When school started, Jordyn was asked to be in a little play group with some other 5 year old girls in our ward. We were both thrilled!! Jordyn loves to play with her friends, and she goes crazy when she's here alone with me in the afternoons. In our old neighborhood she didn't really have any friends to play with, so this is great! It was our turn today, and the question was, what to do? We have very carefully avoided play doh in our house for the past 16 years or so. I'm not sure the boys have ever even played with it, ever. The main reason was that we had carpet under our dining table in our last house. Ever try to get playdoh out of carpet? Yeah, not so fun. Well, Jordyn pointed out to me that we have a wooden floor now, so we can have playdoh, right? Ok, I took a deep breath and took the plunge. Now I remember why I never buy playdoh. Actually it wasn't bad, despite what the pictures show. The girls had a ball. They played and giggled with playdoh for 2 whole hours!! We cleaned up what we could, then I swept the floor and table and ta-da! We were done! So, how do I top this for next month?
Yay!! Everyone is finally in school!! Ammon and Matthew started last Tuesday at their new schools. Ammon is in 9th grade at Mapleton Jr. High, and Matt is in 6th grade at Mapleton Elementary. It was a big change for both of them. Ammon had a rough couple of days, but he seems to be adjusting and doing better. Matthew has been great. Of course, school is boring and stupid, but I can hardly expect 12 and 14 year old boys to be excited about it.
Jayme started on Wednesday and is carrying quite a load this semester. She has 23 more credits to graduate after this semester, so she is working hard to get done. You go girl!! Jenn and Adam started on Monday and are both working hard. It's so great to see my 'adult children' progressing toward their goals and doing well in school.
Jordyn, the most excited of all, was the last to start school. She finally got to go to kindergarten yesterday!! She was so excited, here she is at the door, ready to go!
Of course, we got to the bus stop early, and Matthew was a little horrified that she was so excited. Here she is waiting for the bus.
Here she is getting off the bus, look how happy she is. She had a great day, it was a "piece of cake"! She loves her teacher, and is making new friends!!
