So lately I haven't taken a lot of pictures, but I keep catching the kids saying the funniest stuff. The other day we were heading home and zek says "Mom, when I go to college can I take the Wii?" My first thought was where did this come from and then I just said college is a while away. In the middle of my thinking he says "Mom, Mom, I promise I will take care of it I am really good at playing it, so can I take it with me?" I just started laughing. What 6 year old do you know that is worried where the wii will be when he goes to college. The next story is even better. A couple of weeks ago my mom bought Zek a treat (let me tell you it was a king size symphony and the stipulation was that he only eat half and save the other half for another day) so as he and my mom get in the car (this was after school, so I wasn't there) and Zek proceeds to eat the candy bar, my mom gets a phone call and when she is done she asks Zek where the other half is and he just says, "I ate it." My mom then explains to him that he shouldn't have done that and that there would be no snack before dinner, he didn't care and didn't even feel bad about eating the whole thing-I don't know if he didn't listen or if he just ignored her but the funny part is yesterday on the way home my mom had to stop at the grocery store and Zek got a candybar and told my mom he'd broken it in half. Now my mom thought he was going to save half, because of what had happened last time. So when grandma asked for a bite he said "its gone." She said, "what do you mean its gone I thought you broke it in half." He said, "I did, and I ate it." He thought that by breaking it in half and just eating half at a time he was making a good choice, because he didn't eat it all at once. LOL! the jokes on grandma.
All stories aside, we are doing well. School has kept me really busy, for some reason after 8 years of no school, it seems very difficult to get back in the swing of things. I am taking English, which I thought would be papers-nope its all grammar. YUCK! I also have health and wellness and then American Governement which seems like a waste of my time, I'm sure its not and their is something great about the class, but I have yet to figure that out. If anyone knows please let me know.
The kids just keep growing. Mya has had a fever the last couple of days, but other than that feels fine. Zek moved up 5 reading levels and went from "The sea otter lives in the ocean." to "Volcanos produce lava when they erupt." I wish I could scan in and show you the difference in the homework, its tremendous. He actually has to try now :) Chaysee just keeps getting bigger. It seems like she only gets to wear an outfit twice and the third time I go to put it on its like she grew out of it. She loves eating regular food (if you call ceral and baby food regular) and will only drink about 3-4 4oz bottles a day. Now if we could just get her to sit???
