DANCING

Duoothe conferences this week, the kiddos get early release. Whichmans Mimi gets home at 1:15 in the afternoon. It is way too cold to playoutside. So she and Halli brought their fun indoors.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE

From Wednesday of this week till Wednesday of next week is parent teacher conference.This past Wednesday was our turn. Shelley and I did a babysitting swap. Mimi went to Zoe's during our conference. Happy to report that she did really good. We are very proud of her.

Ms. Davidson says that math is her strongest subject for which she recieved a 4. Both Mimi and I have been working very hard this year. It's been a struggle at times as she really hates homework and would rather play all the time. Also every year gets harder and harder. It was also a struggle for myself too just getting the hang of having tests 3x's weekly.

This breaking my arm has put a real kink into my daily life. Can't do much as the wrist is still bit sore. I am trying to cut down on the Vicodin because it makes me sleepy and tired all day.

Then because I am tired all day, have been a bit lax on doing the homework with Mimi. One good thing is that because it is conference time and we had the one day of power outages, there were no math tests this week. Gives me time to get back on track.

NATHAN"S 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Last week Nathan and his family learned his true age is 7. His family had a small party for him at his house and they invited Mimi along with a couple of other kids from the neighborhood. At first Katia was a little shy to play with Mimi but she soon warmed up and the two of them got along great. They had loads of fun playing hide and seek with Nathan.

Beacuse of Nathan's inability to hear well, they could easily hide from him. He would look up and they'd be gone somewhere and I would see them peeking around the corner snickering. Then the played tag and Wii. While Nathan opened his presents, Mimi completed this puzzle. She is really into puzzles nowadays and s is Nathan. Foe Nathan's birthday Mim gave him a 3d dragon puzzle along withe a Kung Zhu ....zhu zhu pet. Nathan was sooooooo happy! On or side, I had a time trying to keep it away from Mimi. "But mom! I've been dying for one!" she would cry.
