So much has been going on in the last couple of days so I have some catching up to do ;)
Two days ago, the boys took the MAPS Test at Gateway and we went in feeling very confident on where they are academically :) well, this mommy who was not looking at the test results the right way thought both my dumplings failed miserably. Luckily Mrs. Owen calmed me down and told me the front graph was showing an older grade and that I need to look at the numbers instead! Lucky for that one!!!! Both my dumplings are were they are suppose to be and Connor even jumped a couple of grades in reading .... Happily shocked at this one ;)
After the test I decided to take Connor home as a day at Cottage plus the testing would be way to hard for him. I decided to leave Alexander in school as he had running practice after school as well. Now the second call was a huge mistake as I found out later!!! I should have taken Alexander home as well as my youngest dumpling decided to act out in every form possible. He kept our lovely Mrs. Struble on her toes all day and not in a good way. Alexander loves Cottage School and therefor his punishment is him having to stay away for a while. Since he was right on track but not as strong in his testing numbers as Connor this will benefit me so I can put more time in with him at home. So win win for me ;) Connor is thrilled of course as he has been begging me to stay home and has said the stress of our full schedule each week was just to much. So now we will stay home bound for a few weeks and see what progress we make.
The good part about yesterday was the wonderful experience Connor and I had looking at the Paintings at Park State Trust Bank in WP. Connor and I were thrilled to get a private tour with the owner and the education was amazing! Connor loved the Mattise, Picasso and the one painting from a local boy here on WP. It showed me it is time to pick up the pace and start touring Art Museums.
Now as for me ... Can you imagine the look on my face when I went in for my teeth cleaning to hear that possibly my whole tooth ache problem was not caused by my lovely tooth or gums but from my sinus issues???? All this do a cold or allergy. Darn ;)
So I told You so nicely that we will hunker down at home for a while but that won't start until Tuesday next week because today we are on our way to Alaska. We just arrived at DFW after some nervous minutes watching Frontier Passengers trying to scramble on our AA flight due to their Frontier Flight canceling. Luckily we are tough Nonrev Warriors and we did make it out, even in style up front ;)
The good news is the flight up north is wide open but the flight back is red. So we see how much time we get to spend in beautiful ANC.
Hugs,
And no pictures today as I am typing this on my lovely phone :)
