Alex-School is going well this year. He's showing a new maturity, a large part of which is due to sports. We have a rule that he has to act like a 9 year old to do the sports and he's doing a good job of stepping up to that role and getting his homework and chores done. Cross Country finished in September and the new sport is Basketball. He goes to practice 2 mornings a week and has 1 game a week after school.
Sammy-For the first time there are activities for 3rd graders this year so Sammy is busy 2 afternoons a week. He's more into academics than sports. He's doing Lego Robotics and Battle of the Books. He's really turned into a reader and his report card is great in all areas!
Katie-Kindergarten is moving along, we've picked up a few bad habits from the kiddos in the class, but we're also moving along on our learning and the alphabet and numbers are coming right along. I think it was the right move to put her in so young. Her weakness is her writing skills but she'll get there as she gets older...
Katie and Alex loved riding the horses...
We took a hay ride to the maze. The Hay Maze was the highlight of the boys. It was tough! They ran after the tootsie roll bandit (if you caught him you got a tootsie roll). Katie like the lollipop fairy, who gave out lollipops and helped those in trouble.
Pretty morning in the Butte, around 30 degrees and sunny and clear... Beautiful location with lots of great views. The kids liked how they opened up a field and "planted" lots of pumpkins for kids to choose from...
