March Catch Up

Only 28 more days of school and I will be DONE. I have decided not to go back to teaching, at least not next year and not middle school, so in 6 weeks I will be enjoying my first day of summer vacation. I'll decide from there what the future holds, but I can say long term teachers are saints. This job is not for the weak, and you can talk about breaks all you want, but I can promise you if teachers didn't get them, you would have NO ONE willing to do this job. 

I think my last post was the very start of spring break. We had a good time and didn't do too much. Lillian did her driving for driver's ed and has been practicing a lot. She rode her horse/worked and both girls hung out with friends some 


 
Lillian asked Yaya if she could borrow a camera a while back, and then when she met Jackson she realized he had that hobby too. They have been taking turns practicing at riding lessons and baseball games. 



We went down to Baton Rouge to celebrate my birthday with Nana. She made an effort to see me for my birthday for almost 40 years, so now that she can't, I try to go to her 




We had a weekend at the deer camp and it was the first time all the McCormicks had a weekend together since Christmas. It was nice to be together and the crawfish was so good! 








We went to a hockey game and celebrated Maddi's birthday one weekend








Kathleen and Matt got some one on one time and spent time at the camp together and hung out and did some fishing 


We have her state gymnastics meet in 5 days and it's looking like this will be her last one. She has decided the only event she likes is floor so we are putting her in just tumbling classes in hopes to try again for cheer next year. She has also recently discovered she likes volleyball and is trying out for the school team. Even if she doesn't make that, she is going to play in a summer league though the church so it will be something new regardless 

Lots of new adventures and things going on at the McCormick house, but the most exciting still has to be that summer countdown! 😉

Last Day of Summer

Image
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...

Summertime!

Image
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’...

Pancakes and Pajamas

Matt, Lilli and I all had a good time tonight at Asbury's pancakes and pajamas.  I'm not sure if it was the first time they had done this but it was the first time we'd gone at least.  All the kids came in their pjs and ate pancakes for dinner.  Then they all curled up in their sleeping bags to watch The Brave Little Toaster while the adults got to talk.  Of course this sweet picture of them laying down and being still didn't last the whole time but they loved it. It was a little long to hold their attention but no one seemed to mind.  When it was over Lilli actually said "Oh, no! I missed the whole thing," We just laughed and told her that was because she was playing through it.  I love that she really likes to go to church to see her friends and we're lucky that we like their parents so much too!
