Isn't He Smart

We've had this stool in our bathraoom since Ally's was Kase's size so that the kids could reach the sink. Kase is however the only one smart enough to carry it all over the house in order to get what ever it is he wants that he can't reach. You better keep an eye on your coke. The scary things is other than coke the main thing he is interested in, is the stuff cooking on the stove. I may have to hide the stool to keep him from getting burned. (I know that sell some sort of child safety cover, I may have to find it)

Homework

Tomrrow will put an end the the first week of school. Both girls had a great week. Lunch was only left at home once. (it happened to be the day Ally wanted to eat at school, so I wonder how accidental it was) All in all it's been a really good week. Ally has had a lot of fun, her teacher believes into easing into the work. Ally had special cookies at school, lots of playground time, and art time. However, her favorite time of the week was when Samantha had homework. Ally just about did a victory dance all over the house. It didn't matter that Samantha's homework was short and sweet. All that mattered was that Samantha had it and she didn't.

What a Good Sunday

Today was Ally first Sunday staying back in the first grade class. I was really nervous about it. I was really afraid that she would really be upset when her freinds movined on without her. Good News, it didn't even seemed to bother her. She seemed perfectly happy.

WFMW

It's time again for WFMW! Make sure and go to
Shannon's site to get all the other great ideas.

My idea today has to do with packing lunch for school. It seems that everytime I go to make the kids lunches all the food I bought at the store has been eaten and there is nothing left for lunches. I placed a basket in the top of the cabinet, and when I come home from the store I place all that I need to save for lunch up in that basket. The basket is on the top shelf so it's pretty much out of site, and everyone know the items in this bag are not for snacking. I even go ahead and seperate chips into seperate ziplock baggies. I also place the fridge items in the bottom drawer. It's less likely to be eaten if it's not seen.

Mexican Beauties

Aunt Befry went to Mexico and did a little haggling. She brought some beautiful dresses and wreaths back for the girls. She also brought Kase what she calls a "dirty old man shirt." Samantha picked up this little nick name and told people at church that Kase was wearing his "dirty old man shirt." I was glad they did not tell this to any "dirty old men" who might own one of these at home.

First Grade

Well we've done it. After a lot of agonizing we have decided that Ally is going to do the first grade again. Reading just isn't coming for her. We worked on it at home this summer, and she is attending speech, but all that just doesn't seem to be helping. Staying in fist grade at school doesn't really bother her too much, because a she was with that class just a very short time. Church is the hard part. She has a group of really good girl friends at church that will move on without her. She could move on up, but I think it would be harder when that group moves up to sixth grade. She also has really stuggled with going to Sunday school this year. I'm not sure, but I think class may have been hard for her.
