A week in Review

Charlie and I had a great weekend home alone. Friday night Charlie and Jayce played outside until dark. Jay took them for a long ride on the scooters. They had a great time. I let Charlie stay up as late as me by 11:30 he was begging me to go to bed. Since Fred was gone he slept with me. Philly was a very good girl this weekend.

Saturday Charlie and Jayce went to Frankie's Fun Park to celebrate Jayce's 11th birthday. They had a ball. Happy Birthday, Jayce! I had a GLORIOUS day on Saturday! I caught up on my blogs, played on the Internet, and just enjoyed the time alone. Saturday night Charlie got to play with lots of his friends and Deborah and I had a girls night out. We enjoyed driving the Corvette around town. We went to church, dinner, and a movie. It was a good time.

Fred and Carrie Beth got home from camp about 12 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.

Back to homework this week. We survived. Mrs. McCracken had her baby last Friday and Mrs. Jones took over in Charlie's class. Overall, they had a great week. I am so glad that they were able to find someone that is so nice and QUALIFIED!! I certified teacher to finish the last 4 weeks of school! How great is that?

Carrie Beth had a great week. She wore her PJ's to school on Wednesday because she thought it was Wacky Tacky Day (it was not.) Then she cried and refused to change into her regular clothes. After a quick conversation with Mrs. McDonald, she changed and all was well. Until later in the day she decided to turn in all her seat work (without doing it) and moved on to the fast finisher work. So, on Thursday night she got to complete all of her seat work from Wednesday. She cracks me up!

Charlie is working on learning the United States of America. He is getting really good at it! We have been working on it together and he has been playing games on shepperdsoftware.com. Charlie worked with Dr. Lucy on Monday and Tuesday. I really think that she helps him focus!

Wednesday night we participated in a tennis clinic with Tim Wilkerson and Rex Miller. It was fun to play. I think we are going to start participating in the tennis activities. I would like to get into the game again. The kids really enjoyed the lesson with Mark Trail. People come from all over NC for their children to take lessons and work with Mark Trail. We are right across the street.......
