Kiersten finished up her first semester and found herself a job and a boyfriend all at once. Her manager at Costa Vida sent her to clean the lobby, baseboards included. Afterwards he told her that she did the best job of anyone he's had. As she was relaying this story to me, she told me it was because of all the cleaning I taught her to do, baseboards included!
Erik loves all things vinyl. I was walking with my school kids during lunch and caught him putting up some vinyl at the school we share. I'm sure he loves his mom stalking him. He's got four college classes this semester. I can't believe we'll have two graduated from high school soon.
The mail coming to our house now has Nate's name all over it. Apparently he scored a perfect score on the math section of the PSAT test that the sophomores take and alerted colleges big time.
Alex is our Owl of the Week at school. The greatest time saver I've come up with as a mom is to keep those All About Me birthday posters. I pulled out the one we used last year and in kindergarten, swapped out an old picture for a more current one, and included his form. Wallah. We have a board that took me one minute to put together. The form had a section for who his hero was. He thought about it for days and finally put down Nate because Nate practices to be good at everything.
Tyler finally has an real, in person interview this week. That is something to celebrate around here as the waiting continues.
This winter will go down in my books as ideal. Snow on Christmas and then warms back up for January. The past couple of weeks have felt like spring, enough that we took "the littles" (that's our new name for Ash and Alex since the three older ones are either not around or don't want to participate in our activities) to Antelope Island. The last time we were there was end of summer many years ago and we competed with bugs and spiders and gnats. On Martin Luther day we went again and didn't have to deal with any of that.
