Tara has asked to be outside after dinner each night and has collected most of the leaves under the two front trees. The weather has been perfect lately. We've been able to open up windows and not had the ac or the heat on for weeks. It is very refreshing. Tara is loving her girl scout troop. She painted a pumpkin last week for display at boo at the zoo. She's been struggling with the amount of homework that is required each night. It's been rough for everyone.
Last week we had "reading rocks" where UT football players, the local weather guy, the Smokies owner and mascot all came to read their favorite books. It was alot of fun. We also did the "walk to school"...a mile from the YMCA. It was really raining that morning, but the kids got button flashers and Tara won a bicycle helmet..and we all got breakfast and could be excused late to school.
Emily has made alot of friends in her class and is happy each day. She's always finding things on her own that need to be done.
Jacob is finally getting used to the kindergarten hours, and is happy with his routine. He's the first one up in the morning, but it takes him the least amount of time to get ready.
Gene is headed to Denver on Friday. He'll be gone for half of our fall break, but when he gets back we have some fun things planned. We could all use a break from school.
