No I haven't fallen off the Earth or been kidnapped by Aliens. I have however been held captive by DIBELS. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of experiencing it not its not some new disease, is a scientifically based assessment that all students who go to Chandler Elementary Schools get to take, and I am fortunate enough to be my schools DIBELS coordinator. Thank goodness it is over until winter when the fun begins again.
Anyway here is an update on the goings on here in the Gilbert house hold.
Another week has come to an end and yet another has begun. What a week it has been. School is now in full swing. Although my students yearn to be back on vacation they reluctantly complete their assignments to the best of their ability.
Kristin has adjusted well to her new classroom and Jessica to her new schedule (Monday’s all day at Julie’s and Friday, half days). I’m beginning to become accustomed to getting up at the crack of dawn to get ready for work and Chris has gotten use to not having me or Kristin home during the day.
With school back in session we look forward to weekends. One of these past ones I took the girls up to Rimrock. Kristin had been begging to see Cosmo as well as Nana and Papa. Jessica wanted to see Nana, Papa and Cosmo and expressed her excitement by running to (and out of) Julie’s door when I went to pick her up. The girls had a blast. Kristin loved feeding the deer with Papa. They even got to see one. Jessica loved playing ball with Cosmo. Both girls enjoyed watching Nana working on a wonderful video of their Hawaiian vacation for their friends. Kristin really enjoyed helping Nana edit the video one night. Did you ever get that to burn correctly Mom? The next morning found us in Prescott having breakfast with friends, shopping at Lowes and spending money at Walmart.
Other than that, life has been cruising right along. Kristin has started back up in brownies and will hopefully be starting gymnastics this coming week. Jessica continues to get bigger everyday. Both girls continue to keep us laughing at every turn.
Chris will be changing his days off soon. YEAH. Starting in September he will have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. Guess what that means for our parents . . . look out mom and dad here we come. Hey Dad, now Chris can help on the deck . . . save some for him to do.
