We found out last night that Fr. Conner our parish priest had passed away in his sleep!
We were saddened by the news, and hope that he finds comfort in his Father's home. Please keep our church in your prayers as we wait to see what happens....

So what happens at the end of a long week?
We had homework every day this week!! Math, reading, and spelling. 20 new spelling words to learn. Although I shouldn't say "new" they were some of the "staple" words from 1st grade. Our 2 new words were SCRATCH and PICNIC.
So after a week of school, what does mommy decide to do on Friday? Invite Brianna over to play and bring out all of our Crafts!
Here are some pictures of everyone in the act. Poor Xander, couldn't get the glue to come out of the bottle. When he finally did get glue out, he decided to lay in it. So of course that means that I have to take pictures of him with his green onsie and his purple glitter glue spots!!
We used over 200 craft sticks, I think we ended up with 3 empty bottles of glitter glue, who knows how much construction paper we went through...all of the pom poms are gone, and all of the pipe cleaners are gone, but we had a blast!!
There are of course more pictures on the dropshots site....but you can tell we had a blast!!

And the homework saga has begun....
Christopher came home from school with his first day of homework.
20 spelling words.....
In 1st grade they only had 10
A math reading book. Almost like a word problem but with 5-6 pages and pictures.
And a reading worksheet.
He did really well.
We are still having issues with certain letters and numbers, but for the most part he did great!!
Now what does tonight have in store for us????

So what is it about a biopsy....
That makes it soooo painful???
I had 3 moles removed from my back on Thursday.
1 was a little bit bigger than the other 2, and from that one I have a "substantial" hole!
It's right in the small of my back, so no matter how I sit or stand I can't seem to get comfy!
On top of that it keeps bleeding!
Now the Dr. said that I would have some discomfort, but it would be more like a skinned knee or something.
So much for the skinned knee feeling!!

So the 1st week of 2nd grade is over
The best answer I've gotten so far is everything is "FINE"
He hasn't had any homework, and I'm sure that once that starts I will get more information!
We have had lots of things going on...
Lost another tooth, and started school....
Got our first dental x-rays and did great...
Let's not forget our 1st fundraiser for the school year, gotta love that it comes home on the 3rd day of school.
Johnathan's new gymnastics class starts on Monday, still in Level 2, but a new time and day and a new teacher.
School for Alexander and Johnathan starts on the 2nd of September. Johnathan will go 5 days a week, and Alexander just 2 on Tuesday's and Thursday's. I've decided that if after a month he is having more bad days than good I will pull him out and wait 1 more year.
Tonight is the coaches meeting for soccer, so we have that coming up as well.
I love this time of year...it's just a little bit cooler, and the activities are getting under way!!

So I think we are going to try Chess Club...
Christopher has really gotten into Chess.
We found a club here locally that has tournaments and stuff.
It's mostly older people, but they said Christopher is more than welcome.
The 1st tournament is next Thursday. They meet from 7-7:30, so here's hoping we can make it.
For him to play we have to become members of the chess club, and that's only $17 a month, so I will do that between now and Thursday I guess.....

Where oh where has the time gone???
This is the last week of the church summer program.
After that we have 1 more week and Christopher will be starting the second grade.
He starts school on the 21st, with a meet the teacher day on the 20th.
Things have settled down some.
Caryn has been wonderful with the boys!! She's taking them swimming since I just got permission to go back into the water.
Alexander is adjusting to school, not as fast as I would have hoped, but he only goes 2 days a week, so hopefully he will be doing better.
Johnathan is looking forward to K-4, but that program doesn't start till after the 1st of Sept.
Things have been relatively calm and quiet here lately.
Getting ready for all things to start back up with Soccer, CCD, bowling and the continuation of Gymnastics!!
