Lunar Eclipse

Well like jen i got up as well to see the moon. I however did not make my kids get up, they would have whined more about having to wake up when it was dark than anything so i just let them sleep. I did take a pic to but my $500 camera is a big ol piece of crap when it comes to taking pics in the dark :( so i will post the pic that i got but you cant really tell that its a moon like jens. It just kinda looks like a big red spot on some black paper. hope everyone has a great week:)

FIRST DAY OF FIRST GRADE!!!

Well it has finally got here. The first day of school. We have been counting down the days since August the 1st. She is a big 1st grader this year. Her teachers name is Ms. Boles( sounds like bowls) and she has a couple of kids in her class that she had last year. She is at a brand new school this year The Willis D Shaw Elementary. We werent even sure they would be done working on it, so that they could open it. But they did thank goodness:) Seh came home yestarday and said they learned the meaning of the would fluency meaning all or most of the kids in her school speak fluen ENGLISH. :) (not spanish) thats why we chose this school. She has a spelling test of 8 words on fridays and every monday they will send home the DREADED HOMEWORK Folder and it has to all be done by Thursday and turned back in. She doesnt seem to mind the spelling part. Shes a pretty good speller. Her writing i think will be the hard part. But on a better note the boys seem to be so happy and calm now that things have gone back to normal with her back at school. Of course now easton wants to go to school but hes not sure he can go by himself he seems a little scared but Addy will be in the same hall way as him next year so that should help him ease into the whole Kindergarten thing very nicely. were working on all the things he needs to know And working on his attitude. he can be quite mean sometimes. Well not really much else to report. just thought i would let everyone know school was good so far,

Only 5 more days til school starts:)

Well we did it, we got our school shopping done for the year. New clothes, new shoes and all the school supplies one could need. Now if only it were the first day. However. we have to use my dads address for Addy to go to one of the good schools. Not really a bad thing except the hateful B**** at the school doesn't really like the fact that were doing that. So this year i had my stepmom go register addy for school. she told the lady that addy lived with her. so now addy has to stay the night with her grandparents four nights a week or they get fined $500.00 per person. They are making her sign an affidavit saying she stays there so were gonna let her. Eventually the Old Bat will get over it and she wont have to stay but we don't want her to have to lie and say she lives there if shes not. But however for Addy this is like heaven. She gets to go to a school with friends from last year and she gets to spend the nights with her grandma and papa. They will drop her off with us in the AM and pick her up in the evenings after work. So she will still be with us every day. and on the weekends. We chose this school not knowing that the hateful lady from her old school would be transferring there. And because the one where we live is ALL mexican and marshallese people. Really there are 2 full school buses that let off on our street and maybe white kids out of both buses, so not a whole lot of them at that school. My thoughts were there were alot of kids that i went to school with that lived with there grandparents and it was no big deal. I mean get over it they don't even have enough kids up here to fill up the school as it is anyway. but on a happier note only 5 more days. so were excited for the first grade and trying to get little brother ready for kindergarten next year, we have behavioral issues we have to work on with him or we may be in the principals office everyday next year. well hope all of you have a great week. later

Only 12 more days!!!!:)

Lets see only 12 more days and yay SCHOOL STARTS. That means only me and the boys at home. It may take me all year to get easton ready for school next year. Since addy has been home he has not been quite the nice little calm boy he is when she is at school. So we have alot to work on and get him ready for. But only 12 more days. I will just keep telling myself that. She is excited. I think shes ready to be a Big FIRST Grader. No more little kindergartener. Now come the days of HOMEWORK. she really has no clue what she has coming for her. I am hoping that the school i want to send her to ( the one with the majority of white children), no i am not racist i just dont understand how an english speaking teacher can teach all the kids if OVER half of the DO NOT speak ANY english. Any way the school is not even finished being built yet and they have so little time to do it. I will keep my fingers crossed. The only thing bad about the school is where its located, kinda out in the middle of a field in the middle of Nowhere. Its like the perfect place for some pshychotic person to hit up. Seems that up here they dont like the ones in the middle of town, but i know that she will be safe they are pretty good about not letting people past the office. and since its the first thing you see when you walk in the doors. well i guess thats all for now. nothing to exciting has happened around here today.
