So things are going great in the new house. We are still working on making it a home! I have loved going shopping for things to decorate with. Sister in law came to town and we went shopping. (I think we did really good.) I have fallen in love with Marshalls, Ross and TJ Maxx all over again! Great places great prices and the hunt makes it even better! :)
The kids are starting to sleep in their own beds. We found out that they were sleeping in each other's rooms. Going from being right on top of each other for years I guess it would be hard to sleep in a room all by yourself. Silas bless his heart he has slept in his bed maybe 3 times. He was sleeping on his crib mattress in my bedroom floor until I decided I was tired of it being in my floor and wanted my bedroom (not a nursery). So he is sleeping on the chase in the corner if he comes into our room at night or if we decide he can just sleep in there. He calls it his bed.
School has been going great for the girls, MacKenzie bless her heart she is just having issues. First weekend of the school year she came home said that her teacher told her to write the whole Alabama History Glossary. Ummmm No it went more like this.
Mrs.Vance- Children do not forget to write your glossary words.
MacKenzie- Mrs. Vance I do not unerstand what you mean?
Mrs. Vance- MacKenzie go to the back of the Alabama History book and write all the words. Well that's all MacKenzie heard because she came home and told me she had to write the whole glossary. I about fell out, but she worked 6 hours on Friday 6 hours on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday she got to letter R before I was just highly hacked off. Finally Sunday night I send her to bed and said I will email your teacher. I did and I was as nice as I could be. Teacher calls me and says "OH MY GOODNESS YOU MUST THINK I AM A WITCH I said for her to write the first chapters glossary words not the whole glossary. I AM SO SO SORRY!" I said I am just glad you are not "THAT TEACHER" ha ha ha Well we thought it would teach Kenzie a lesson ummm Not so much she has forgotten to write things down since and even once forgot her work book. Thank Goodness for Hannah's Mom who copy and faxed it to me. SHE is a blessing whomever she is! :)
Bella is having a blast in Mrs. Kirkland class. She does not have many of her friends from 1st grade in there and she likes it that way I guess. Mrs. Kirkland is a wonderful person. I got to know her when Kenzie and her son Cole were in Kindergarten together. She just loves on Bella and gives her sweet hugs and kisses. Bella is that child she needs hugs, kisses and just acts of love! :) Bella has pulled more cards in 2nd grade than she as in her whole K-5 and 1st grade combined. ha ha She has pulled 2 cards for talking. That brings her total pulled card count for all of her school years to 3. :) I can't complain she has made wonderful grades so far and is in love with Mrs. Kirkland little guinea pig.
We have had a very sad week here in Scottsboro. We had a little boy pass away from the swine flu (Alabama Dept of Health Confirmed late last night). He was only 11 years old and it just breaks my heart. I remember watching him play soccer one year when Kenzie was playing. That child was an amazing little athlete. One of my friends children was really close to him and he is having such a hard time right now dealing with his friends death. I am an adult and I can not wrap my brain around the death of a child, so how is a child suppose to understand. My heart goes out to all of his friend and mostly to his family. I don't know and I hope I never do know how his parents feel. Lets please remember to keep the Garcia family in our prayers this week and make sure you hug those babies a little more today. :(
This week I have had the chance to spend a little extra time with my girls and kinda talk with them before they go to bed at night about their day and see what's on their minds. The main thing we have talked about all week was Alex and his untimely death. They wanted to know why. I told them we may never know why. I had the chance to talk with them about what the Bible says about life and death. That the Devil comes to steal kill and destroy that Christ comes that we may have life and have it more abundant. I told them that we are not promised tomorrow and that we need to live our lives every single minitue trying to please the father, because in an instant we could go home to be with Jesus. I love those talks they remind me of the talks I would have with my Momma when I was my girls age. She would be trying to take a relaxing bath but either my sister's or I would come in and sit down in the floor or put the seat down on the potty and just talk till her bathwater was cold! Ahhh I love those memories. JESUS YOU ARE GOOD and no matter what I will praise you!
Well this blog was HUGE I am going to work better and keeping things updated. I may even post a few pictures later today of the progress on the inside of my house! I hope everyone is having a blessed week and living every day for the one who created you! Blessings
