Sooooo much has happened in the last few weeks, I've not had time to stop and take a breath from it, let alone blog about it! But I'll see if I can fill you in...
Well, we've had the sickies at our house. First it was me, then Jeff, then me again and then Brooke and now Dylan. I was even sick on my 39th birthday! Yes, I am 39 (and holding!) I got a little cash from my parents and the in-laws and we got takeout from the Mexican place because I just didn't feel like going out.
I guess the best news (aside from the Creed reunion--hahahaha) is that my darling precious son was tapped into the National Honor Society! I am so proud of him! And I'm proud of his friends, too--most of them were tapped as well. In fact, I think I counted 5 from our church and three of those, including Dylan also made...
Super Scholar! Sometime ago, they all took the PSAT and scored in the top 100 sophomores in the Jefferson County school system! So that not only includes the 300+ sophomores at Clay-Chalkville, but also however many there are at Gardendale, Fultondale, Pinson, Pleasant Grove, Shades Valley, Jefferson County International Baccalaureate and whatever other schools that I can't think of that are in the system. There were only 16 from CC to make it and of those 16--3 were from Clearview! We have such outstanding youth! I am so proud of all of them!
Last Sunday, Easter Sunday to be exact, we took a family trip to Oak Mountain. We just picnicked, the kids rode paddle boats, the boys fished, sat around yapping and the girls hunted easter eggs. My Mom always hides money in her eggs! We didn't get to do the annual Easter beer hunt--too crowded. The beer drinkers in the family didn't want anyone else finding their beer! LOL
The Friday before Easter, we had to take a middle-of-the-night trip to the ER with Brooke. She couldn't breathe and we assumed she was having an asthma attack. Dylan and Kayti both developed exercise-induced asthma at her age and Jeff had asthma as a child. But they couldn't find anything wrong with her so I have to follow up with her ped. I have just about figured out that her reflux must be back. I had forgotten all about it since she hasn't had any problems in a long time but Jeff (who also has reflux) said that sometimes it makes you feel as if you can't breathe. She's fine though, for the most part.
This past weekend, we had dance competition at the Alabama Theatre. It was a LONG day! But the girls seemed to have fun dancing on that famous stage! We always enjoy going to the Alabama, no matter what the reason and we had dinner at a Mexican place on Southside. The girls took gold on both their dances.
Last Monday, I started my annual Spring cleaning by rearranging all the furniture in the living room, bedroom and girls' bedroom. I was so sore the next day!
This Friday wraps up the last day of American Girl class. I am so excited for this co-op to be over. I've really enjoyed teaching this subject matter and the girls are great but I have not enjoyed this co-op for various reasons. I guess it's God's way of helping me cut ties with something I have to give up anyway.
At work, we are studying caterpillars and butterflies and my chrysallides have arrived! There are roughly 30 or so and we have a pavillion to transfer them to. I am so excited about all the fun things I get to do with the kids.
My little dance class is coming right along. They pretty much have Broadway Baby down. They LOVE to tap! And we're about done learning I Won't Grow Up, too. They are going to be so precious and I am so proud of them!
Guess that's about it! For now anyway...
I'll share more pictures very soon!
