Here is what we have been up to

We are four weeks into the school year and we are all getting used to our routines.  We are back to homework, sports and other fun activities.  So here is what we have been up to:

  • Tee has adjusted to Kindergarten very well.  He has made many friends.  I was able to go in and help at lunch the first couple of weeks.  You know Kindergartners need help opening this and that.  One day Tee was sitting next to a girl.  They were talking to each other nonstop.  I asked him what her name was and he wasn't sharing.  So I asked her.  It seems as though he sits next to her many days.    One night at dinner, I asked him if he liked this girl you know as a friend or if he liked liked this girl.  Yep, answer was he liked liked her!  Oh boy.
  • E and Jay have both adjusted to the 5th grade.  Yes, I can't believe they are in 5th grade.  They both seems to be doing well.  In past years, I have complained that E has not been placed in the correct math class.  He was not being challenged at all.  I just found out recently that he will be working on 6th grade math like Jay.  The best part is that he will not have to change his math class and will not be in class with his brother. 
  • We were able to take the boys to the Baltimore Grand Prix.  We were spectators from a building (yes inside) overlooking the course.  The boys really enjoyed watching the race.  So glad to be indoors.  The cars are so loud.
  • We were able to go to a Nationals Baseball game down in DC.  It was a very nice stadium.  We were being threatened with rain but luckily it just sprinkled.
  • The boys are all playing baseball.  In fact, we have three boys on three different teams.  We have E taking a break from the travel team.  That is a story for another day.  He plays on Saturdays.  Tee plays on Sunday mornings and Jay plays Sunday afternoon.  Yes, we have full weekends.
  • This past weekend, the husband and I were able to get out with some friends.  We went to a Maryland winery for a tasting.  We then sat at a table to talk and have some wine and snacks.  It was a fun time with fun friends.  We really needed that.
  • The boys will continue with scouts this year.  The will complete their Weeblos this year.  I don't believe the boys will continue after this year and I am ok with that.
  • We recently had our sun room tiled.  The carpet was really gross and we needed a change in that room.  It looks really nice.  I was able to clean it up, which was needed desperately.
The weather has been really nice.  Low humidity and in the high 70s.  In line for the weekend, you guessed it more baseball.
