The last few weeks!

I am way behind on blogging.  Life has been busy.  I am 31 weeks pregnant and failed my 1 hour glucose test a couple weeks ago.  Had to take the 3 hour, but passed!  Woohoo!  Found out I'm anemic which explains why I have been SOOOO tired and have had a few dizzy spells.  So more iron for me.  Bleh...

This boy turned four on September 26th.  He is all about Batman (and Spiderman) these days, so that's what he chose for his birthday shirt:)  

He got a Spiderman mask and web shooter for his birthday.  He loves it!

Jaron's new Trio blocks set.  We love Trio blocks around here!  So much creativity.  He is making more and more complex robots and vehicles.  Love it!  Here is Addison posing with it:)

Working on fractions (and real life), we made muffins!  Addison poured the milk and Jaron did some mixing.

Jaron working on bars at gymnastics.

Horrible picture, but here he is at dance class:)

And Addison with the geoboard.  She loves it!

Jaron showing off his cutting activity.  He is getting very good and often asks for any project that has cutting. And yes, he is not dressed for the day yet.  Don't judge.  Homeschooling can happen in underwear too.  Ha!   For those that are curious, Jaron uses a restaurant highchair (with the front bar removed) for school.  It puts him at the perfect height for writing, etc.  This prevents me from having to sit at the kids' little table and Jaron doesn't learn strange habits for writing because his posture isn't right.  I can give you an earful on proper sitting, etc. for writing!

Thanks to Pinterest, the kids have brand new cups that live on the fridge.  Kroger had these on sale so the kids got to pick their own.  I added 2 magnets to the back of each and they can now get water from the fridge, drink and put them back.  No cups sitting on the counter or kitchen table and they always know which cup belongs to them.  They love the independence too:)

This post has been heavy on Jaron, but Addison has been hard at work too.  She is supposed to be in Kindergarten, but we are working on 1st grade this year.  She just passed the midway point in her math and reading for the year.  Yikes!  We have started working on different types of writing.  A couple of weeks ago, she wrote a letter using all 5 parts of the letter.  She has also written a personal narrative.  This was her report on peacocks.  She got to choose the animal and then we did some on-line research to include several facts.  She was very proud!  This one is on the fridge:)

Just a fun picture of my girl:)

I'm not a big fan of pictures of myself, but here is Jaron "snuggling" the new baby.  They both love to come give him kisses and feel him kick!
