I hope everyone is enjoying their Sat.


Gabby kicked me out of the livingroom becasue her and a friend are watching the OUtsiders.We all made Kit Kat bar cookies earlir.I also made it to the grocery store and library,when Gab worked the Santa bkfst.Tonight dh has an employees only work party and Gab has her call back for the school play.The call back is 5 mins from our house,so that is a good thing,since it is kind of snowy.


Gab got her midterm grades yesterday.She is doing well.She has all A's with a few A+'s in there.The GC asked her to be a peer tutor.Not really sure she wants too,but she said she would try it and she can pick the classes she would like to help the 5th or 6th graders in.She chose English,SS,and Reading.we will see how it goes.

That's cool!

We have our Beta students tutor during "homework hut" (it's a 25 minute morning homework session in the library).

Good grades!!!

As of now, Aly may have 2 Bs (last I know, one was a 93% and one was a 91%). The 91% is band, and she's not an A student. The 93%, I have a teacher issue with that one, but I wasn't the first to complain (I didn't officially complain).

Slept in (until about 9:45), then wrapped the remaining presents I had to wrap (Santa gifts & the few gifts I bought from US since I wrapped everything). Aly still has the gifts from her to wrap...with special "penguin" wrapping paper..inside joke (book quote, of a book she hasn't even read, but I won't let her read it, but it's a series that she knows of, she's read the first 2).

Gabby actually has a 93 in one class too,but that is an A in our school.Isn't band one of those classes that everyone pretty much gets an A.I know for chorus all you have to do is show up for the concert and field trips and practices(during school hours) and you get an A.Oddly enough Gab's 93 is in reading.She was having trouble answer essay typr questions the same as the teacher would.However she did get her grade changed on 1 paper so that is how she got the 93,becasue her arguements for her answers were good.Plus she tole the teacher not everyone inturpts stuff the same way.They are reading Out of the Dust.I find it a little confusing since it is sort of written in prose.Whta instument does Aly play again?Clarinet?Flute?

Aly plays the Clarinet, and no it's not an A just for trying. They have tests & quizzes nearly every day, and they are graded on tempo, posture, getting the notes right, not squeaking, etc.

We loved it there!


We actually would love to live there, but we don't want to move the kids so far from their grandparents.


And I really don't think I could handle the winter, even though I love cold weather.


We will go back one of these days.


If we could afford it we would probably go every year, lol!

Yay on Gabby doing so well in school!


LOL about her kicking you out of the living room.


Abby doesn't ever tell me to leave the living room when she has a friend over, but usually they will stay upstairs as long as someone else is in the living room, then when the rest of us go upstairs they go down.


We had the PTA craft day at school today.

DYK:


Good evening....busy day for us....went running early this AM, its turned colder & windy. Went running this morning then took the girls out to the library to return books & borrow more. Rach is reading the last Twilight series book since it was in the 7 Day express. Then we took Rach to a club lacrosse tryout - hung out in the area, went grocery shopping then came back to pick Rach up. It started snowing near the end as her tryouts ran from 12:30p until 3p. Brrrrrr! The evaluators said since it was going to be colder tomorrow the additional tryout session was cancelled, yippee ;-)


Then drove up to my ILs to visit; my FIL's birthday was on Thursday so we dropped off a gift then took him out to dinner. Was still snowing when we went out to dinner but had tapered off after we finished & we dropped DH's parents off at their place.


Came home & took a shower, neighbor rang door bell close to 9p, of course I was getting dressed so had Rach answer the door. He brought over some cinnamon rolls & wanted to talk to DH. Phone then rang & it was the lacrosse club saying they wanted to offer Rach a spot. She wants to go to tryouts for her current team first as this is her "backup" option. I think that about sums up our day.....have a good night all!
