Taylor is a very hard worker at school and very concerned about getting A's. She took a hard math test and was one of 2 kids in the class to get an A. She was very excited! (Although a little disappointed that she didn't get 100% after she thought her teacher gave her a wink and said only one student got 100%). Her special treat was 2 new Goosebumps books that she'd been wanting. She is obsessed with Goosebumps right now...can't get read enough of them! We also got to go celebrate after parent teacher conferences (we saw Kung Fu Panda and got special candy!) because both kids got raving reviews! With Taylor I was not surprised, but with Zacky I sometimes wonder :) (after some of his Seth and Alec issues). But his teacher actually said he was her favorite and that he's respectful, helpful (she has him 'take care of' new students) and very smart ("math whiz"). When I came home, I acted like I was disappointed to fake them out a little, and Zacky said "oh great, what did I do? :) I told them I was the proudest parent in the world :)
This weekend we got snow! (not ready for this weather! Feel like we missed all of the good fall warmth due to everyone being sick for so long!) After a lot of testing, we realized the jumps were not going to fit in the basement so we now have a skate park in the garage! The kids played on it all day! I canceled Zacky's soccer game in Roy because of the cold weather, so instead of a 4 hour trip, we hung out at home and played with our cousins all day :)
