Life Has Been Busy!

It has been almost two weeks since we updated the blog! Life has been busy as usual. We have been busy with finishing up our fourth quarter of school before June, dentist appointments, painting rooms and just crazy daily life! We are getting close to finishing school, which is always as exciting for the teacher as it is for the kids! Moira will most likely have to do some geometry in June, and Eileen some history, but other than that we should be done with everything by the end of May. I will try to post some of the kids' lovely creations they have done this school year in the next month.

Here are some pictures the kids took lately...


Aidan has been trying to fly. I think he has come pretty far in his achievements, don't you? He also had a good dental check-up yesterday (no cavities!). However, when I asked him on the ride home how it went with the dentist, he said, "They said I need to do better". Hmmmm, perhaps he fessed up to not always brushing twice a day. At least he's honest. Now, just don't knock those teeth out while trying to fly!



Little Happy has been developing some spunk (I won't post the picture of her standing on the dining room table). She is learning so many new things lately...new words, new signs, new abilities to climb onto everything, and did I mention spunk? Yes, she is letting us know what she likes and dislikes, which is all good. Typical two year old behavior. But I have to say, she is so sweet and smiley most of the time...a complete joy! Here she is sporting her new piggy tails :)

And here she is eating her new favorite food...pretzels. Anyone know the sign for pretzel? She had used her cracker sign (signing cracker about 200 times a day...she's got that one down!), but I know there must be a sign for pretzel!


Once a year, Mike goes on retreat. This year, while he was away for the weekend, we decided to paint the family room. Eileen, Moira and I took turns painting and got it done in two days. Afterwards, Molly Grace said, "I guess you don't want us to color on the walls anymore??" Ah, you got that right, five year old! And you're just now figuring this out? LOL. Oh dear. I have so much job security being a mom of soon-to-be eight! There's always room for improvement!
