I really have fallen off the wagon of doing these each week. That is still always my goal, but I figure every now and then is better than none at all, right ;) We sure love all of you!!
At bed time Taylor usually makes up a bed time story for the kids. And the other night he was telling a story about Mr. Write and Mr. Eraser...and how they were not friends at first and then they became friends. They even joined together to become a pencil. Two different things come together. At the end Taylor asked the kids do you know what is written on every pencil (fishing for "no.2") and Ella shouts out, "Made in CHINA!"
Russell always say, "Hoooow 'Booout....Snowman!" because he wants to sing 'Once there was a Snowman'. He even came and sat next to me during choir practice on Sunday and started singing to himself 'Once there was a Snowman....".
He really does love to sing...and he doesn't care who hears. Especially to Frozen songs. Whenever they come on Pandora he belts it out. He has surprised me which parts he actually knows the words to.
Evalyn's two bottom teeth have broken through!!! Hurray. Seems like it took a long time this time around.
Evalyn loves to stick her tongue in and out really fast while making noises, she even curls it up onto the side at times. It is adorable!
The other night I was driving home from mutual with all the kids in the car. Evalyn was crying really loudly and then I hear Eden lean down next to her and start to sing, "Evalyn...don't cry...I am right here by your side..I am always here for you my sweetie girl". Wish I could have recorded that one!
Ellanor is excelling in her class. She is far above the norm on her reading level. She is such a smart cookie and we love her so!
Gordon last year had been struggling with spelling, he was trying very hard to get 100% but still would miss a few, even after getting them right in practice. This year he has been working very hard each night on his spelling and he has gotten A's on all his tests so far...and on most 100%. His hard work is paying off and that makes this Mama so happy!!
We also got grades back today for the first grading period and all the kids have straight A's. They take after Dad ;)
