100th Day
and when we went for teacher conferences Benji showed me that his art was out on the Wall of Fame! All of the kids are doing well in school!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALI
She’s 6 years old. She loves school and reading and writing. She’s usually a social butterfly. She’s independent and pushes herself to keep up with her big brothers. She’s my best helper with the younger kids. She hasn’t thrown a BIG fit since we started the marble jar last month. She still loves Mommy time!
End of Fall SOccer!
Benji’s team was undefeated. They have been together for a long time now and they are a lot of fun.
Benji is a good shielder and passer. He likes Defense.
Cali is pretty aggressive. They had a young team this year so it was a rough, lose every game season. But She and Mia have fun out there. Cali always volunteers for everything – take a break? play defender? Stay in? – doesn’t matter what coach asks – she’ll says she’ll do it. Go Lightning Crashers!
Look at how close Packer is to the goal! and I was proud of him for going to the middle to wait for the pass. They are learning. I got to go to Packer’s game without any kids on the last game so I got lots of good pictures of him:
Cute Cali
Cali loves to read. She just started the Baggy Book program at school and she hurries home each day to read it to me. She also enjoys saving her snack and bringing it home to show all of us. She is doing really well in kindergarten so far. She enjoys the singing and the social aspects. She does come home quite tired though! Cali is still a great help with the other kids – she often checks on Millie for me and gets her up from her afternoon naps.
These sisters are BEST friends. They play SOO WELL together and it makes me so HAPPY. They can play for hours. They don’t fight (too much). They work out their differences. I hope it lasts forever.
and I love this picture of Cali because she is a sporty little soccer player but she wanted her hair a certain way and insisted on wearing her sparkly shoes!
Kindergarten!
She has been SOO tired after school. Like almost in a daze. She seems a bit overwhelmed with it all. There are about 30 kids in the class! Isn’t that too many?
But she says she loves it and she is already soo close to reading. She brought home her first school library book yesterday and sounded out every word. The girl does not give up 🙂
