Seriously, who ordered this heat? It's been the high nineties to hundreds all last week and most of this week. We did have a break over the weekend but now the heat is back. We would have loved those temps during the summer when we could go swimming and cool off instead of having to sit in classrooms and hot offices to do our work. It's nearly October. Aren't the leaves supposed to be falling off of the trees or something?
My dear daughter had four teeth pulled on Monday. Four! Can you see the holes in her smile? (And yes, she is torturing poor Lynx on a regular basis, see his expression? We see that a lot.) One tooth was a badly rotten permanent tooth that could not be saved and was causing her major pain. The other three had to come out because they were hindering the permanent teeth under them from coming in properly. After all the healing then, it's off to the ortho to get a retainer to aide her teeth in going where they are supposed to be.Can you say $$$$. Yep, we'll be pinching pennies for a while. I don't think it'll be that bad, but we'll need to be careful.
While Bethany was home yesterday, due to stitches in her mouth and a need to keep an ice pack on her face, she did her school work. Somehow she thought the above statement asked for the name of her lunch. Uh, Bethany Honey, we do not go to church at Ramen Noodles (yes, I know she spelled it terribly wrong).
Speaking of school work, why does fourth grade bring with it soooo much homework? Ugh! I hate homework. Yes, hate is a strong word, and I am strongly opposed to homework.
Okay, so that's not entirely true, but I am not liking this workload we're attempting to balance out. Not fun!
BUT, he is enjoying fourth grade, homework and all, so I guess I really don't have so much to complain about.
Yes, my child is slightly crazy.... or easily amused with herself. You choose.Note: These pictures are before the big teeth removing appointment.
And I know you want to know more about Lynx. Lynx has gotten HUGE!
Okay, not really but he is about three times the size of when we found him on August 7th. And he likes to sleep in the oddest of places...
...with his mouth hanging wide open. I have never seen a cat do this, but he does it all. the. time. Either that or he just lays around....
...looking adorable!Oh and I told the first graders in reading group today to write down their homework pages 76 - 85. When I checked to make sure they had written it correctly I noticed one of them had written 7B6 instead of 76. :) Can you tell she still doesn't pronounce her words quite right yet? It was so cute!
That's it for us. Hope your days are filled with happiness, love, but most of all God's presence.
Over and out!
You can't tell she was happy that day can you?
No mommy picture because I forgot to get out from behind the camera. Oh well.
They love having shoe pictures :)
3rd Grade this year!
4th Grade this year and his room is up the stairs!
Elisha showing off his goods.
The kids took turns driving the mule back to grandma's house. Country dirt roads are the best for this kind of fun!
And, as in past years, the kids followed their usual pattern and crashed on the way back home.
Last day of swimming lessons. The kids did great and both moved up a level. Elisha's confidence in his abilities really soared with this swim class.
Her actual birthday is Monday, but since that is the first day of school, we celebrated today.
