Memories from last week

This past week was busy. 2 of the main things were that we met grandpa and grandma at La Casa, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants for supper. Grandpa was driving bus for a field trip in the evening and had enough time to bring his bus to the restaurant, eat with us, and let the kids
"tour" the bus. Jenna wasn't all that excited as she rode the bus for 3 years, but the other 2 have never ridden a bus so they were very excited.

Jenna had a volleyball away on Thursday night. It was kind of like a tournament, there were 3 teams. Her team has never won a match before and they won the first match! It was very exciting and they did so good, lots of 3 hits on their side instead of just banging it over. The second game was against a very large school with a very good team. They had played them earlier in the season and lost big time!! But Thurs. night they won the first game, lost the second and the third was close. They lost the match but were so psyched to stay with them. Jenna has a really great, consistent serve.

This weekend is just catching up at home. Last week I was so stressed all week because I was supposed to be observed, but my principal said he is going to have to hold off until Monday for me because he just didn't have time to get everyone in! UGH! So I have that hanging over me another weekend!

I have spent HOURS practicing flash cards with Mikayla this weekend, plusses and minuses. They do speed drills at school and she wants to get fast. Friday night we could only do about 10 in one minute and yesterday she got 30 in one min. so she is all excited. You know what I will be doing this afternoon. Yesterday we also went through all the fall/winter tubs of hand-me-down clothes for Mik and Haley. It took Mik about 45 mins. to try on all her clothes but Haley it took over an hour, she had so many! It was a work- out for both of them. Not one pair of about 10 pair of pants fit Mik so we will need to go shopping. She is shaped totally different than Jenna was at her age.

Need to get to church so I will have to close. I will try to keep up better this week.
