Yesterday, today and a shameless brag

Yesterday was Rebeckah's second volleyball game. They won!! The first match was close 26-24, but the second match was not even close, 25-5! After the game the girls went out to watch the boys play flag football. They wanted to cheer for them and tried to come up with some cheers, but no one knew any. Rebeckah ran to get Hannah and Hannah taught them some cheers. She had a great time teaching the older girls.

This morning/afternoon Chris, Sean and I went and had lunch with Matthew and Hannah at school. I only thought our house was loud and chaotic at meal time. WOW! It was a mad house in there. Sean had a great time eating with Matthew (who goes to lunch 25 minutes before Hannah), but by the time it was Hannah's lunch time, he was getting a bit antsy and had eaten most of his lunch. I thought it was fun to finally get to put faces to names.

After school Hannah had an eye appointment. She has been complaining about having trouble seeing the board at school. It turns out she is nearsighted and needs glasses. She picked out a really cute pair of glasses and they should be ready next week. Of course I will post pictures of her wearing her new glasses.

After Hannah's eye appointment we took the kids to the Y for a program they have where, one Friday a month members can drop off their kids from 4:00-8:00 and enjoy an evening out. We were late due to Hannah's eye appointment, so we didn't drop them off until 5:30. Chris and I didn't do anything too exciting, but we enjoyed our (quiet) time together. We went and had Chinese food and ate nice and slow and were able to have a nice (uninterrupted) conversation.

Now, my shameless brag!! The younger two brought home a progress report with their grades in all of their classes and the older two brought home a progress report for social studies. Here are their grades so far:
Hannah: Language Arts 93, Math 95, Social Studies 98 and Science 98
Matthew: Language Arts 96, Math 100, Social Studies 95 and Science 95
Austin: Social Studies 95.25
Rebeckah: Social Studies 99.5

I promise I won't post their grades every time they come home with a progress report/report card! I just had to share how well they are doing. I am so glad they were able to adjust to school and be able to keep up with their classes. Especially Austin and Hannah since we put them in a grade ahead.
