November already

We had Ian's parent/teacher conference yesterday and it went great! Mrs. Harris had lots of good things to say about him and he is progressing very well. He also saved up 100 tickets and received a free skate pass to Jellybeans! That was his goal from day 1 of 1st grade was to be the first in his class to get that prize. Earning tickets is part of the positive behavior system, so good work kiddo!

Gavin loves his pre-school. He is always so eager to get there and he has a big smile on his face when I pick him up. He admires Miss Cindy and Miss Susie. Yesterday one of his teachers asked me if Cailean has a bow and arrow. I said, "Yes" and I was thinking, "Uh oh...what did he tell his class?" Well a kid in his class told Gavin that his dad hunts deer and Gavin told him that his dad hunts deer with a bow and arrow. So, probably not your typical pre-school conversation, but an interesting one to say the least. LOL

We're at a lull this week with not much going on with the kids. Soccer ended. The Halloween/fall festivities ended. No meetings this week. I have the basketball coach's meeting in 2 weeks and then practice starts after Thanksgiving.

So yes, I joined Facebook last week and it has been very interesting. I have fought it for quite awhile. Just didn't want to get into it for various reasons. But, I did and it has been great. I have reconnected with many age group swim team friends and college swim team friends from my four years at St. Mike's. Turns out one is actually 30 seconds from my mom down here, so we saw each other for a few minutes on Sunday...first time in over 15 years!! I've also been able to read up on people I went to school with in Northfield.

Off to take Gavin to the babysitter and then to work. We're awaiting the arrival of Cailean's parents this afternoon, too.
