What a week...







So, Tuesday we had a bit of snow. Yes, a BIT. The girls were in heaven. We have not had a bit of snow in a few years (since we were in the yellow house, as we call it). Chloe was very young and didn't remember so she was very excited to see it coming down. They went out and attempted both a snowman and snow angels. The snowman was obviously tiny and they made a good attempt on the snow angels.



John's school is going. He is doing well at it, but the lack of sleep for both of us is driving us a bit batty. I'm hoping Sunday will be a good rest day for him, but only time will tell. Just think, only 2 1/2 more weeks to go. YEAH! And the girls are looking forward to seeing their Dad graduate.

Our school, here at the house, has seen better weeks, I believe. Somehow we are just behind. A couple of days where one or two subjects weren't finished because of running errands (seems like errands have multiplied since John's been in school) and BAM we're behind a whole day. Not sure how it happened but it did. We'll get everything caught up but it is rather nerve racking. John is always telling to me to just drop a day and do it later but I'm a little nuts. Once I have it down on "paper" I want to complete it. The girls are with me because they know the more days we put off, the further into June they are going to have to go so they don't mind a Saturday here and there so long as its not a repeat of last year! I cringe at the thought.
On the TKD front...
Chloe is preparing to receive her black belt recommended in a couple of weeks. She has been working very hard, with our shortened class schedule, to learn her new form. She says its hard! lol Master Mike told Ryan, Gabby and me that we MAY actually mid-term this time because we will learn the last few moves of the form this coming Tuesday and he thinks we'll be ready. I, of course, laughed out loud when he told us. I'm sooo not ready for that one! Jesse will not mid-term but doesn't mind. All the 1st degrees and above are up front with Master Mike helping with graduation and she loves it! She is also back helping Miss Amy teach the Little Dragon class, which she also enjoys.

You got about as much snow as we did. :D The boys did figure out how to have a little snowball fight.

I hope these next two + weeks fly by for your and John.

Chloe's doing great with her form. I think it's nice that they know the whole thing and get to work on it for the next couple weeks instead of learning the last five steps the week before graduation. I missed that part about you three mid-terming. That's great!

I'm glad someone is happy about the possiblity of a mid-term. I'm sure Ryan is!

Well, I'm not sure happy is the right term. I'm already bummed that my mom, my sister and Miss Amy won't be at graduation. I thought it would be cool to have you and Ryan in the line up to high 5 me when I got my belt. :(

But, it is great that you all are such fast learners!
