First week of school

Well Ellie has finished her first week of kindergarten and she is having fun so far! For the first 5 days of school all she could tell us was that she ate. So when we asked her what she did in school she would say, "we had snack, then we ate lunch, then we had an afternoon snack and then another snack at Jane's!" Jane's is her afterschool daycare. We just laughed and laughed when she told us the same thing all week. In the past she has never been able to remember what she ate and now she is only remembering that she ate. Maybe has something to do with the huge eating growth spert she's having these days. She seems to eat a lot lately, more than Nate who usually ate more than her. Anyway, these past two days of school she's been able to tell us something other than eating. I think days six and seven things are finally sinking in and she's getting used to the routine of things she remembers what she does now.

She got to swim on Thursday which was fun for her! She gets to go to the library on fridays which she loves also. She brought home a recipe book of valentine treats. Not sure if she thought we'd make those things if she brought it home or if she really just wanted to look at it and read the yummy recipes, but we did. She knows they played a game in PE and they, "rolled balls at this thing and the blue team got to go first." Not sure what this meant but that's what they did. Mr. M has been the letter they were studying and she doesn't get to sleep during rest time because, "ALL THE OTHER KIDS ARE TALKING!" is her expressive way of saying why she didn't sleep. The nurses are doing awesome giving her the eye drops every two hours! All around Ellie is very happy! SO ARE WE!!

Thursday night was the first NU High home football game in the dome. Ellie wanted to dress in black and orange for the day and then go to the game. So we loaded up and headed to the dome. We got to see some teachers and other staff we knew from our years at NU High. We also ran into some other alumni we know. Ellie found friends right away and wanted to be social with them. Geez it starts already, didn't want to sit with the fam for the game, she wanted to socialize. I guess I was the same way, a social butterfly, so I'm happy she's social also. Oh...but she would sit with us when she was hungry and wanted food. I see how it is. It's starts now, she's only in kindergarten and like tomorrow she will be graduating. hhmmmmm....

We have a long weekend coming up and I am on the work crisis line. I believe it's going to be a quiet one. Ryan is working on his dad's house finishing up the brick all weekend so I'll be entertaining the kids and doing house upkeep. Fun times...Well that's all for now folks and I'll be seein' yall soon! Have a good one!
