Today was the holiday party with the Boy`s scout group. It was fun for the kids. One of the Girl`s spark friends has a brother in Beavers, so the two girls got to play together. They actually did stay by themselves and ate and played. It was really cute. Dinner was pizza and chili. The Baby did well considering he was up so late. He wasn`t too cranky!
By the way, there was an article in the local paper about a boy in the Boy's Cub group. It is a great article about a brave and positive boy. Check it out if you have a chance!

Oh, ya, and again no picture today....I feel horrible! I did so well all year, and then this last month I have missed more than I have taken!! MUST DO BETTER!
December 4, 2012 - Homework Tuesday
So the Boy has a project this week. He needs to build a diorama of a urban or rural community and then make a brochure on his chosen community. It is always difficult keeping him interested in these types of projects. He never wants to put any effort into the written brochure and he doesn`t get the relationship between the space the teacher has placed on the document with the amount of information he needs to write. I was trying to have him work on this project a little each night. I am trying to avoid a late night on Sunday working on the finishing touches. So far he has built some pieces for the diorama out of lego and chosen the box to put everything in.
The Girl is doing so much better on her spelling lists. I don`t know if it is her improved reading, or her ability to memorize the words. What ever it is is working! I`m not complaining! If only she could finish the Dolche words that she has had since September.
December 3, 2012 - Sleep through the night already!
So I am exhausted. The Husband is exhausted. The Baby is exhausted. The cause of the exhaustion is the Baby! He is still not sleeping through the night. I am not sure if it is the cough, which is still lingering from his bronchiolitis, or his teeth (he has been teething and drooling since two months old!), or he just misses us (we don't co-sleep anymore). What ever the reason, I am so tired. We have to get up a couple times a night and feed him (I know this is a bad habit, but it is the only way to get him back down). Normally he goes back down easily for a couple more hours. But feeding at 11:30pm (about 10 minutes after I fall asleep!) and 3am, and then the alarm clock goes off at 6am, is getting to me. It wouldn't be so horrible if I didn't have to go to work. If I was just staying home, I could manage it, and I did when I was home, but now I am at work, and I need to be alert when I am driving, and I need to not be nodding off at my computer in the afternoon!Oh yeah, I forgot the photo again!! Blame it on the sleepiness!
