Random thoughts

I don't have any one topic to write about, so I am just going to list thoughts as they come to mind.

~~Sean is starting to talk more and more lately in complete sentences. His speech is becoming clearer too. For example he used to call Matthew "Mabu" and now he calls him "Maffew". He used to say "Bob-Bob" for Sponge Bob, but now he says "Bung Bob".


~~Report cards came out this past week. All of the kids, but one got all A's. The one that didn't get all A's got all A's and one B. Hannah and Matthew both got the R.O.A.R. award. That is the award that goes to the student that works the hardest, is helpful, finishes assignments and has a great attitude. There is only one boy and one girl in each class that gets that award.


~~Hannah's cheerleading squad is NOT going to competition after all. I am really bummed about that since they all worked so hard and I thought they really stood a chance at placing. The reason they aren't going is because of Pop Warner's ridiculous rules. Their routine is only 2 minutes long and the competition is from 1:00 until 6:00. Pop Warner is requiring the girls to be there at 7:00 in the morning and the parents aren't allowed to go until 1:00. The girls have to sit with their coach and team mom the entire time. They are only given 10 minutes of warm-up time. I see absolutely no reason for the girls to be there for 11 hours when the competition is only 5 hours long! I realize they need to check in and all, but SIX hours to do that?!? There were only 17 teams competing, but several pulled out of the competition when they heard they will have to be there that long. We will not be doing anything related to Pop Warner next year!


Here are a couple of pictures from this morning of Hannah and her squad at their last football game.

~~Things are starting to wind down a bit around here. Monday is Rebeckah's last volleyball game. Cheerleading is over for the most part. We still have an end of season party and their coach is working on getting them to cheer with the high school cheerleaders during a high school football game. Baseball has 3 games left; two of which are tomorrow. So soon we will be down to just scouts.
