Parent - Teacher Conferences

Ok, so today was the day! The day where a parent finds out what is REALLY going on in school. And all was great!

I learned that Elijah needs to work on his writing and comprehending. He is in 3rd grade and reads at a 4th grade level but writes a lot lower. And he behaves very well in class.

Elizabeth is doing excellent. She is top of her class in all areas. That doesn't mean as much to me as what else her teacher had to say:
That she is such a joy and a real leader. She is helpful with other kids and he can put her with anyone to help them. Everyone in class likes to work with her. She is trustworthy and behaves wonderfully. I even asked if she talks too much. Surprisingly the answer was no!
I think her teacher is guinely (how do you spell that stinkin word?) happy to have her in his class.

Jacob is also doing wonderful. He's come a long way. At the beginning of the year he just wanted to stay home with mom. But now he loves school and his teacher. His work has improved tons too.

So that went well! :) I'm proud of my Monkies!

On other tidbits, things are well for me. I'm glad the Book Fair is done. I'm really enjoying the PTA though. We had another meeting last night. Lots of fun things coming up to raise more money. Anyone wanna buy a Discount Card? :) There are some other activites coming up for just fun too.

I'm off soda for 2 days now! I actually started (again) on Sunday. But then we went to my brothers house on Monday and that is always a junk food and game frenzy. So I toppled off the wagon - willingly! :) I actually drank so much soda that I was nauseous that night driving home. Kindof cured me for the next day. Soda just doesn't sound good.
It's also been dry here so I'm more dehydrated so all I really want is water.

I have that stinkin Super Saturday coming fast! Still not finding the motivation to do things.

I had a good day shopping after a few weeks of putting that on the back burner. For those of you that don't know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE coupons!! I save generally 70% on groceries.
This is what I got on Tuesday at Basha's and Albertsons:
4 Eggo Waffles
8 personal sized Blue Bunny Ice Creams
30 boxes of Quaker items (granola bars, breakfast bars, and YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY oatmeal!)
1 gallon of milk
2 smart waters
6 24 oz jars of La Victoria salsa
tiny bag of apples (Livvy's snack)
2 bags of quacamole

total = $165
I paid = $15
not too shabby! :)

Other than all that stuff, there isn't much going on right now. Sorry for the boring update!
