When I turned my computer on this morning, this picture above is what was looking back at me. It got me to thinking of how amazingly crazy and awesome this school has been for our family! How much we have all grown physically and spiritually. I couldn't have asked for a more awesome school year!
As you know, I started at a new school this year. I was super worried about how different teaching middle school vs. high school would be, and I was pleasantly surprised! I loved my students and the people I work for so much that I didn't have much time to think about it being middle school. I did have some ups and downs this year but over all, it was by far the best year teaching I've had!
At home, well, if you're on Facebook, then you know what's been going on there! But there have also been some little things that have changed since September that I'm not sure if I have documented! For example, this morning, both boys had spent the night with a friend. As you know, Lynleigh is hit or miss when it comes to them and how she feels about their presence. Well, today, they weren't there and I noticed that she cried a lot more while I was getting ready! I think she actually missed them but didn't know how to express it! She is talking so much more. Most of her words are still gibberish to us but she is passionate about what she says! Example, yesterday when she and Tony got home, Tony was holding her shoes. He dropped the shoes on the floor and when Lynleigh saw him drop them, she started pointing her finger "fussing" at him and then walked over and hit him! Now I know that hitting isn't nice, but it was so funny, I had to hid behind a pillow and laugh!
And speaking of her shoes, this girl is serious about them! She likes to choose the shoes she wears each day, which is usually her tennis shoes we got in China. She is still obsessed with her glittery Toms but unfortunately, they are too small. She will ask you to put them on her and then carry her because they hurt her feet! She's such a diva! Needless to say, we will be buying more Toms after Disney! And then there's the matter of no shoes. When we brought her home, she HAD to have shoes on at all time. I mean, I totally understand! I like to have shoes on too! But she's slowly conforming to the ways of the South and will go all day, even outside, without shoes! It's crazy!
Now to the boys. They both had amazing years at DeSoto Central schools! Kaden LOVED kindergarten!! He had one of the greatest teachers I've ever met and she taught him so much! I was worried he wouldn't like school but he loves it! He got perfect attendance this year which is huge because he's our sick kid! Brady also had a great year! His teacher was one of the best as well! We love her and are excited that she will be looping next year so he will have her for 5th grade! I would have to say his worst moment this year would have been getting strep the second to last week of school. Brady prides himself on perfect attendance at school and he missed his first day in two years! Oh well, he'll get back on track next year!
Now, I sit patiently and wait for what ever time the announcement is made that we can officially begin our summer! We are jammed packed with funness this year! Disney next week, Texas at the end of the month. Brady is going to Math and Science camp and we are joining the YMCA for some major pool time. We are also hoping to move into a new house this summer. Looks like next school year will be here before we know it...but let's not think about that right now!
Hooray! Happy Summer!
