Shall We Dance?

Adam had his first soccer game last night. He's playing in the middle school league and there are some familiar faces on his team, one kid from a previous team, one kid from church, and one kid that used to go to our co-op (and may be back this year). There are amazing differences in these kids. I blame puberty. The little sixth graders stood at least a foot shorter than the older kids. There was one kid with a five o'clock shadow! And apparently, with height and whiskers come some amazing soccer skills. This is not rec league soccer! I'm not sure how Adam will do but I envision the 6th graders playing on the "JV" team that plays on Saturdays. That's fine with me! So, for his schedule... games on Monday; practice on Tuesday & Friday; JV games on Saturday. Tonight, Adam and Ryan both have to be at practice at 5:30 at two different fields in two different towns. Jeff doesn't normally get home until 5:30 but he's supposed to get here early today. I just can't wait to throw Evan's soccer season into this mess! LOL

Oh yeah, were' still doing school, too....

We were reading about dinosaurs in Mystery of History yesterday. We looked up the Loch Ness Monster on-line and were discussing the possibility that Nessie may be a plesiosaur. Both the older boys were really into that, especially Ryan. He used to be a huge dino freak. So we were gathered around the computer having some real discussions... and in comes Matthew.... with poop on his foot. He'd made it to the potty but spilled the poop as he was dumping the the potty chair bowl into the big toilet. You never see that in a classroom! ;)

Evan has finished his first A Beka reader and is halfway through the second one. He's going to be in 2nd grade by Christmas at this rate! But still a 1st grader for Math and a Kindergartner for writing. LOL

Adam wrote a two page newspaper yesterday, complete with puzzles! I remember making search-a-word puzzles when I was little so I loved the puzzle! He seriously needs an editor to check his spelling!

  • In the News (spelling and punctuation is his):
    - only Nine days till the beach.

Argh, your soccer schedules freak me out. What am I going to do when I have four kids in sports?? What was I thinking?? Maybe I'll just make everyone sit on the couch watching tv and playing video games all day from now on so that they won't have the energy or desire for organized sports, lol.

LOL about the poop foot. I sure hope you don't see that at public school!

If A's not playing rec league, what is he playing?

Completely unrelated, you have GOT to try the dark choc M&Ms.

In school the teacher would have called YOU in to clean the poop.
Thankfully you HS so you can be there for your son when he needs you. ((hugs))
