1st and 2nd grader

C says that over the summer he will be a 1st and 2nd grader--since he isn't really in either. Mr. Literal-again.

I am very impressed with what he has learned this year. Have I ever mentioned how much I like the A Beka curriculum? And the DVD program? Love it.

Would you like to see his "report card?" Here are his grades for 1st grade. (very official looking, huh?)

C's trio

C sang in church the Sunday evening of Mother's Day. It was also the start of our revival. The kids group did a whole program (so cute!) and one of the "specials" was a trio that C was in. He did such a good job. I asked him later if he was nervous. He looked at me like I was crazy and said "no" Well OK then.

Here is a link to hear his song. You can purchase the single on iTunes (just kidding!!!)

Good 'ole fashioned field day

Aunt T organized a field day for a bunch of homeschoolers on May 6th. It was a beautiful day! I ended up with burnt nose. C got a nice tan (lucky). K got a little burnt on her shoulders.

It started at 9:30 but we left the house at 8:30 to get ice and drinks. (We didn't get back to the house until 3pm). I think there were 15 kids that participated, 5 little ones, and 6 moms. Here are all the kids, except for the little ones. I think we had a pretty good turn out.

C getting ready for the obstacle course. They had to ride a tricycle, do jumping jacks, do forward rolls, jump over some orange cones, and run to the end.

Here is K's version of jumping jacks. Too funny.

I think the tug of war was the best game of the day. The kids did a really good job at it.

I call this the balloon dance. Each kid had a balloon tied to their foot. The goal was to protect their balloon while trying to pop everyone else's. C was one of the last 3 left standing.

this is K trying the sack race. She had such a hard time. The sack was bigger than her!

And there goes C in the sack race!

This was the water balloon fight (FYI: I filled the water balloons that morning. OMG! They are not easy) C won! He never dropped the balloon! Good hands!

This is K and the little guy I used to babysit doing the 3-legged race. (Funny side note: when Aunt T was setting this up, she kept calling it the one legged race. HUH?)
Aunt T even had medals for each kid. C getting his medal.

K getting her medal

After lunch and all the games, the kids went across the street and played on the playground. It was a very busy playground by that time.

All in all I think it was a very fun day. I was tired. The kids, well, do they every get tired?

AWANA awards 2010

AWANA awards was, well.............. sometime ago. Maybe the 1st Wednesday in May? Yeah pretty sure that was when. I've been so busy lately that I'm so behind in stuff (especially blogging), that I can't remember 'when was what.' I could get up and look at the calendar, but................. Yeah pretty sure it was the 1st Wednesday in May.

This was the best picture of the Cubbies (my group) getting awards. And K girl is on the back row, where you really can't see her. I think we gave out 19 awards that night. K did end up finishing her book. She did so much better than I thought she would.

C and his little friend were having a good time. Not sure what the topic of conversation was but they were having fun. I think the 1st picture is kinda funny. C is all smiles (actually a good smile for him) and his friend looks mad at the world. I don't think that was his intention, but still a funny picture.

Thankfully AWANA is over for the year. Next year I'm thinking of quitting. We are getting 2 sets of twins--not so very obedient twins. But I've been told I'm not alowed to quit. It's nice to feel needed? wanted?

Box Office Scores

Yankees are now 4 and 1.

C has had a hit every time he has been up to bat.


The game that they lost, they lost pretty bad. But they had some really really good plays!


He is supposed to have a game tonight but it has been raining pretty much all day. I'm just waiting for the "game cancelled" phone call.
