Day 10!

We made it through the first 2 weeks of school! Hallelujah! :) I went and had lunch with my sweet sister and my mom today! It was so nice to just sit and chat with them without constant interruption from the girls.

The girls all had a great day at school! Maddy even got a smiley face! Gotta love that. We are looking forward to the 3 day weekend! Hopefully we will get lots of pics! I have great plans for sewing the girls outfits for their upcoming pictures next week so stay tuned to see what I come up with!

Here are our pics from this morning! :)

Day Nine!

This morning was not fun! I stayed up late doing defensive driving!(That's another story!) Anyway I wasn't in bed until 12:30 a.m.A little while after that I felt sick and didn't really go to sleep until between 4 and 5! :( Needless to say I was a pretty useless Mommy this morning! It took forever to get ready and then we were late to school. I knew that this would be bad because I had to walk them in and Maddy doesn't do well when that happens. I had to leave her crying again. This time it took awhile for her to calm. She is getting attached to the school counselor. (Thanks Mrs.G) So she decided to take her to the assistant principle to get her back into class and she was not having that. She yelled at her , told her that she wasn't her boss and threw her ring at her! (Sorry Mrs.B)When this happened Mrs.B just let her have her fit and calm herself down. Then she was able to go back to class.

I had promised to bring Maddy lunch but when I arrived I was told about the morning and we decided that it would be better if she didn't see me. :( (Sorry Gibby. I promise that we will have lunch soon!) Today was also meeting day. I came back to the school and got to sit down with the principle Mrs.G, the assistant principle Mrs.B, the counselor Mrs.G and Maddy's teacher Mrs.S. Let me tell you they are a phenomenal group of women! They are all very understanding and are more than happy to help get Maddy the help she needs! We have come up with a plan to help her stay on task and she will be doing some testing for behavioral and learning issues. I was assured that they have had kids like Maddy and once the problem is solved and we are implementing the plan she will be fine! Thanks God! So I am emotionally and physically tired tonight! I'm going to feed the girls and get us to bed! Did I mention that Aaron is at a football game! (Have fun honey!)

Here are our pics from this morning! :)

Day Eight!

So yesterday didn't finish as great as I thought! Maddy had a great morning but had a major meltdown in music and was very unkind to her music teacher. (We are very sorry Ms. J.) Anyways , when I picked up the girls I was met at the car by her teacher and she scheduled a conference for tomorrow! She then assured me that this is all very normal. I am sure that every teacher has at least one difficult student every year! However it still isn't fun when that kid belongs to you! When we arrived at home Maddy was not able to choose a cartoon and was not allowed to have the candy she was promised for a good day! She was then punished with some alone time when Aaron got home! After we put the kiddo's to bed I was packing up the school bags for today and noticed that on Maddy's behavior calendar that she changed her sad face from yesterday to a happy face and gave herself happy faces for the rest of the month. It's already starting! At this point all I could do was laugh because I sure didn't feel like crying! By the way the other girls had another great day and Brinley really LOVES science and went into great detail telling us about the experiment they had done at school!

So needless to say I was worried about today! They had another good morning! They got dressed and ate breakfast. Then we did our pics and went to school! I then went to Canton with Liz to help set up the Thirty-One booth. I'm supposed to be helping her tomorrow but it looks like I'll be meeting with Maddy's teacher instead! :( When we got back to Frisco the sky was black and it started raining just as I was picking up the girls! For some reason this morning they insisted on taking their umbrellas! I guess they knew something that I didn't! They hoped in the car and I was relieved to hear that the all had a great day at school! Yay!

Here are our pics from this morning!

Day Seven!

Last night was great! Maddy had a great day. We went grocery shopping as a family, came home to eat Pei Wei (YUM!) and then the girls were sleeping by 8:30!

This morning the girls were very happy! Aaron had made a deal with Maddy, if she gets a smiley face everyday she gets to buy a new Liv doll this weekend! Fingers crossed that this works! She's super excited! They all picked out their clothes and got dressed. Then they had breakfast and we took our pictures! They were all in silly moods and Maddy and Gibby decided that they needed props!

Here are this morning pics! :)

Day Six!

So today was the first day of the second week of school! It didn't start out so great! We had Brinley's slumber party on Saturday night and it completely wiped us out! Needless to say we were all still tired this morning. Brinley was having melt down after meltdown and didn't want to do pictures! We did them any way hence the crying face and angry face Brin has in her pics!

When we got to school we were running late and had to wait in the long drop off line! Maddy was standing and I took of to move and she fell in the car. So I ended up walking her to the door! Luckily Gabby was there and offered to walk her in! Maddy was really happy with that!

When I picked them up today they were all happy and had a great day at school! Maddy even got a smiley face! They were all super excited that I let them buy their lunch today and told me in detail what they chose!

Here are the pics from this morning! :)
