End of 1st Quarter

Today marks the end of the 1st Quarter of 2nd grade. Both kids ended up getting the teachers they wanted for the school year. Mikaela got the teacher that gives "popsicle parties" and extra time for recess for good behavior. Devin got a teacher that "doesn't yell" as compared to last year's teacher. They are both doing very well. Mikaela is strong in reading, Devin strong in math but they are both catching up to each other as far as their strengths.

This season they are once again playing pee-wee soccer for 4-7 year olds. This will be their last season on this team. In the Spring they will go on 2 separate teams playing for the County on the 8 year old team - which ought to be very interesting - 2 kids playing and practicing on 2 different teams! YIKES the logistics alone are freaking me out! lol

Devin is still in his Boy Scouts troop. Mikaela decided she did not want to do Girl Scouts again this year - the last troop she was in wasn't very organized. Now we're trying to figure out what activity she will do after soccer season - she's thinking maybe basketball. Devin wants to try his hand at Tae Kwon Do.

And on another note - the weather out here has been just beautiful! Here it is mid-October and we're still in the mid-70's. Oh yeah - and of course - Sunday I had to go buy Mikaela all new pants because she has outgrown all the pants I bought for her back in April - she pretty much skipped by the size 6's but isn't quite a 7. Maybe I should have paid better attention in home-ec and learned how to hem!
