Wow. It's been kind of quiet...

Wow. I can't believe what a quiet few weeks we've had. We have finally settled into the school routine and extra curricular activites, and things are good. Nice and Good. I know, knock on wood! I don't want to curse that! :-) Taylor and Danny are both absolutely loving school and are learning SO much! Taylor came home the other day singing songs in spanish that she'd learned in Kindergarten! WoW! I am seeing some neat changes in both of them, they are maturing and adapting well to not being with eachother constantly (they are seriously best friends) and they're both so hungry for knowledge all of the time. And, as an added bonus for me, they are sleeping better and longer! (They are so worn out by the time we get home!) I never thought I'd see the day that my kids tell me that they were ready for bed at 7:20 p.m. and asleep BEFORE 8 p.m!

Labor (or Lack thereof) Day

We absolutely have had the nicest weekend in a VERY long time! Chris got off work Friday night and doesn't have to go back to work until Tuesday night....hence the nice weekend! Saturday night we took the kids and my niece to a Bees baseball game that the kids really enjoyed, topped off by a cool fireworks display afterwords. Sunday morning no one felt all that great, so we slept in, layed around and then later that evening went to my Dad's house and watched movies. Then again today, we slept in and then had a very nice picnic in the park with family. It was a very beautiful day with a nice breeze and we played in the river, played football and just kicked back for hours. It was soooooo nice! I want to do it again! Thanks family for such a nice weekend! Love you!

Extra Curricular Activities...Sanders Style

We finally got little Miss Taylor signed up for some cheerleading and dance classes that started last week. Her first cheerleading class brought us to the realization that when Taylor chose cheerleading, she really meant gymnastics. She was quite bored and uninterested, but stuck it out and has decided to finish out the month. Then came her dance class. She absolutely loved it! Her teacher is a girl I went to high school with and her daughter also happens to be in Taylor's kindergarten class. What a small world! Taylor has always loved to dance and enjoyed being able to learn the correct ways of doing ballet moves from someone other than me! Next month she has convinced me to let her try gymnastics and I think that she will enjoy all the tumbling and energy requiring activities! What a cute girl! Next months edition of Extra Curricular Activites, Sanders Style: Danny's Itty Bitty Football!
