Wednesday of this week seems to be "fun day" for all at school. The muchkins get out at 1:00 today so I have a bunch to get done before they arrive home. I just wanted to sit down for a few minutes with my coffee and share a little about my children since many of you have not met them or seen them for years.
Joshua and MaryAlyce are having "Field Day" today so off they went complete with bright yellow, new t-shirts, water bottles and sun screen. They will be enjoying all sorts of activites outside, and since it will be warm today, it's straight to the bathtub when they get home!
Hannah is having "Decades Day" at the middle school. She went for the 60's look and left the house complete with bell bottoms (not as big as ours used to be!) and a little peace symbol around her neck. She fits the part so well! I'm sure I'll get all the details when she gets home today.
Tomorrow is the Last Day of School...everyone gets out at 11:00. Not sure why they even go, but we will follow-through 'til the end. Thanks to all of the teachers for the wonderful jobs they have done this year teaching our children and helping them grow up!
MaryAlyce finishes Kindergarten and is such a big girl now....she just turned 6 in May. She, of course, will be going to China with us. She loves to read, play with her toys and draw. She can works on art projects for hours it seems. Her newest "passion" is her first Webkin "black cat" that she just got for her birthday...thanks to some of our Q cousins! We have a computer in our kitchen and all three kids are very proficient at it.
Joshua, who finishes 3rd grade, will turn 11 in August. He and granddaddy Q share the same birthday. He has done such a wonderful job this year in school, especially considering he has only been speaking English for three years! He will be going to summer school for six weeks which will help him stay on track for the next school year. He is also going to boy scout camp for the first time and is "jumping for joy" over that news! He'll do that while we are in China, and it breaks my heart that I am going to miss the excited look on his face each day when he arrives home....and all the tales of his adventures. Besides scouting, Joshua enjoys Legos and could spend hours building things....a budding architect like daddy???
Hannah, completing 6th grade, had a little difficulty this year adjusting to the new school routine, but is ending like a shining star. I think she is finally getting the hang of changing classes and having a locker. She is heading to church camp and girl scout camp while we are in China. Again, I am going to miss the excitement of it all. We are going to have alot of catching up to do when we get back together as a family. She will be a "program aide" at scout camp and is looking foward to helping teach the younger girls. She just went to a training program for several hours and the shining eyes let me know she will be a natural at the job. Hannah enjoys devouring books, drawing, acting, playing her clarinet, computers, and her friends. She is turning 12 in June, while we are away, so be sure to wish her a happy birthday for us if you see her.
