Adri and Sammy have been lucky in having me teach elementary this year because they have been able to accompany me to school events and actually enjoy them. They love visiting my classroom and playing with the students (all of whom hug and love on them when they come in as well as make them special pictures for me to bring to home) and going along with me when we have fundraisers such as Chuck E Cheese and Barnes and Noble. Tomorrow night we will be going to a movie that our school is putting on in the evening. I'm guessing this will be Sammy and Adri's favorite to date since they LOVE movie nights and they will have popcorn and get to play with the other students.
Some of the new things the kids are doing: Sammy is finally going potty on the potty!!! He's also started talking in complete sentences and to the point that we can understand his wants and needs! This is huge because up until this point he hasn't been. Adri has started sounded out letters and can read actual words!!! She also started riding a two wheel bike this summer (she's the only one in her class at school that can ride a two wheeler!) She is taking tumbling classes and learning all kinds of new ways to move her body!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the past few months...Now that we're getting back into the swing of things, perhaps I can start taking more photos and blogging. ;) Sometimes I just love my optimism. :D
The three musketeers. Adri and Sam must have tired Sandy out...

Not sure this is even safe, but you might call it red neck surfing. I have no other name for it.

Adri's rendition of "Mommy's angry face"
Adri-ism from today: While I was bathing Sandy tonight Adri asked me "Mommy, can we eat Sandy?" "What?!" I asked her. "Can we eat her?" she repeated. "Or would we have to kill her to eat her?" I was totally taken off guard and not sure where she was going with this. "Um, we would have to kill her to eat her. If you want to eat an animal you have to kill it." I responded. "Oh! Well I don't want Sandy to die! We better not eat her." she said. "Good idea." Adri turns back to Sandy and starts petting her while I wash her, "We won't eat you Sandy, don't worry!"
Sammy-ism from today: Mommy! I pee on the potty twice today! Adri broke window! (Sam threw a toy at school and broke a window and he keeps insisting it was Adri.
Adri made a paper chain of her entire family today. It was adorable and she was so proud! Your babies are getting so big!
