Blahs

WARNING: This post will travel in several directions...

I have the blahs! Horrible blahs! I can't quite get motivated to do much of anything. We have had a significant chance of rain for what feels like FOREVER but it really has only been a week or so. It is hard at the beginning of a school year to not be able to play outside or have to stay on the concrete. Luckily, it hasn't been that bad for my class and they are amazing kiddos that have adjusted well to doing some inside movement!


Kylie was on Breakfast with Tom on Channel 11 a few Friday's ago. It was a reward to the current 4th graders who made Advanced on BOTH Math and Reading on the Arkansas Benchmark tests in 3rd grade (which is the highest level). That happened to also be "Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character" day at school. She went as Charlotte from Charlotte's Web. Now, she decided this at around 9:30 on Thursday night. I ran to Wal-Mart after getting everyone in bed and gathered up thick black tights, poly-fil, a black long sleeved shirt and large safety pins. She was happy with the end result...JD wasn't too sure and I was just glad it semi-looked like a spider!! She had to be at school by 5:30 a.m. the next morning so it was a long night and morning came quick! JD took her and the two pics are from his phone and are a little blurry and the first one is from home.







On another note, because she is in a company class for dance she is able to audition for a part in a full ballet performance at Christmas of the Little Match Girl (a Hans Christian Andersen story). She is really excited! Practices are on Saturdays for 10 weeks. I'm sure there will be a few future posts about that!

Other than that, we have been up to NOTHING! Hopefully, it doesn't rain next week too!!
