I go back and forth on whether or not I love the time between winter break and spring break or if I really don't like it. January to March, traditionally is everyday work/school mode for us. We seem to get on track with sleep and homework and reading and brushing teeth and housework and well...you know all those everyday things that don't really seem to be on the top of every one's list the other 9 months of the year!!!
Wil is working on his very first "book report" of his school career. He received the assignment on Monday and last night we finished reading the entire chapter book. He is motivated! Yes, guitar hero is still his passion (woke up at 6:00 to play it this morning), but he is taking more responsibility for his homework. Not to mention keeping up with his chores of emptying the dishwasher and emptying the upstairs trash!
Kate had a rough morning. She is fighting a cold with lots of sinus drainage. Her tummy was not doing so well until we got a bit of a biscuits in her. She is working on her science fair project at home. This year she had to come up with an invention. She is in the middle of creating a holder for the iphone, so she can play the "bubble wrap" game using both hands. She named it the iholder! She hope to have it designed by Friday.
Kristen is in the mist of a new semester. Her core classes do not change at midterm but her electives do. She is having problems with one of her new teachers. I am going to give it a week before I email the teacher, to see if Kristen can work it out on her own. Also FRENCHY has taken over our life! The first performance is NEXT Wednesday at the middle school theatre. It only seats about 50 people so we don't even know if we will get in to see it, but then her big performance is at the high school on Jan 23. We have spent the past few days getting her costume pulled together. Still in need of a pink jacket! But we have the school outfit together (red poodle skirt), the bedroom scene (pj's), the beauty school drop out scene, the dance, the diner (need pink jacket), and the ending (white shirt and jean capri). We need to have it all finalized by the weekend as dress rehearsal is next Monday! She is very proud of herself for knowing her lines, she was telling me how several people do not know their lines or if they do they don't know their marks or cues! We practice every night in the front room and she not only does the lines, but walks through each scene as we practice! Of course she has all the songs and choreography down pat! I am excited to see her with her peers!!
Sonny is still trying to escape the kitchen on a daily basis. He is getting big and has not had one accident in the kitchen since he has been "trapped."
Like I said, everyone is in school/work mode! Normal rhythm of our life, piano, soccer, basketball, violin, school. Now we need some SNOW!!
