Since the kids have been in school for over five weeks and mid-terms were posted last week, I think it's about time for me to get the first day of school pictures loaded!
Here are a few things that have changed in our home since August 12th, the first day of school:
It's a 5:55 a.m. rise & shine for the girls now rather than the summer 11:00 a.m. wake up (6:15 a.m. for mom)
The big, yellow "monster" whisks them away each weekday at 6:47 a.m.
Leighton's wake up call is 7:45"ish" with bus pick up at 8:38 a.m.
Leighton and I get to enjoy breakfast together every weekday morning
Spanish is being heard/practiced daily in our home
Not one but two two flutists in the family now with 150 mins. practice for each girl-weekly
Six hours a week of practicing football
Four and 1/2 hours of soccer practice a week for Olivia
One and 1/2 hours of soccer practice a week for Alex
Much of Saturdays and occasionally Sundays are spent at kids' sporting events
Homework overload for Alexandra (average 2.5 hrs. nightly)
Evening dinners at 8:30 p.m. when football practice runs late!
Trying to get the kids in bed by 10:00 p.m. - crazy, but true! rarely happening for Olivia
Still lovin' life and thankful for each and every day!
With all the above going on and this as your grading scale:
| A+ | 100 |
| A | 95 - 99 |
| A- | 93 - 94 |
| B+ | 91 - 92 |
| B | 87 - 90 |
| B- | 85 - 86 |
| C+ | 83 - 84 |
| C | 76 - 82 |

| D+ | 72 - 73 |
| D | 67 - 71 |

| F | 64 and below |
As of mid-terms, between the three kids, they had:
2 ~ A+'s
8 ~ A's
6 ~ A-'s
1 ~ B+
I'd say they're off to a GREAT start!! Keep up the excellent work!!
