The last two days I have been attending the boy’s parent-teacher conferences. I love getting to attend, and catch up with the teachers. The boys are doing very well too.

Dylan’s was first. His teacher is fantastic, and Dylan has learned so much from her. He had straight A’s, and he is doing amazing in Reading. He has read eighty books for Ready Set Read. He is definitely ready to go into the second grade.

Thade’s was last night. His teacher is amazing too. She has challenged Thade, and kept him working hard in the fourth grade. He also had straight A’s, and is off the charts in his reading. He even brought up his Math grade too, he is just awesome. Thade is ready for the fifth grade.

With Spring Break just around the corner, this school year has gone by fast. I’m so proud of my boys, and all that they have accomplished this year.

This week is a short week for the kiddos. They are out of school on Friday due to parent-teacher conferences. I look forward to parent-teacher conference week. I enjoy catching up with the boy’s teachers, and see what areas we need to work on too.

Monday it was Dylan’s conference. I had all three kids tagging along too, but that meant we could stop off at the fantastic school playground. Dylan’s teacher is so kind, and Dylan is doing very well in the First grade. His reading in greatly improving, and he is in the highest reading small group. I’m so proud of my little guy.

Tuesday it was Thade’s turn. This time James was off work, so the kiddos could stay home with Dad. Thade’s teacher, and student-teacher are so fantastic. He is excelling at math, and reading too. I am so proud of my big kid.

Both boys received all A’s, and kind compliments from their teachers too. I’m so proud of my big kids.

The kids were up bright and early today. They were ready to go to their first day of school. Agnes was pretty excited too. I hope everyone has a great day at school!

There are just four more days left to Summer vacation, and my oldest isn’t too happy about it. Thade will be entering the fourth grade, and Dylan will be heading to the first grade. Thade isn’t in too big of a rush to go back, but Dylan is pretty excited about it.

I’m not quite ready for the early mornings… I’ve become  used to relaxed lazy Summer mornings. Agnes has been waking up extra early, so maybe she is ready.

We went back to school shopping on Friday. The boys have new backpacks, and lunch-boxes too. Agnes even talked Dad into getting her a new backpack and lunch-box too. All of the school supplies are purchased too. I need to make another run to the store and pick-up lunch supplies for the boy’s lunches.

This week is going to be a bit bittersweet. I’m looking forward to days that are a bit more quiet, but I miss my boys when they are at school too.

We’ll see how this week goes…
