Art and Reports

Here is Callum's art from the Midsouth Fair:



He and Isabelle also got their report cards today. Both did great. Callum got on the Honor Roll (meaning he got mostly A's and E's [Excellent], with a couple of S's [Satisfactory]) also got a Math award for averaging 100% over the past 6 weeks (which, if I can do my math, means he got everything right!) Belle had almost all 3's - meaning she has mastered the skill, with a couple of 2's.

Good job guys - we are so proud of you.

Lexie didn't get a report card, but she is getting used to school, and doesn't cry all morning now.

And the poll says...

...update more frequently!!!

A full 100% of respondents think I should post more. All three of them. So, for them, here is another post. Enjoy.

PS - who was number 3?

Cub Scout

Callum joined the Cub Scouts this year. This is him in his uniform for the first time. Was there this much sewing when I was a cub? Thanks, Mum! It's amazing how you only realize these things later! Our first camping trip is at the end of October. One parent (i.e. me) has to go with him. Camping at the end of October... glad we are not in England!

No Prizes :-(

We went to the Fair this weekend, and saw Callum's picture. It looked great, but did not have a ribbon on it. There were maybe 100 pictures from each grade. He was disappointed, but OK with it. We went and won four goldfish instead.

Pennie also had LASIK on Friday, and can now see without glasses! The sleeping pills knocked her out a bit and she slept a lot, but thats what they wanted.

Seems 100% of people want me to update more frequently so far too, according to my poll! Yup - that's both me and the other person who voted... thanks Mum :-)

Callum Enters Art Contest

Just had a very excited phone call from Callum. Last week, he submitted a picture to his school for entry into the Mid-South Fair art contest. The school picks two pieces of art from each grade to submit to the competition itself. And Callum's was one of the two second grade pictures chosen!!! We are not sure when he will find out if or where he places overall, but even getting chosen is very exciting! Good job Callum!!

His picture was of a chimera fighting a fire breathing dragon. Very Callum! He had a detailed background of trees (one with a branch on fire because of the dragon) and dancing stars. I'll try to scan it when we get it back, but I might have to do it in sections, and piece it back together...

A bit late - but this was the first day

This was Isabelle on her first day. She is now well into week two, and still getting gold stars for her good behavio(u)r. How different siblings can be!



This is Lexie the next day. There, behind the back pack. See her now?


And another of Lexie, with Maggie. Note, this was actually taken a few days before the previous "haircut" post.

Maggie

She's like a dog, only smaller! And yeah - the book is really working - NOT! This is a rare picture of me. Don't expect many more.
