Hollie ~ Hollace has been house and puppy dog sitting for nana. Going on second week now. I call or drop by to make sure everything is in order and see her from time to time. House clean orderly and she seems to have a little routine set up. It is neat to get a glimpse into how she would keep her own house and what she would do with all her free time. She had lexa over for a night, they stayed up reading stories Lexa wrote, watching movies, and eating. I would consider Lexa Hollie's best friend. Hollie has the gold car and is loving her freedom right now. I asked her if she was home sick yet and she said nope, sorry mom I am fine. I love her honesty and agree that she has never been the one to be homesick. She loves being on her own and making her own rules-unlimited tv, no one nagging at her, read as much as she wants. Yep I would like a day like that too. She says she is doing great in school :)
Lauren~ Lauren decided about 1.5 weeks ago that she would go out for cheer. I was surprised when she brought me a completed permission form to sign. I of course have enabled the kids by always doing their forms. She was beaming all week as she worked hard to learn the routines. She made two friends on the Cheer team, Ashley and Mackenna (she refers to as good Kenna since she has a classmate that is a bully also named Mackenna). They both would help Lauren after school learn the routines and cheers. Kenzie also helped Lauren with make up hair and attitude. Lauren showed no anxiety until the night before the try out. She did not make the team, she was angry and hurt at first. She processed quickly and by evening was pointing out where she could have improved. She has yet to make a plan for next years try outs. We celebrated how hard she worked and how positive she was through out the try outs with Minchie's ice cream this is a frozen yogurt place and pizza for dinner. Hollie came home and we all watched Wreck it Ralph-terrible movie do not watch!
Nathan~ Nate has been a very busy boy. I loved tonight walking in the door from work and hear "momma!" then went a mile a minute about his trains. Dad took him and sissy to the zoo. Nate learned to say "Fox" but it sounds very close to another four letter swear word I dare not repeat. Clever boy that he is while I am putting him down for the night he says baby to get me to sing our "Baby Mine" song from Beaches the movie. He will tell me the order he wants all of his songs. I got to walk and sing to him. He lays his head on my shoulder and I just stroke his hair and sing. Love these moments and now I know how fast they go.
