Larry's 1st Grade Production of Caps For Sale

Today was Larry's first grade production of the book Caps For Sale.  It was very entertaining and very brief.  It kept Ethan's & Ruby's attention the whole time.  Yay!  That is my kind of school play.
This is a very busy time for me.  I had a parent teacher conference with Larry's teacher Mrs. Howie.  All good things.  He is at mid 2nd grade reading level and reads chapter books well.  His writing is at 2nd grade level and his math is at and above level depending on what you are looking at.  His teacher tells me he will have no problems next year.  I am THRILLED.  Now I know his strengths and I will be testing him on them this summer.
Next week is Xander's Kindergarten graduation.  I cannot believe it has already come to that. Last I heard, he is right on track and above level in some areas as well.  Savannah had a conference last week and just finished her EOG.  She has made great progress this year.  I just wish I could keep her working all summer so she does not lose anything she has already learned.  I will have to find something to motivate her.  Summer school starts in just 2 weeks.  Not much of a break there.  The last day of school is next thursday.  When can Ethan start school?  
Larry Denzil and Benny had a video chat last night.  It was really neat.  We got to tour his home and see little Ava.  She is very beautiful.  Benny helped Larry Denzil with the computer.  He is starting to like it more and more each day.  He and the computer had a falling out sunday and Larry was seriously ready to send it back.  You Robert's have absolutely no patience with things. He did not want to take the time to learn.  Instead he just ranted and raved.  Fun for me and the kids.
Larry Denzil has really bad poison ivy on his hands that seems to be spreading up his arms.  It is a week old now.  I think it is getting better.  He got this when he went to cut some wood in hopes of free firewood.  Needless to say, he left the wood.
Ruby has entered her terrible twos.  She is in a crying fit right now because I swapped her Nubby supposedly no spill sipper cups that leaked all over the place for the playtex brand that I knew did not leak.  Now she is angry because she has to work harder for her milk.  She is slowly adjusting.  Can you see the personality similarities in father and daughter?
I couldn't add the entire play, so I added the small bit that showed my Larry.  He was a little monkey.
 We hope everyone is healthy and happy.

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
