    I love that picture of Alex on the beach! She is such a little sweetheart to leave you those notes, too!


    So are the kids liking their teachers and classes?

    They are, Alex has the same teacher Lucas did when he was in 1st grade and we love her and she loved Lucas- so win-win. His third grade teacher is awesome too- we are just trying to survive 3rd grade homework which is a ton more and due nightly instead of a weekly packet.

    Yes I wish I could freeze him at the age he is! Well freeze him right after he figures out the whole potty training thing

    Excellent! Maybe this same teacher will have all three of your kids for first grade at one point or another! :o)


    Lex has never had a teacher do the weekly packet homework style. It does sound like it would be a bit easier to handle that way, especially if one of your nights during the week is much busier than the others!

    Thank you! I started this meme after a really hard month several years ago when I was having a hard time thinking of anything good-- needed to look back and change my perspective.

  21. EmmymomAugust 27, 2013 at 12:19 PM

    Awesome! I hope it helps your sister out. My kids are a bit picky too-espeically when it comes to how they will eat certain foods- i.e. will eat lots of cooked vegetables but not many raw and these are lunches they loved

    Those are some great things to smile about! I love the ramp bowling. I'm sure Nick wishes we had that when we went bowling last weekend. He had a hard time getting the ball down the lane.

    Yes, Ryder's ball always barely makes it as he doesn't push it hard enough but it always does.
