My 2 Kids For Him
I don't really have much to blog about. But my sis-in-law has been letting me know what a bad job I'm doing of keeping a blog . Hmmmm....last entry was Jan. 21st.....maybe she's right! Anyway, since my last entry we've had 2nd semester co-op classes to start back up, a youth group skating party, a couple of orthodontist appointments, kids had physicals for the first time in years, Dd was sick and had to go to the Dr. for the first time in years, we've had revival that was scheduled for 4 nights but ended up going 6 nights, we had another snow...this one bigger than the last, our youth barbecue fund raiser, and Dd had a dance competition. Now, let me back up and say a little more on some of those happenings :) For co-op classes this semester my daughter (a freshman) is taking a Civics class, public speaking, an all girl drama, choir, (also voice which isn't part of the co-op), and Cotillion. Everythings going good except for Civics.....she is not loving the studying and the testing. Two things I haven't put a lot of emphasis on during our homeschooling years. Before this year, I've never been big on test.....we correct as we go and don't move on until we get it....so I held off on testing much until the highschool years.I'm wondering, if I had it to do over, would I change that? Nope, I don't believe I would . But I am glad she's getting the chance to see what it's like to be accountable to some one else besides mom for some school work.On to the ortho appointments I mentioned. If you've followed my blog any length of time you know my daughter wore braces for 3 1/2 years. Well, she now has 3, yep three braces on her back teeth. Sounds crazy I know, but her dentist wanted a tooth in the very back uprighted, so the orthodontist is trying to fix it. Next I believe I mentioned my daughter being sick....for 2 weeks she just didn't feel good, coughed, low energy and just wasn't herself. I finally gave in and got her antibiotics and in no time she was better. I also told you both my kids had physicals for the first time in years, and they also had a couple of shots to catch up on. They weren't scared or nervous, but my son nearly passed out after leaving the Dr.'s office. It was really kinda weird. Anyway, he got over it and was fine after about 20 minutes or so. And as you know, I can't make an entry without a picture. So here's a picture of dd's class rehearsing for the competition....  My pictures didn't turn out worth a hoot from the competition, but at least you can see what their outfits look like here. They clogged to Soul Man and won 2 trophys. High Gold and a trophy of Distinction. A few more pictures to share....   My son is.....well, being himself. My daughter is....well, being herself too:) (Only she will get that) My daughter's charger to her laptop is broken, so I've been blessed with a massive amount of pictures from her camera onto my computer and these were 2 of them. Well, I didn't think I had much to say, but this entry has turned out kinda long. But I do hope my sis-in-law enjoys  . |
