Hat Day!

Logan's Field Trip to Sloss Furnace and Vulcan

The Friday Five

1. Logan is applying to be a peer pal for his school.  Peer pals help younger classes with reading, crafts, math, etc. for allotted times each week.  Only 2 children per 4th and 5th grade class get picked so I really hope he is chosen.  He has to fill out an application, needs a teacher recommendation, and a community recommendation (someone not in his family).  Here is his application questions - I love his sweet heart:
   
2. Chris' 41st birthday is tomorrow!!
3. When I said last week that we had lost our noodles regarding sports - this is what I mean....this is our Sunday schedule (every member of our family has a different color on the calender - Logan is green, Evan is red).  This is no joke friends.  What we have here is organized mass confusion.
   
4. My kids are crazy about the new Disney movie Descendants. 
5. Willow steals Logan and Evan's shower poofs (for body wash) out of their shower everyday while they are at school and carries them all over the house.  She thinks it's a game.
   

The Friday Five

1. Fall is in full swing and along with that comes a new sports season.  Logan and Evan are playing both flag football and baseball.  Layne is doing gymnastics.  Chris and I have lost our noodles.
2. School is back and hitting us hard.  Flash cards were on the agenda this week.  Fourth grade is hard ya'll.  Forget that, kindergarten is hard.  I've got a sassy 5 year old that told me Mrs. Williams would give me a sad face for writing my 'r' the way I do, so I had to redo those sight words.  I've also been giving Logan test taking tips in math (he had a multiplication test yesterday where he had to answer 50 questions in 3 minutes), which was accompanied by eye rolls.....until it actually worked for him!  And then I was a genius.  I'll take what I can get.
   
3. Evan got his first recognition from his teacher this year:
   
4. I started my 3rd semester of nursing school about 2 weeks ago.  I have OB, Pediatric, and Med-Surgical clinicals this semester.  I'm already in love with Peds and OB, so I am looking forward to the weeks to come.
5. Chris and I celebrated 10 years of marriage last Wednesday!
