Ready For School!
We had such a wonderful 1st week of school. The boys are loving their days with their friends and new teachers. They are up early every morning rearing to go!
This year seems like it will go smoother with less of a homework load for Logan. Last year was tough because they were doing 5th grade level math in 4th grade! We would spend at least an hour on homework every night so it made for short evenings. He made high honors the entire year so all the hard work paid off!
Jacob is doing well too. His body is trying to adjust to an “all day” schedule. I’ve noticed that he’s getting very tired. He plays so hard at school all day and then comes home and plays even harder and then crashes of exhaustion or frustration. Hopefully he will manage to get some sleep this weekend to get caught up.
Flash Is Ready For School!
Last night we had a very special night for Jacob. Gramma Patterson came to the rescue again and encouraged J to ride his bike without his training wheels (She had to do this for Logan also!). We tried early in the summer to convince him he could ride without them but he wasnt ready yet. So with grammies encouragement he decided last night was it! Yeah. Many of you that have toddlers know it isnt very easy to ride down sidewalks and streets with training wheels on for a family bike ride. He’d hit bumps, cracks and small hills and would topple over and sometimes really wipe out! So, our bike rides havent been that long. They usually mean us riding a couple blocks and then returning home. Jacob asked if we could take a family bike ride tonight so we will see how long and far we are able to ride!
Hope you all have a Great weekend!
Want to send extra special wishes to my nephew, Colby, who is turning 4 tomorrow and will be celebrating his b-day in virginia where he lives. He is having his party at the zoo with his family and friends. I hope you have a wonderful time with grandpa! Happy Birthday! Luv and Miss You!
