Back to normal??

The first two events I planned for the school went well! Safety Day was so neat. The kids loved seeing all the safety vehicles and learning about the police/crime stoppers, Paramedics and Firefighters! They especially liked getting to ask questions! A big thank you goes out to the service people who talked for 3 hrs straight for our kids!! Primary Focus came on Friday and did a show about character traits. It was such a neat show!! The kids were thrilled and Owen didn't mind watching it twice! We even bought the CD and DVD! Gwyn and Owen have been listening to the CD in the car and in the house constantly all weekend! If it affected all the other kids like this I say it was definitely a hit! Although with the first two events going so well I have set myself a high standard for the rest of the year! We also found out Gwyn's teacher Mrs Ryan will be having a baby on May 3! So I will be helping her as much as I can! I will not be at the school as much now that we've gotten the first 6 weeks and 2 big events out of the way! Once a month PTO meeting, once a month special event and helping Mrs Ryan once or twice a week for a couple hrs is all I will need to be at the school for so maybe I will be able to get things back to normal around here! On a personal note my thyroid is finally back to normal and I have lost 30 lbs in the last few months! So exercise here I come 30 down and 30 to go! Owen has started the so your baby can read program and LOVES it! Gwyn is past her first 6 weeks of school and has a 92 in math and an 86 in language and she starts Good News Club on Tuesday! Mike has been a little sick this week, but has helped me out tremendously around the house, and still worked! I am lucky to have such a great husband! That's about it for now and I'm about to turn into a pumpkin...so nighty night!

First Grade!

Well school started three weeks ago and Gwyn once again LOVES school. Her teacher is Mrs Ryan and she is great we both like her alot. Owen and I lived up at the school the last 3 weeks getting ready for the schools fundraiser that was last Saturday! We had a great turnout for our 2nd Annual Family Fun Run. The kids spent the night with Pop and Zanna friday night then Pop0 did the walk and played games with them! They all had a great time! This week i'm tring to catch up on the houshold chores I have missed out on and Gwyn gets to go back to her much loved social time riding the bus. Owen doesn't mind not getting woken up early everyday either! Maybe life will get back to normal. I have also started making natural stone jewlery and selling it! I have sold all 4 of my first sets. I am also in the process of making a whole bunch of my baby headbands for a craft sale. Mike of couse is working all the time, but luckily he is still getting every other weekend off so we do get some family time. He actually got to go to open house, Gwyn was so glad to show her daddy her stuff at school! Well thats about all for now. I promise it won't be 9 months before my next post this time!
