Back to school 2010

This summer has gone by so fast!  Much faster it seems than summers in the past - does that mean I'm getting old???  Piercen has gone to Jr. High!!  He is such a great kid - I really hope that he finds some really great kids like him to be friends with.  His best friend moved to New Mexico over the summer so he is really going the Jr. High route alone.  It makes me nervous for him.  He has already heard all of the swearing and the rude and crude talking in the halls.  Hopefully he will remember who he is and what he stands for.

Jax is a big ol 5th grader this year.  He has a new teacher and just LOVES her.  He was asking all day yesterday if he could go back to school.  I just about fainted!!  He has never really liked going to school.  Whatever this new teacher is doing - I hope she keeps it up!!

Maddie has many of her friends from her Primary class that are going to school this year - so she has been feeling left out.  So we decided to get a pre-school book and start learning here at home.  She is SO cute about it!  When it is 'school' time she calls me teacher.  So far we have been working on colors, cutting, and sorting.  She even gets stickers and treats for a job well done.

Donsters is OBSESSED with the Cars movie.  I don't think the work obsessed is strong enough!  He seriously watches the darn movie every day!  He is just so cute about it I can't tell him no.  He takes you by the hand over to the TV, points at the dvd player and says please.  Then as you get down to put the movie in he almost jumps out of his skin with excitements - jabbering and giggling - pointing at the tv and saying "ar" (that's as close as he gets so far.)  Then he tells you thank you - it's his best phrase so far and he says it for everything!  I just LOVE to hear him talk!

I've got another pack meeting tomorrow so I'd better head off to get the awards and get my plans finalized  :)
