 96% in any of her study areas. I'm impressed with both of them this year. Well, I'm almost always impressed with them. I just sometimes don't realize how much they really are absorbing.
Not much else is going on. My scrap room is still packed up, which is fine. I don't have a lot of time to work on it right now. I am planning on a scrapbook night with some friends in November. I can't wait!! I think I'm going to work on my pictures from this summer. I only took about 300 of them.
Oh, and Abigail has been taking pictures like crazy. I need to download some of them soon to share.
Okay, I need to get going, but felt like I *really* needed to get on here and give y'all an update!!!
