My Monkey's

Yesterday, Ana & Liam had their last Gymnastics class for this season.  Ana is a natural !  Liam would do better in a class with out any other boys.  His need to be social gets in his way of paying attention.   When he's on task he does really well....the problem is it's really hard for him to stay focus in the early evening with his buddies around.  Ana was really pleased to receive full marks this term and will be moving up a level next Fall.  Liam & I are still discussing whether or not he'll sign up again this Fall.  We may wait another year so he'll be in a different time slot.

Our Thursdays.......

( Story time with Ms. Roberta at our local library)

( Liam loves using the computer at the library)

( we check the mail.....no parcel's today ! )

( It's raining again......this wood REALLY  needs to be stacked ! )

( My favorite rainy day lunch - Tomato soup & grilled cheese )
