Quiet Times

Not much is going on here this week, Ashlyn is done with soccer and Ryan doesn't play again until Saturday so it's a week off for us. Nice and quiet around here but it really is just the calm before the storm. It is only 16 days until Thanksgiving (which is the BIG holiday in our family) all my brothers & my sister come in for this and we all spend the week together. It is alot of chaos and craziness but it really is fun all being together again like that. I really am ready for the break too. Just have to "Christmas" shop and help clean mom's house before they all get here.

Other than that, kids got their report cards this week. Ashlyn is doing awesome, I am so proud of her if only she can learn to keep her mouth shut in class. Although once again this poor kid was already getting way too much homework in my opinion and now that it is the 2nd nine weeks they decided to give her more. She cried today when I told her she would now have to add writing sentences to her spelling work for the week. But she is a trooper and did it like a good girl. Ryan's report card was decent. he passed everything but not really up to Ryan standards, but this was really expected because of the problems he was having late in the semester. I am still proud of him, it is hard adjusting to a new school and more responsibility.
