Danny's Report Card

This morning we had to be at the school at 7:30.  It was my turn for a teahcer's conference with Miss Donaldson so that we could get Danny's report card.  We made it to the school with a few minutes to spare.  It was a good thing too.  Today is also Mass day, and picture day and as we were getting out of the van I saw that John Michael did not have on a belt, so to the office we went to borrow one.  Thank you Mrs. Battles for always being prepared for those of us who just are glad to make it out of the house with pants on.
Danny did amazing on his report card.  So proud of him. He had all A's and B's and the 2 B's were high.  In fact in public school he would have had straight A's.  Super proud of him.  He seemed to be pretty proud of himself too. 
I headed to John Michael's class after I was done in Danny's to help out with hair and ties for picture day.  I wish that they had there pictures in regular clothes, it would make the yearbook more personalized in my opinion.  They all look alike when they are in uniform.  The first grade class did amazing though.  Such big girls and boys.
Mass as always was great and just what I needed in the middle of this insane week.
Today was the last day of the 1:00 dismissals for the week.  Again, I am looking forward to the paycheck, but I will be glad to have a regular time frame returning.  I have so much to do and there is just not enough time in the day as it is.  It will get done though!

4th Grade

So this morning I took the last picture of Danny as a third grader at home.  He was not thrilled about having his picture taken but he also knows that his momma is very sentimental, and she loves to have her pictures!

We went to the last school mass of the year.  It was great as always, but I cannot believe that school is over.  I was pretty teary especially thinking about so much that is going on right now.  I spent a lot of time Thanking God for all of the blessings that He has given me, and also asking for some guidance.

The rising of the grades was after Mass and Danny officially became a 4th grader.  All I can say is WOW! 

He got his report card and ISB test reults.  I am proud to say that we finished with all A's and B's, and that he scored above average in almost every category.  I am so so proud of my little man.  I just cannot believe that he is growing up so fast. 

So summer has started!  I am so excited.  We are going to be super busy, but it is going to be great!

We had our first All Star game tonight, which was exciting.  It was in Morris which is seriously out there, but it is fine with me, I am just glad that he is playing and that he is having a good time.  They did not win, but it was one bad inning that cost it for them, they played great.  Mom came with me which was fun.   She worries so much about everything that all I could do was laugh. 

Brandon went by the house and they have started to hang the sheetrock, in fact they were not too far from done!  YAY!!  The picture is from our bedroom.  They also worked on the brick but they finished off the corners in the back for siding and we are supposed to have four sides brick not three. 

Report Cards, Practice, and More Practice :0)

So today was report card day. Even though I can view their grades online there are always a few nerves that come with this day. Danny got all A's and B's. I am so proud of him. He even brought his semester average up to all A's and B's for the first semester. I knew that he could do it, especially since the one C he got was really a mishap and not all his fault. This came from his teacher, not me. John Michael did very well too, of course his grades are not like this yet, but he seems to be a pro in Kindergarten or at least working on becoming one.
John Michael planted some seeds at school and brought the "tree" home for us to water and help it get sun and start to grow. Hopefully we will be successful. Danny and Brandon are the two with green thumbs, John Michael and I are working on it. Maybe this will be the turning point. I am not sure it is a tree I think it is grass but we shall see, he knows it is a tree!
After school we had Epiphany practice. We just hung out at the school. Did all of the homework and read and celebrated the awesome report cards.
Epiphany practice went great. Danny is now playing 2 parts, he is the soldier and a king. He is excited, so is John Michael. I am hoping that I can get Brandon to film it for me. We shall see. I think I will e-mail Mary and ask her now if it is okay. Fingers crossed.
After getting fitted for costumes Danny had basketball practice. He did great as usual.
After practice it was time to come home eat, take showers, and go to bed.
