That's how this year is going for me. Just moving right along. The first two months of school have been great. Tanner was A/B Honor Roll, and Grace was A Honor Roll for the first six weeks. Tanner was voted by his peers to represent his third grade class in Student Council. He is very excited and I'm so happy for him!
Baseball is almost over - only one more game. I'm ready. This season has been a real struggle. Tanner is a little behind the learning curve on the new rules this year and is not hitting the ball like he did last year. Mainly because he is not swinging the bat. Hard to hit it if you don't swing, huh? I think he's just nervous. This is the first season for kid pitch and let's face it. Some kids throw some wild pitches, and some batters get hit by balls. Tanner's always nervous about new things. I hope he gets over it by spring or it's going to be a miserable season then too.
Grace is doing very well. This has been a very frustrating season for us because her coaching situation is less than desireable, but her team is very young and she's one of the best players on the team. Unlike last season where "baseball is boring" because she spent the whole season in the outfield, now her main positions are short stop and second base. Baseball is definately fun for her now and she is excited to play.
In order to remedy the frustration on our part CJ will likely coach both teams in the spring. Say a little prayer for us because it will be CRAZY, but we will be happier being in charge :0)

We bought season passes to Six Flags this year and the kids are loving it!! We've been 5 times so far and intend to go back for Holiday in the park in December. Yesterday Morgan was standing behind me and just out of the blue he says "More Fun, More Flags, Six Flags!" hahahaha Tanner is starting to get a little braver - two weeks ago he finaly rode the Shock Wave (which has two upside down loops in it) I think uder peer pressure because he couldn't stand that Grace loves it so much. Whatever works, right? Morgan does really well too. He walks the whole time we're there and will ride anything he's tall enough for. It's been so much fun. We always go with our friends and it's pretty cheap considering we're a family of 5. There's not too may places we can go and have fun ALL DAY for $60. Heck, we spend $60 to go out to eat!
Grace had to decorate a pumpkin for school this week. It was fun. She kept saying, "my friend Jacey hopes I get first place and she gets second place. And I hope I get first place and I hope she gets first place and I don't know what to do." I assured her it was OK for her to hope that she gets first place. :0) We'll see at the end of the week if she places.
