I am eagerly anticipating a new week...and up way too late!! Karsyn has gymnastics tomorrow and Walt has his 1st scrimage..with any luck.. I'll be able to make both. The craziness is about to begin..Xavier's football games start this weekend and Karsyn has cheer camp on Saturday and Sunday. I am also planning another neighborhood yard sale for Saturday morning...not to mention all of our normal weekly activities...YAY!! As crazy as it sounds, and I'll have to remind myself I actually wrote this down.. I am looking forward to it!! These last couple of weeks have been nice and the weekends have been extra wonderful..doing nothing, but, I'm ready to be busy again!! I think it's what we do best...the hustle and bustle...I'm not really a sit still kind of girl..just in case you didn't know!! I struggle with silence..I struggle with stillness..neither are things that I really wish for, unless its been an awful day!!
This past week we got report cards back and I am so proud of my babies!! Xavier brought home a 97 average!! He actually got a 100 in Social Studies!! He was proud to boast about these grades, seeing as how he has had a couple of lectures about those 80's bringing down his average...and how he needs to slow down and check his work, think about the answers!!! We were super proud!! His grade also took assessment test and he scored above average on all of them..still some work to do to meet the objectives but he is right on track..He growing so much..he walked into the kitchen one afternoon last week and I just grabbed him up and squeezed him..goodness, I think he grew a foot at school that day..where has my chubby baby boy gone???
Walter P brought home his report card and his teacher wrote us a note that he is a super hard worker!! They don't get grades the 1st 6weeks because they call it an adjustment period. His honors day was Friday. Joe had to go into work and I had the babies, so I wasn't able to go.. I thought Walt would be upset but he was fine and proudly exclaimed when he came in that afternoon that it was good I didn't go.. all he got was just a pencil for AR!! Out of the mouths of babes!! That pencil turned out to be for his reading and I informed him that it was important and that we were super proud he's working that hard on his reading already in just the 1st six weeks!! He was able to go home with Ms Jessica and Jake Friday afternoon and then got to spend the night after the game.. He & Jake had a wonderful time playing...it's good for him to play with someone without Xavier there... he needs to be little every now and then..Bubba always expects him to be as big as he is!! That's why Walt is such a tuff little joker!! He never gets a break! (but he wouldn't have it any other way!)
Miss Karsyn is forevermore our social bug all of a sudden....She is so funny speaking to everyone at the football game and even had a friend, Rily, come and sit with us!! If you knew K before school, you understand when I say there has been a tremendous change!! It's amazing!
Miss K is definitely more outgoing and opinionated..Also, she has been writing all over the place.. I even have Savanna's name in pen on my bathroom counter, now!! She is ready for Halloween and even though she knows that she is going to wear her Jasmine costume..she still insists on being Carloine again!! Should be interesting!!
We mad Christmas lists this week.. Xavier wishes for a Curran white GA Jersey, some Lego Star Wars thing and Metal Gear for his Xbox..Walt wants a Greene white GA Jersey and some kind of game for the XBOX, I don't remember off the top of my head..the bad thing is that they both have birthdays too.. What's a mom to do...go crazy, as usual!! Karsyn wants the Three Musketeers Barbie movie and the Barbie to match..she has found twin babies that she wants and that's all..well, she wants a trampoline..but unfortunately for her, Santa doesn't allow trampolines, even for good little girls!!;)
Well, I must rest up for this crazy week....for tomorrow...I'm excited..It's Just Another Day in Paradise!!!
