Day Fourteen!

Today has been a good day! It's Friday! How could it not be good? The girl's got ready easily this morning, we took our pics and they even got to school early! I also got a great workout this morning! Mrs. G called me to find out when to meet us for Maddy's ear piercing tomorrow (if she earned it)! Right before I went to get the girls I got an email from Mrs.S that Maddy had a fabulous day and earned her reward which was visiting Mrs.G! If she meets all of her goals for the day she gets a reward. Maddy chose her rewards and she chose visiting with Mrs. G as her first one! Mrs. S was even sweet enough to send me a picture! Brinley and Gibby had a great day too! We have a busy weekend ahead! We'll being getting Maddy's ears pierced tomorrow! Brinley has a slumber party to go to tomorrow night and a skating party on Sunday! Then we have girl scouts Sunday evening! I'm looking forward to it all and I'm so relieved that Maddy had a good week!

Here are our pic's from this morning!:)





Maddy's Reward Picture! :)

Day Thirteen!

I am so tired today. It may have something to do with having yet another migraine last night and not getting much sleep! This morning was good. The girls got it together quickly because they were promised a peek at the trap that was set up last night to catch the bobcat! No bobcat yet! We'll see if we catch him tonight! We did our usual pictures and Gibby was upset that she didn't get to be in the middle!( You can tell from the picture!) When I dropped the girls off Maddy asked if I would come for lunch and I promised that I would since she's had such a great week! I went to their school and sat with Gibby and Maddy for lunch. A this point Maddy was having another good day! They kissed me and then went to recess! I decided since I was already there I'd wait for Brinley and sit with her for lunch too! She was surprised and happy to see me there! Gotta take advantage of them wanting me around while it lasts! Then I went to set up for book fair! It's amazing what a bunch of women can do in only 2 hours! After that it was time to pick up the kiddos and Maddy looked sad. She started crying and siad that she got in trouble in the afternoon.
I told her that it was okay and that even though I was disappointed about today I was still very proud of the past few days! She is making an apology note for her teacher now. Hopefully she has a better day tomorrow!

Here are our pics from this morning! :)

Day Twelve!

We woke up to sirens and heavy rain this morning! It looked like there was an accident on the tollway service road. I prayed that all involved were okay. The girls were tired this and I think that they're really getting tired of the picture everyday routine! They're just gonna have to deal! :)

I worked on book fair again today and was stopped by the principle, asst principle, counselor and Maddy's teacher through out the day! They are amazed at how great she is doing. ( We've promised to get her ears pierced if she does well at school every day this week!) So far it's working! Now I just have to come up with a plan for next week! :P

Here are this mornings pics! :) (Binley is sooo over it!)

Day Eleven!

Today was a great day! Girls woke up Happy! Maddy did great at school! I worked on PTA book fair decorations at the school all day! It's been raining but with the rain comes cooler temps and Fall feeling weather! I love it!

Here are this mornings pics!





This is what was in our yard yesterday morning!!!! Scary!

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!
