September

September is just flying by. We have been keeping busy like usual. We finally decided that we have had enough slivers from our old play set in the back yard so we finally took it down.

And hauled all the wood off.

We now just have a sandbox in the corner.  It has really opened up our back yard and makes playing ball easier that's for sure.

We had our very first Parent Teacher Conference with Michael's teacher this week.  She had many wonderful things to say about him!  He has 5 A's, 3 Outstandings and 1 Satisfactory.  It has been amazing to see how much he has learned in a very short amount of time.

He can now count above 50, he knows all the sounds the letters make plus many of the other 44 phonograms.  He can write all the letters and numbers the proper way and his teacher has been so impressed with how well he can write his name. 

I can't wait to see how much more he learns through out this year!

I am slowly getting used to the school time commute.  It takes us about 15 minutes to drive him to school, drop him off and watch him run off to the play ground.  We then drive home wait 2 hours then I load the kids back up in their carseats, drive 15 minutes, wait in a long line of cars for 10 to 15 minutes until it is our turn to pick up Michael.  And then drive home again. 

The highlight of the trip for all three kids is the snack I give them for the ride home after school. :)
