Hi, everyone:) Time is just flying by:( Next month is Brett's 11th birthday already!!! Easter is already done, too! Ok, so what's been going on the past couple of months??? I think the last time I blogged was just after our annual Green Bay trip to Disney on Ice. The kids have been doing very well. No one has been too sick, but they both had pretty bad coughs a couple weeks ago, so they both stayed home from school one day. I really had to watch Brett & make sure he used his inhaler. I swear, my heart skips a beat everytime he coughs!!!
Brett has been going through "girlfriends" left & right. He can't seem to make up his mind who he likes the most (apparently he thinks all of them are great!). Wonderful... He loves 4th grade:) He has lots of friends:) He's getting better at washing the dishes, although daddy still gets mad at him pretty often for dirty ones:( He loves to play Super Mario Bros Wii with me:) We're quite good at it:) Although my partner gets grounded off of it too often:( He fell off of his bike the other day & scraped both of his arms pretty good:( No broken bones, though:)He is pretty excited that his cousins, Hunter & Quinton, are here from Georgia for the week:)
Lexie had a boyfriend for about a week. My nephew, Taylor, said that he was an idiot, but I don't know him. Anyway, that's over. She's been spending some time with my neice, Kylee, and she's loving every minute of that:) Kylee crimped Lexie's hair last weekend - I've got pics:) She's enjoying 3rd grade, but there are a couple of girls (one in particular) who aren't very nice to her:( I just keep on telling her to ignore them, but she's a little upset by it. She's made friends with a couple of little girls who live on our road - Hooray!!! Grace is in 1st grade & Emily is in 2nd. They are 7&8. It's so nice to see her play with other little girls:) She's participating in the Lemmer talent show on Thursday night @6. Her & her friend Sarah are going to sing a song:) I can't wait!! I gotta make sure my video camera is all charged up:)
So, as you can see, both of them are doing very well:) They are around 100% on their AR already. (Accelerated Reading for those who don't know). They are supposed to be doing 25% each marking period & it's just the beginning of the 4th, so they are ahead of schedule:) The great thing is that I don't have to force them:) They LOVE to read!! Both of them have a reading level at least one grade ahead of them:) Oh, Lexie just got her MEAP scores back for Math & Reading and she scored above average in both categories:)
All in all, I can honestly say that I am quite proud of my two brats:) They fight quite a bit these days, but what siblings don't??? They are both signed up for soccer this summer & I got Lexie a new pair of roller blades yesterday (she's been wearing mine which are size 9! She wears a 6!). I will be sure to take pics of her - she fell on her butt walking out the door with them on, but it didn't stop her:) That's my girl:) Ok - I'm going to try to post some pics tonight, too, but I can't promise anything - you know I have dial-up:(
Have a great day, everyone:)
