Well, we have been busy getting back to normal after our fabulous Disney trip back in Sept. Hard to believe it was a month ago! It has been hard on Daniel getting caught up with missing school work, but I think he has finally done it. We seemed to have gotten our daily routines in order, even though it is hard on me getting up earlier in the mornings to get Daniel to Middle School. Ugh!
James is back to taking guitar lessons since he seems to have gotten more serious about playing. All summer long he was picking up his guitar and playing, which I was thrilled to see. I think it has helped a lot that he is now taking Concerta for his ADD. It helps him stay focused and not get distracted while he's playing. He's doing really good at it and I am so proud of him!
Daniel is now taking hockey lessons and is loving it! He is so into hockey right now and his dream is to be a goalie. He's only had two lessons so far, but I was surprised at how well he skated esp. since he hasn't ice skated since he was 4 or 5 years old! However, he loves to rollerblade and is really good at that...so I bet that helped him a lot with getting ice skates on since they are pretty similar. He told me the other day that he is dying for Sunday to come (lesson day!), LOL! Glad to see he found something he likes to do other than playing on the computer.
James is also taking a class one night a week after school that is a Science class. Dad and I heard about the class and thought he would LOVE it, so we signed him up. However, James wasn't as convinced about it as much as we were and complained about not wanting to do it. After the first night of class, he totally changed his mind and LOVES it! They are doing really cool and interesting experiments. The first class he learned about using batteries, tinfoil and small light bulbs and how you can make the light bulbs glow using just those three items! I am thrilled he is happy about the class now and excited for him at learning these cool hands on experiments.
One of these days I will get Elizabeth enrolled in a dance class. I think she would really enjoy that. We also need to get her into some swimming lessons, too! That is definitely something she needs to learn.
Tomorrow we will be going to James' school in the evening for their Fall Fun Fest! We go every year and have so much fun. There are all kinds of games for the kids to play to earn little trinkets and candy, there is a hay ride for all of us, we get a hot dog, donut and apple cider, plus the kids get to paint a pumpkin. The school always does a great job and I take tons of pictures to remember these moments to treasure them every year! I hope the weather will be nice like it has been!
Well, that is about it. Nothing else major is going on. Perry is home this week and it is looking hopeful that he will be home next week, too. Yeah! I can't wait for his new job responsibilities to start up, as that will mean a lot less travel which will be wonderful having him home with us.
