We are getting excited for summer time! Each time we start acting like it is summer, it gets chilly in these here hills. We are still loving our new home, and the kids love their new school. Both made new friends so quickly and haven't shown an ounce of stress from the transition.
Our days are back to being incredibly structured which I love and under which the kids flourish. I have been remiss in posting to the blog because I catch myself posting the pics to my Facebook page instead. Although, I realized the other day that the kids won't benefit from that like they will from my blog. Someday, I'll be putting it in book form or at the very least on a disk or two or four!
Zack starts school at 8:00AM and is there by 7:30AM each morning. He loves that it is just blocks away. We'd walk if it weren't mostly uphill, and I'm usually not out of my pjs by then! Sophia doesn't start school until 11:30 which means she gets to sleep in until 9:00AM. She LOVES her sleep! The stinky part is that Zack gets out of school at 2:00PM, and Sophia is out at 2:55PM. It wouldn't be so bad except the school has a policy that all parents must park, get out of their car, and go retrieve their kids. There is no nice little loop to pull through and grab them, and nor is there a parking lot! I guess I shouldn't complain because it is a Blue Ribbon school with several other awards. They must be doing a lot right.
After school, the kiddos do their homework, chores, and play, play, play. We have a strict no video games during the week rule, and I try to limit television to 30 minutes to an hour. That is still too much in my opinion. I'd much rather see them dressing up, playing cars, reading, or coloring. You know using their imaginations!
