So what is happening here?
- I got an email from the Reception lady that our 50% payment is due because our wedding is 6 MONTHS FROM SATURDAY.
- Jackson started sounding out words during our story time on Monday night for the first time.
- We started reading The Boxcar Children last night as our first ever real "chapter book" we are reading together. When chapter 3 ended with a cliff-hanger, he protested when I closed the book. I LOVED that!!!
- Jackson, Jared and Joe are all between seasons game wise. But the oldest and youngest have begun basketball practice, and games for both start NEXT weekend.
- Chris has been working out of town most of the time.
- Work has been busy, but good. I think.
- Jackson won the "Most Improved" award for his football team - the only award that is given for each team in his JFL program. He still really doesn't want to play next year, but feels better about this season now.
- I am so sad we did not get to go to Disney again this year, but am very glad we got to go last year.
- Jackson is going to be an "American Warrior from the time around when Abraham Lincoln died" for Halloween, a costume concept he developed and helped me make. His concept is a boy in knight-like silver armor with a sword and shield. We pieced the costume together with random items we had around the house, a fire helmet, the sword (around which the costume was developed), and a can of silver spray paint. When we got him all dressed for the school party Sunday night, he borrowed a compact mirror, looked at himself, and gleefully proclaimed, "I look AWESOME!!!"
