Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone. I hope everyone has had a good day. We had a nice service at church and then we ate lunch at Memaw and Granddad's. We colored some Easter eggs yesterday and Nathan hunted them in the backyard. It has been a beautiful day. Donald wanted Nathan to wear a button down shirt and tie this morning. Nathan does not like button down shirts for some reason and did not want to put it on so that was a battle I did not pick and Nathan picked his shirt out and he still looked cute. There is a book fair at Nathan's school this week so I might go help a few days. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

School fundraiser night at McDonald's

Last night was Sylvan Hills elementary night at McDonald's. It was from 5 until 9. So guess where we ate for dinner. Memaw and Granddad met us there and ate dinner with us. It was fun, Ronald McDonald was there and there were some of the teachers working in the kitchen and the Assistant Principal was walking around the restaurant. Nathan was not scared of Ronald(which kind of surprised me)they took a picture of him with Ronald and he kept looking at him like he was really trying to figure him out. He did good though and let them get a picture. They took Benchmark tests(state required tests)at school on Monday and Tuesday. Nathan could take his test orally he would give the answer to the teacher and she would fill in the little bubble. Last year he filled or tried to fill in the little bubble himself and it was not too successful so this year he had someone else do it. One of the teachers told me Tuesday that he did good. The weather is going to be gorgeous this weekend and looks like next week. I sent Nathan to school in shorts for the first time this year and put his shorts in the drawer and took out his long pants. So hopefully the warm weather is here to stay. I guess we will see if Donald goes to work on Monday. If the government closes then he will probably not go to work Monday. Pray that if it does close they get things straightened out soon and it will not be closed for long. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Happy April Fools Day

I am not sure if that is what you say about April Fools Day but it sounded good to me. I hope everyone had a good day. I had a good day. Donald was off so we went to breakfast then we went to Nathan's school for an awards assembly and Nathan got two awards and then we went to the Military Museum in Jacksonville and then went to lunch. So I had a very nice day. Nathan got two awards one for Citizenship and one for Perfect Attendance. They have increased the time in regular 1st grade class and Nathan has started going to the regular class for 4 hours a day. His teacher said he is doing real well. I am trying not to worry about what the next 9 weeks will bring about Nathan staying in 1st grade or moving on to 2nd grade. Well I guess that updates everyone. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
