I suppose it is time to get back in the swing of things. School is over and so is our vacation. First things first, Archer did great! He pulled his grades all up!!! He ended the year with an A and the rest B's. That was a lot of work, but hopefully it sunk in. He and I went to the Alamo Drafthouse for dinner and Star Trek as a reward. I really loved the movie (2nd time I saw it) and spending an evening with my boy was even better. Truly hoping we don't have the same issues in the fall. The rest the kids all did really well in school also. Picasso struggles a bit with reading out loud, but his comprehension is in the advanced level so I'm not too worried. We have Angel's 504 plan started and ready for the fall. Phew! I will definitely feel better having it in place before she gets to junior high. Picasso turned 9 last week! Happy birthday bubba man!!! He is such a great kid. We went to a Colorado Rapids game with some of his friends for his birthday party. The kids just laughed and smiled through the whole thing. We probably drove the people around us a bit nuts, but it was a party! Picasso has cub scout camp this week and is really enjoying that.
Princess turns 7 tomorrow! I cannot believe that my baby is that old. Where has the time gone? I caved and she is getting a Build-a-Bear party with her friends. What was I thinking? Oh yeah, that Picasso just got a big party, even though we used Season Ticket Holder points for the party so it was essentially free, so it would only be fair to let her have the big party she has been begging for. Sigh. I am sure she will have a fantastic time with her friends and at the end of the day that is what matters.
Archer has been busy with pet sitting, 2 jobs already and 2 more next week. He loves animals and enjoys making money taking care of them. I enjoy him having spending money of his own. We are working on getting some private soccer sessions set up with a Colorado Rapids player. He is SO stoked!
Princess is just having a good time being along for the ride. She is definitely in pre-teen mode. Holy smokes Batman! Boys are so much easier in this regard! I am just waiting for that girl to growth spurt like crazy one of these days. Until then she is enjoying reading all the books on her kindle. So glad we were able to get her one as she truly loves it.
My sweet husband is working hard at his new job and I am just trying to keep up with the kids. All in all, we are doing great! I will have to tell you all about Disneyland, but not now. It is late and I am tired.
