Oh, Yeah, we made it through our first week of school!!! I am very pleased to report that all the kiddos are loving their classes :)
Carlie seems to like being in with the older kids and is adjusting very well to being in with different kids. She has already had a few quizzes this week and made 100's on all of them except History. What is it with her and History?! She made a new/old friend, Camryn. Camryn has been to VBS at our church in the past and actually lives out here by us, but we don't really run in the same circles, so we hardly see her and her family.
Makena is doing great too! She has made a new friend, Oriah. Oriah moved here with her family from Texas about three years ago and has previously attended the Catholic School here in town and her brother Meshach has attended our school, but this is her first year here at our school. She is in the 4th grade and Makena is in the 5th, but they are in the same room, so they get to see each other all day. Makena had two quizzes on Friday, but doesn't know what she made on them yet. I'm not worried :)
Trey has had a pretty good week too! He isn't wanting to wear his glasses during the video like he is supposed to (he said that his headphones hit them and hurt his head), so we've had a little talk and told him he HAS to wear them during video. He did very well in class until yesterday. He was still behaving well, he just got caught talking in class, so he got a stick pulled. One for the whole week isn't that bad (I guess.). Mrs. Odom still considers him one of her best students. He's just a boy :) Next week homework starts for everybody, so the madness will begin. I sure hope I can help them study like I have in the past....now I'll just have to make room for one more!

Makena was being silly....dressed up like a witch!

Carlie's turn to drive! They all love it when she drives because she is a little crazy with her driving. I have to tell her a lot to slow down and not turn so sharp!
Look Out! Now T's driving. Don't worry, I'm never far....

I guess that's about all for now. Carl has been working late all week, but I just keep reminding myself that every late night is getting us closer to being done!
Tomorrow is church and Carlie is going to Hot Springs with my dad afterwards. She's been begging him to take her on one of his trips all summer long, so here it is at the end and she's finally going :) I guess they'll have a little bonding time!
Happy Weekend!!
