Tuesday 10

Part of this week's Tuesday 10 was intended to be last week's Thankful Thursday. I was so sleepy that I didn't hit publish.

Last Tuesday I was just distraught over what was going on with Blaine's (my easiest going kid) teacher. It was a battle with her to help open lunch items, yes completely silly, right? Yes but it wasn't getting done so he wasn't eating/drinking. Wednesday I went in and spoke to her, a tad more forceful than the 2 times prior, and things went great, much better than I expected and since then it's been smooth sailing.
I was most thankful for a great week following Monday and Tuesday.

1. Britton earned his first BRAG on Wednesday! I asked him what he did to receive it and he said he was quiet and listened. No surprise there! The teacher said he talks when spoken to but never out of turn, quite the opposite of Blaine!

 

 2. That same day Blaine earned his first BRAG!! He wasn't sure what he did to receive it, which is so like him!

3. Also on Wednesday, Blaine rode the shuttle bus from his school to Brandon's. I was a nervous wreck. and that is putting it mildly. I spoke with his teacher that morning, his school secretary, Brandon's school secretary and the bus barn admin assistant. Does that tell you how nervous I was?? Brandon was kinda nervous too because he knows how Blaine is not always focused so we were standing right in front of the bus doors when he stepped off.

4. Have I mentioned that Gracelyn and I are having great girl gabbing and fun while the boys are away??

and this week's lesson includes acting like a lady.

5. Brandon had to make salt dough for awesome landform maps this week! He helped.

It was fun making the dough with him, hearing about the cafeteria's food and what he does and doesn't like. Oh and the cinnamon rolls that were palm sized have decreased by half this year! Blasphemy!

6. My mom and I went with some family to visit and celebrate baby Ellis' arrival from China. My cousin and her husband adopted this sweet baby and boy is she a sweetheart! She loves to fall backwards, with no warning, and hang upside down. She plays peekaboo and loves to be passed from person to person.

big smiles at her shower before we left.

my cousin sent me this today, a day of bloodwork to see what shots she has had.

7. Gracelyn was pretty much devastated about not going with me. She cried for "Mimi, Ellis, Mommy" over and over and over Friday morning. It was sweet but sad. Before I left and I knew she got too upset I asked if she wanted to make a video for baby Ellis.


8. This girl loves her Sperrys. So much so, that she only wants to wear dresses with black in them.

That's all I have tonight! Have a great week!!
