Well, now it's been two months since I have posted, shame on me. For so long nothing was happening, & then we just had tons of stuff. The end of the school year is so busy, lots of field trips, field day, programs...
Henry graduated from preschool, possibly for the first time. He had a screening for kindergarten & he's borderline for being ready, he is one of the youngest in his group. We had this same issue with Charlie & had to learn the hard way by starting him in school & then pulling him out. Lone Jack has such an awesome program, with the screening & the kindergarten prepardeness he's in for summer school right now. These things may not completely get him ready for kindergarten this year, but it may help to ease Stacey & I into waiting another year. He's so darn smart, he's got all the stuff he needs to know, he's just too busy to hold still yet for a classroom. We'll see...
There isn't too much worry about packing this, or 'Oh, I forgot that', I can just jaunt down the street to get something. I love living near family like this, I hope they don't mind it too much!
So on Sunday, everybody is looking lovely & we trotted down the street, looking forward to a yummy Easter dinner. Ham with my father-in-law's honey-wine sauce, green bean casserole, my husband's decadent cheesy potatoes! Mmm-mmm!!! It was as the chilly rain was beginning, just before our dinner, that the kids hunted for their Easter eggs. Everyone has thier own color of egg to seek, so that nobody is left out. But everyone was rushing about anyway, trying to hurry to get out of the weather. It was within minutes of our arriving to the family dinner in carefully chosen outfits & smartly styled hair, Easter eggs gathered, & returning inside cold, soggy and laughing. The kids only ate sweets, Man, they don't know WHAT they're missing. As I was telling myself the second helping of cheesy potatoes I was eating were my desert, the key lime pie & strawberry shortcake were brought out. Well, what's a girl to do?! Afterall, Easter only comes once a year!
