Shh… Don't tell Audrey I was videoing this.

This kiddo's success at this was totally unexpected.  She is reading ( a little) but don't make a big deal out of it as it embarrasses her and she really has to be in that right mood to do it.  But sound things out she can.  She has never read what she is reading.  Not bad for a kiddo that knew 3 alphabet letters in September.

So Yeah...

Okay so I have not updated in some time and has nothing to do with lack of time.  I could use that as an excuse but it is simply motivation.  At the end of the day I just feel like doing nothing, staring at the tv or browsing the internet and frying my brain for awhile.  Likely that is adding to a repetitive cycle of lack of motivation and being eternally tired lately.   I am going to blame the rain.  It honestly has been raining her for a month.  Last week it literally poured every day and today it is doing it again.

We have been to Nashville and have had some fun times over the last few weeks.  But for now I leave you some photos taken by my children.  Maybe motivation will hit and I can chronicle our awesome Nashville trip.

Audrey's pretty leaf

I took this one of the scary cat

My tweenager.  Getting her out of the house in the mornings just about wears me out.  

I take comfort in the fact that her best buddy is giving her parents the same amount of trouble.

4 more weeks of school left!!! 2 Field trips, 1 day off,  and 3 half days thrown in there
