Schools Out For Christmas!

Tomorrow is really the last day but they aren’t going because we’re leaving for Baton Rouge directly after my morning closing. They are missing Polar Express Day but got to go to their class parties. There were snacks, games, crafts and lots of excitement. 

I’m Katie’s room Mom so I had to stay in her class but I did manage to pop in to Lilli’s room for a few minutes to say hi. Yaya was there to watch all the fun and I was so thankful. I’m sure she was busy with her friends but I know she would have been upset if no one was there for her. Thanks Yaya!

The rest of the week has been good too. Sunday Kelli and I took Lily and Lillian to see the Jim Henson Christmas special in theaters. Katie wasn’t interested so she and Matt did some Christmas shopping and went out to eat. Both girls were happy with what they chose to do.


Of course being the week before Christmas I have a million things to do. But it’s one of those times that you hear God laughing because as I was helping with a kindergarten party on Monday, I tripped and fell hard on my wrist to the point where I thought I might had broken it.

It turns out it’s just sprained and badley bruised but the doctor wants me in this for at least two weeks. I don’t know if I’m gonna make it that long but I’m going to try. It sure is annoying! It could be worse though. Maybe it was his way of making me slow down a little because a lot of things got marked off my list that I decided weren’t necessary. Probably a good reminder for most of us this time of year.

Summertime!

Yesterday was Bossier’s last day of school, but we’ve been in summer mode since they got done LEAP testing a couple of weeks ago. It’s honestly so dumb that they had 10 days of school after testing because they did NOTHING. There was a whole lot of movie watching and playing on computers. On top of the fact that grades were due over a week ago, so it’s not like there was much they could have done. We stayed out on school nights, had pool days and skipped half days to hang with Pops, or friends or just to bake.  Katie had her awards and field day last Wednesday. She ended the year with Straight A’s and a member of National Honor Society. It was so fun to watch her compete in field day events and get to meet some more of her school friends too I checked Katie, Madison and Britney out of school when it was over, and they spent the afternoon in the pool and then we all (with Koy and Lil) went to Josie’s Tball game that night. It was the second one we’d been to in a week and I swear it’...

Last Day of Summer

That’s a wrap. Summer 2019 is done and tonight is a school night. It’s been a great one. We went to the beach, Did lots of swimming, spent time with all of the cousins. But it’s time to go back and they are excited. We had Shaleigh and Lily over and went to the pool for a few hours. They had it to themselves and it was fun to spend several hours swimming and getting in one last day of play. It was also meet the teacher. Katie has Mrs. Wilhelm (top) but she is still on maternity leave until Labor Day. So for the next month she has Mrs. Huckabee who she knows because she subs and she had her several times in kindergarten. Both of Lillian‘s teachers are new to Apollo this year so we are not sure what to expect but they seemed very nice. Mrs. Winans is her homeroom and then she switches for math and science. It’s a welcome change to only have two teachers this year. Three teachers in third grade was a little much and in fact they’re not even doing that anymore. Back to school also means ba...

Bar-J and More Baseball

For Christmas last year, Pops and Honey gave his 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters a weekend at a “dude ranch” for a gift. We picked the weekend because it was Anna and Piper’s spring break and it’s harder for Anna to miss school as a Junior than the other 3. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect and the timing worked out perfectly for us to celebrate Allie’s 40th birthday on the 4th too. They came in Thursday and Matt grilled steaks for her actual bday. I didn’t get one picture that night but it was a nice evening. The next morning, we got up and drove to El Dorado to the ranch. It was the “rancher’s experience” and we got in 3 rides, plus the kids got to help care for all the animals Dad has his own cabin and all 7 girls were in a bunk room together. After we were settled, we went to catch the horses in a field to take them to the stable to be saddled  The wranglers were very patient considering there were 8 of us and none knew how to help very much. But there was lots of...
