School-aged Check-in (11/1)

Damn, enchanted! I'm sorry to hear about his injury. That's awful! I hope he's doing better now.

J is 4.5 (officially 4.5 next Sunday)

She's busy as can be. She decided she wants to continue dance classes, which is great, but she also needs to take swim lessons. I work weekends from January through mid-April (tax accountant over here), so I'm trying to figure out how this is going to work. Ugh.

Otherwise, school is going well. Her pre-K class went to a local senior center yesterday and put on a Halloween fashion show for the seniors. Then, they did crafts and ToT in the center. It was really cute

QOTW: She was the apple blossom Shop.kins character. I hated - HATED - the idea, but she's a kid and gets to choose her costume. Plus, it's really just a glorified princess dress. Whatever, she was adorable and so very happy. She has a TON of candy, including 3 full-size bars from our neighbor! Regarding the candy tax, she willingly shares with us LOL She gives all her Reese's to me and all her Butterfingers to MH because she knows they're our favorites. She'd rather have the fruity candy anyway.

Don't apologize! I thought about posting but figured we could all use a week off every once in a while. I'm sorry your little guy got hurt!

DS1 (6) is doing much better. No headaches since he started the new medicine, and he's the only one of us who is actually not sick right now (a minor miracle). SOCCER IS OVER!!!! so we've started our hibernation season, and he's started riding the bus instead of being picked up. It's been a nice slow down.

QOTW: He was Buzz Lightyear, and DS2 was Woody. They got tons of candy ToTing on base Friday night which worked out well since we felt crappy and didn't want to go to town last night. Instead we had a candy hunt (like an Easter egg hunt) in the house. We put all the candy in a giant mixing bowl to share. They get a couple of pieces a day, and I'll send the rest to work with H when the novelty wears off and they forget about it (usually about a week).
