Happy Halloween - Boo to You!

What does a China Girl, a Witch, a Big Little Blue Bear, a crazy giraffe dude, and a star-wars queen/dude/thing gone wrong have to do with the Jenkins home - Yes your right Halloween once again at the Jenkins. Brooke's teacher is 7 1/2 month along - don't you love the costume her husband painted for her. Every year I'm looking for a warm costume for my little ones. For Will I finally found a real warm one - and what happens......We have the warmest Halloween on record. We passed out a ton of candy and our kids brought a ton home. I've been looking for all the good stuff like DOTS, Nerds, Bottle Caps, Butterfingers, and Snickers. I've found a few and my crazy kids have been good to share. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday - We did.

Back to School - Today!

Oh my joy is full! August 20th is back to school for the Jenkins kids. This takes me from five kids at home to

one - maybe two when Alan is home. It was like a movie, with emotional music playing in the background as Will and I waved goodbye to the kids, watching them ride off. I asked Will if he was going to be my new boyfriend, he said no, that if he was my boyfriend Dad would feel bad, but I can still kiss him. Oh lucky day!

Fish aren't the only ones that SWIM!

Today was the last of our swimming lessons! Brooke and Grant did so well, and had a wonderful time. Ali got the hang of it and decided that the water could be her friend. Will or Fearless Will as we will call him - took to the water like a fish. I got a real kick out of watching all the kids - esp. that little motor man. All you could see is our 4 yr old wonder under the water motoring around. School starts in less than a week. YEA!

I Have AWSOME Kids!

This has been a wonderful Month!

Luke has straight A's again, plus was honored with the student of the month at his Jr. high school. The teacher that nominated him said that Luke has done a great job this year. He is always very respectful in class.

Grant made it! He as earned Honor Roll for the 5Th grade. This honor comes with a night out with his parents, a BBQ, and a kick ball game - teachers & parents vs. the 5Th grade honor roll kids. I hope we will. Grant has become such a good reader and student.

Brooke was honored with the Hobble Creek Elementary Student of the month. She has her picture up at Reams our local grocery store, she got a money card, and a certificate. She also took 2ND place in the 50 at her track meet. I think she gets her speed running away from all those boys. She always does well in school, I love her.

Ali is our crazy Ali. She got a 100% on her spelling test. All five words were perfect, yes, look - think - went - put and now. If you need a first grade proofer give me a call.

Will he will graduate from his small world preschool today. You got to love it.
