FRIDAY

The weekend is HERE! I started it off early with a massage. It is prehaps the fastest 50 minutes. My neck has been out since Sunday and I was hoping a massage would help and I had a gift certificate so.... It did feel great, but neck is still out. If it isn't back in by Monday I will have to find a chiropractor. The school was having a great sale on their loyalty card 5 massages for $75 so I bought one. So my goal is one massage a month. I am even going to get brave and try a man massage therapist. I have always thought I would be uncomfortable with a man, but the girl that did my massage today said that the guy's are great because they assess the muscles and go to town were the woman gently work the muscles. I prefer the "get the job done" method.

The boys have PLANS for the weekend. Ethan has a friend coming tomorrow day and a b-day overnight and Tucker is in the process of making plans. Sunday is Tucker's b-day party. So BUSY, BUSY!

Cassie

Cassie is my little helper with the dishes. She loves to rinse, only bad part, the amount of water that is wasted. Tonight we watched High School Musical and she was dancin' away. It was really cute.

Yo-Yo boy is Home

1st quarter of school FINISHED

October 31st was the end of first quarter. Both boys are doing very well. Ethan has a 90% over-all and Tucker has a 96%. I am proud of both of them. As rocky as the year started off I am glad we enrolled in Connections. It is a lot of work, but I think they are learning a lot and it is nice having a teacher they can call. Especially Tucker!!! We can butt heads when he doesn't want to listen or gets frustrated. Last week when he wouldn't listen I said "Call Mrs. Christenson." He called her and she walked him through the problem and the fight was over. Tucker likes having a teacher. Ethan still would just rather ask Mom! Thankfully I can still figure out the answers. Most of the time!!!

Just some pics

Conner and Tucker were making silly faces. I kept trying to get a picture, but he would move before the camera was finished. He loves to look at the pictures of himself after I take them.

Not too much going on. We went to mom's on Friday and it was raining. Ellie was ABSOLUTELY muddy so Saturday morning she got a bath. I like to take pictures when she is clean. It is rare that she is clean. She loves to play outside and get dirty.

Day 3 on Core

Today is my third day back on Core. I am doing quite well. I have stayed on track so far. Rusty and I even got a walk in last night. It's kind of fun to walk in the dark. I am down almost 2 pounds. YEAH!!!!

Science and Yo-Yo's

Here is Ethan's Yo-Yo collection. He is insistent that it be blogged for all to see. He has two more on the way.

Tucker's last science experiment. Growing beans in polluted and non-polluted soil. The beans in the polluted soil did not sprout. This is the non-polluted beans after 10 days.

My Boys!!!

Growth spurt!!!

Well Ethan is officially taller than me. Not that I am tall, but ... Last month I was still taller, but he has grown an inch in a month and passed me up. He is quite PROUD!!!!
