Is spring here yet?

Oops! I missed a week, but I'm back. We haven't had a very eventful 2 weeks but it has bee very cold, wet, and snowy. The weather has left me wondering when spring will be here to stay.


We did have parent teacher interviews. Noah's went very well he showed me he could do everything he was supposed to do except one thing, Rhyming. Noah has problems identifying and creating rhymes, so he needs lots of practice.
I did not attend an interview for Mikayla as I just talked to her teacher not long ago. She is reading at a gr.5 level and is top of her class in math. No problems for Mikayla.
For Lana I did an interview over the phone. She is the top student in her class and helps the other students when she finishes her own work.


This week, today in fact, we had the Rotary Music Festival. Both Mikayla and Lana performed songs with their music classes. They did very well. Mikayla's Gr.3 class also did a couple of recitations of poems they learned. She was quite nervous but did well.


Last week we had a bit of an family(extended) situation that I won't expand on, but the kids are dealing well the repercussions that affect us.


I have been trying new recipes for dinners and have been fairly successful. Also our new schedule fro chores seems to be working, which means less work for me as the kids are actually helping. Andrew's favorite chore is vacuuming and although he is only scheduled to vacuum once a week he will take any opportunity to do it.


Ben is very lonely at work as his boss goes to Indiana frequently, but he keeps on working both at work and at home on our own vehicles.


Well that's it for this week.
