School is Coming Soon...

Has been a little over a week since I've really written.  Has been like Jekyll and Hyde here.  Not really sure which one is going to appear.  Generally occurs every few weeks where we have a doozy of a week that is rough.  Last week was that week.  Nothing major in particular.  Just general attitude and sass.  Nothing over the top awful.  Just lots of little things that pile up and create a lot of tension and talks with us and attitude adjustments.

Last few days have been good.  Liking that.  Madi got a call from her friend Elizabeth.  Elizabeth is in LEAP with her and is a smart, fun, outgoing girl.  Can be crazy at times and very hyper, but extremely sweet.  She is also on the TCat Swim team.  They have a lot in common.

Elizabeth asked if Madi could come over to play.  She should bring her doll, doll clothes and bathing suit.  So I said "Of Course!"  Madi had played with her about a month ago so it was nice to have her getting a call to have a playdate.  They had a blast!!  Played with their American Girl dolls and went swimming at the subdivision pool.

They had so much fun that Elizabeth's mom invited Madi over for a sleepover.  But the best part is that Madi was invited to go to the American Girl doll store with them!  She's soooo excited!!  Elizabeth has a few items she has saved up for and I think Madi is going to use a little bit of her money to get an item or two.  Will be fun for them I think!!

Today she went into work with Jeremy.  She plays games on her iPod or computer and it allows me to only juggle two girls instead of all three.  And she's quite easy at Jeremy's work as she's in the other room using her technology!

I will try to have Madi work on her Camp KidJam stories for days 3 and 4.  She's already written about day 1 and 2.  She really had a great time!!

The girls are all ready for school!  Clothes, supplies!  All we need to know now is who she will have as a teacher.  They rotate in fifth grade through all of the teachers so it really doesn't matter which homeroom she has as she will see all of them during each day.  I didn't request a certain teacher because she is in LEAP and they generally put all the LEAP kids together.  She is excited to go back, but not totally wanting to.  She's excited to start fifth grade and really can not wait to go to sixth grade!

She has also been working on writing a book.  She's about five chapters into it.  Great story and original character names.  She had started on one book at your parent's house, but decided to change it to another one.  Will see if she wants to post it now or wait until it is done.

I start work on the 17th and will be going into school to get the room ready starting next week.  Can hardly believe it!  Madi doesn't go back until the 27th.  Riley is super excited for Kinder and Jules keeps asking if she can go to Kinder too.  Hoping that it is an awesome year for her!!
