School--Arthur and I are doing well. Okay, let me rephrase that...Arthur is doing REALLY well and I am doing ok. I wish I could do better, but it is extremely hard with everything else we have going on. It will be ok though. :) School on Claudia's part is wonderful. Claudia loves learning and going. She has many friends. She sometimes gets bored at school because she either knows what to do and understands the concepts, or it is because she rushes through her coloring and cutting things. They are starting to go over words. They call them their sight words which they are supposed to learn how to read and how to write. They each have a baggie that has about 8 words in it. At the beginning of the week, they add more words to it. This is really great except for one thing...Claudia is WAYYYY beyond that . I mean come on, the words are like: Dad, I , see, Mom...etc. You get it. Claudia just recited them over and over and writes them. I sure wish Idaho had kindergarterners go all day. Or even if they had a special program for them. Still, we do appreciate all that the teacher does for them. :) Aeris loves going to appletree (her daycare) and loves helping out everyone! The teacher always loves to tell us how Aeris does everything so well for her age. Aeris is writing and coloring and cutting and also doing well. She really is a great math person! She loves numbers and wants to continue to grow! We are working with her on reading now as well. We just are sad that she will not be starting kindergarten for another two years!!! But, we are definitely thinking about putting her in preschool or maybe even seeing if she could go to kindergarten. We shall see. Summer is a lovely happy toddler! She LOVES babies! She loves everyone! She loves blowing kisses,giving hugs, waving bye bye, saying uh oh!, and more! She thinks she can do absolutely everything her sisters can do,and her sisters are right by her side wanting her to do the things they do. Sometimes, that can be dangerous though. Summer really does not like it when her sisters pick her up and carry her around. She wants to do things. She does love playing the game Hungry Hungry hippos. I think for christmas she might be getting the travel version of this game. :) Arthur and I love that we might not be here in Idaho for too much longer. Yay!!! We recently spent a LOT to get the van fixed and safe and ready for travel.We also had to buy new tires for the van. Oy Vei! Lots of money, but it will be worth going and seeing family for Christmas! We are going to be cooking for Thanksgiving! We do not have anyone coming over, but we are making a lot of food!!! We have three turkeys to fry!!! yay!!! Yummyness in our apartment that day! The girls are too excited to start making the rolls and pies and other things for that day. They love having us off of school. Our christmas tree is up right now. We just haven't put the decorations on it. :P I am sorry this is so random, but trying to type before Arthur gets out and we have to go and get the girls from daycare and take Claudia to school!!! :) It is always busy here in the DeJean household! I will try and write more and take pics and let you know how baby is doing!!! See ya!!!
TEXAN POTATOES OUT!!
