Catching Up With More Pictures
| Once again I am way behind on updating here. We have been busy with the kids getting into their school year plus all of their extra activities. Last week all five ended up with the flu so we had a crazy week. They are all over being contagious but still have the lingering cough and stuffy noses. As our doctor pointed out, at least now I don't have to decide whether to get them the H1N1 vaccine since they have had it (and that was a decision I was struggling with!). |
The weather has been great so we have had lots of time to go play tennis or spend time at the playground.  The boys have been working on a Dinosaur Unit (they love dinosaurs). They got to be archaeologists and excavate a pretend dinosaur . It took a lot longer than we thought it would but they finally rescued the dinosaur (and gained a new appreciation for the work archaeologists do!).     Lys at her horseback riding lesson:  Drew finally got his first driving lesson. I've been putting it off since he got his permit (I am pretty good at finding excuses). So, I finally decided it was time to get him out there. We started in a parking lot at a nearby school, then he drove about half way home through the less busy area of the neighborhood. He did really well (after a scary start which included careening toward a cement pole....me telling him to brake and him accidentally hitting the accelerator instead). Long story short....we survived...as did the car.....and he was pretty proud of himself.  So that is about it from Endterland. Tomorrow night we have tickets to the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus. We haven't been to the circus for years (the kids were never overly fond of them), but I was offered tickets for free as part of my job so it seemed like a good time to give the circus another try! |
