Okay, so we were planning on starting school on the 30th, but per the kids request we will be starting school next Monday. They have been asking daily this past week when we are going to start school so I figured it was time to start. This is why I write everything in my lesson planner in pencil.
I'm still planning on waiting to start Steven until the 30th, and then he'll only do his workbooks 3 days a week, and the other two he'll color or play or "read" while the older kids are doing their work.
Willow is still working on walking. She is attempting to stand on her own now, she'll stand up on things, and then let go for a couple of seconds. No steps away yet though. She's able to say "hi", "bye" and "nigh nigh" (night, night), and wave when she does it. SOO cute! Oh, and the dancing! She dances! I LOVE it!
I"m looking forward to Halloween now too. I have James and Jade, and possibly Willow covered. Just need to see if James's old army outfit will fit on Steven, and then everyone is covered. Except maybe Michael and I.
I have also decided to start buying birthday and Christmas presents. I have to think of what to get Willow and Jade first, we're having their party on November 6th. Then Steven is going to have his party on the 27th (his birthday actually) with his cousin (for the purpose of explanation, and of sorts) Hailey. Her birthday is on the 28th, so we're going to combine them! I'm looking forward to it!
The end of this year feels like it's going to go by fast, it's not too long until R&R, then we'll have Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years! Then the rest of the deployment ought to go by really fast right??? Here's hoping!
I can't believe how much older the kids will be when Michael is finally able to come home! It's just crazy!
Well, when we start school I'll be making another post, to talk about our first day of 1st grade!
