Yeah, yeah, it has been awhile. Add a crippled computer, some hectic weeks and some nasty colds, that'll add up to some lengthy delays in getting some posts. The last few weeks have certainly been busy. Both of the kids have been gearing up for the end of the school year. Sometimes that means lots and lots of projects to complete. Coupled around field trips and such, it has been eventful.
Cody got the great chance to go to DisneyWorld for his band class. He got the chance to perform at a band workshop at Disney Music Studios. He spent a couple of hours at the studio where they got to play some of their songs for the instructors but then they learned to play some of the Beauty and the Beast musical score. Then he got to spend the day in the park for the afternoon. Evidently Thundermountain was a hit. That was a long day however, at the school at 4:30am and back at 11:00pm Yikes. Added to that was a field trip the next day for school. By the weekend, he was a worn out boy. He worked on two big projects that took over two full weekends but turned out good grades for each of them And he questions why his mom and dad have to hound him on his work all the time. His choice of course would be to half @$$ the work. :)
Amberlyn has been finishing up on her school activities, taking some of the Standford 10 standardization tests. As we figured, she's not having any issues with school. Yippee, one less battle!! She's one of the few kids that actually enjoys school. Her reading skills were where we were happiest. She's reading about a 4th grade level right now. She's finishing up work and programs at school for the end of the year.
Other than that, we've been very busy at work and trying to get things aligned for summer vacation and a trip back up to Ohio to visit everyone in a couple of weeks....wow, is it that soon? The kids are looking forward to the trip! Be a long drive but hopefully uneventful.
Onward and upward.
