The Days Rush On By.

We started the week off running, not really my thing for Mondays.  I am a fan of just doing one thing/outing per day and yesterday was a little much for all of us! I really need to become a morning person-what is the secret???!  Becca had her class field trip to the pumpkin patch.  I was able to go with and take the other kids which is wonderful....not so wonderful was being out of the house with lunches for everyone by 7:45.  Yes, I do take them some mornings but we are usually not prepared to be out in public!  We did make it but James missed his breakfast, thankfully he is a happy boy and was very entertained with all the kids until I could find a moment to feed him.  The kids had a fun time at the patch, Andrea was scared to feed the animals and I would be too seeing as one of the bunny's bit her.  Becca loved the dark hay maze, Andrea not so much.  We all got a very slow wagon ride and got to pick out pumpkins.  We were then all off to the park.  It was a beautiful day, I would say fall day but it was quite warm.  We headed back to the house seeing as Becca's class was just having rest time for the rest of their day.  I think James needs at least one nap in his bed...even if he gets woken up to go get Brayden.  That poor baby I don't think ever gets to sleep to his hearts content during the day.  After a quick snack break we all headed back to school for Parent Teacher Conferences.

Brayden's conference went very well, Brayden like playing with lego's and surprise, gym is his favorite special.  He needs work on beginning to read and sounds of the alphabet.  His teacher is wonderful and gave us some great ideas  and encouragement.  He is "making progress" in his behavior skills in general....although he did go to see Mr B. (the principal) yesterday.  Becca is also doing well, learning and remembering her letters and sounds.  She is much quieter and is working on making friends.  She also had great motor skills but needs work on her fine motor skills.  Mrs Oxenham was again great and gave us some ideas on how to strengthen those muscles.  I am so thankful for such wonderful teachers who love our children and treat each child with such love. They work so hard at teaching and showing God's word to the kids.  We finished the day with the library, and bed time....one of my favorite times by the end of the day.
