Tuesday Caden and I went up to the school and had lunch with the girls. Here is Caden walking to the school
My beautiful Caylea at lunch. I thought this was pretty cool. In the cafeteria while waiting in line there is a big sink with a water pipe running over it. It has streams of water coming out and of course soap and paper towels are hanging right there. So all the kids wash their hands while in line. I love this! Someone had an awesome idea!
Caylea in line heading back to class.
Caylea's lunch is from 11:00-11:20 and Carolina's is from 11:45 to 12:05. So Caden and I hung out in the commons area until it was time to see Carolina.
Carolina and I at her lunch.
On Wednesday's I have volunteered to be on the stapling and collating team (It had a cute name but I do not remember it) to help the school. Here is Caden playing with the ipad while I work. I sorted for a good two hours. Caden wad definitely ready to go. Next week I will plan better. I plan to have lunch with the girls on Wednesday's since I am already up there. (maybe not Carolina for a few weeks until she is doing better with the separation)
I snuck a peek at Carolina. I was careful for her not to see me!
While Caden and I were waiting on Carolina to have lunch he noticed a display case in the hall way with this in it. How cool is that! Also Caylea's teacher sent home the whole paper. I was so excited to get it. Caylea thought it was really cool also! We do not get the Bossier paper.
Tuesday night Carolina had homework for the first time she was so very excited. She asked me to take a picture and a video. Here is the picture.
Wednesday afternoon there was a storm. It was nice except for we lost electricity. I was worried because I couldn't open our garage door. I know that you can pull the emergency handle I have just never done that. It worked out we ended up riding up there with our neighbor to get her granddaughter and the girls. They actually let the kids out early. I am not sure why I thought maybe they had no power like us. However Caylea and Carolina said the power only went out for a little while.
Here is a picture of Caden playing in the rain.
Wednesday night my Pastor asked me to start Discovery. The lady that usually does the Wednesday night program has been out of town all summer and won't be back for another month. Usually it is just my kids at church on Wednesday night. We have been having some visitors with two younger children and a few others were there last night. I was so nervous about starting the program having no idea how to work it. Thankfully Brenda had left the teachers book and the kids just picked up where they left off in their workbooks. It was actually quite fun. . .with little organization though.
Here is a picture that Carolina drew at church Wednesday night. It is Carolina and her teacher Mrs. Green.
The girls have wanted twinkle toes for a long time however I have always wanted them to have tennis shoes. Since they have to wear uniforms to school I told them they could pick whatever shoes they wanted. I think it's good for them to express themselves in some way.
These are the one's Caylea chose.
Here are Carolina's
Caylea was so excited this afternoon when she got into the van. She told me that they said her name over the intercom and she had to go to the office and get a goodie bag. I asked her what it was for she said it was because she got her test out without talking. I am not sure if that was really what it was for but whatever it was for I am so proud of how amazing she is doing!
Carolina has been in school for a week and a half. She is still having rough time. The great thing is she loves school and she loves her teacher. She just doesn't want me to leave her. I walked her in earlier this week. Thursday she walked in with Caylea like a big girl. I had spoken with her teacher and she told her she could get a prize out of the treasure chest if she walked in with her sister. She did great got her prize but then today we were back as square one. She was okay until I opened the door for her to get out. She started saying her tummy hurt. I told her if it didn't get better to have Mrs. Green call me. She said no I just want to stay. So I asked the teacher helping out in the car line to help. She peeled Carolina off of me and the van. I felt like the worst mom ever for a while. Came home, sent a few e-mails one to her teacher and one to the counselor checking on her. Also to Caylea's teacher making sure Caylea was doing okay after all of the commotion with her sister. Caylea did great however I had taken her binder out of her bag when I put her scholastic book club order in there and forgotten to put it back in her backpack. Every child has a binder and the binder comes home everyday it has a pouch for different things including money and pockets for notes to teachers, homework, leave at home papers exc. . . So I had Caylea's homework with me ~ Caden and I jumped back into the van to run it up there. When we got to the office to sign in they were fixing to do a fire drill. Caden and I sprinted to the 3rd grade hall to get the binder to Caylea and then out the door to the van. I am so glad we got out before kids started pouring out of the building. I think we would of been stuck there until they went back in.
The kids have been asking to go swimming all week. We weren't able to fit it in. So after school today we came home and got our suit's on and ran to the pool. I was a great time relaxing and chatting with each of my children. When we got out of the pool to dry off Caylea taught Carolina how to play rock, paper scissors. It was so very cute. Caden was trying to play it also! :)
Caden has been so funny lately. He is just doing so great and being so well behaved at home with me. I just totally love it! Yesterday he wanted to play with the play doe so I got it out for him. He played for over an hour. I helped him clean it up. Today I told him to be careful not to drop any on the floor because he is going to clean it up all by himself today. He had a great time playing again. He made me all kinds of yummy food. Including my new favorite veggie ~ Okra and tomatoes YUM! (He loves it also) When it came time to clean up it took him a long time however he did a great job. He later told me that he didn't want to play play doe again unless his sisters were here to help him clean up because it took too long. I thought that was so very funny!
This week Caden has been saying "I use to like that/do that when I was a little boy". I think this is the cutest thing I have ever heard! The first time I said Caden what are you now? He said I am an adult. Such a funny little boy!
One other cute thing from the mouth of my son. While we were swimming today. Caden was holding on to me and then letting go and going down trying to go to the bottom and just staying under. He said to me "Mom I am going to go down under the water just don't let me die" I just laughed at him and said Caden are you worried you can't get back up. He said "no I just don't want to get stuck under there." I said okay I will make sure you get back up.
