Busy, busy days

I decided to start this blog because there is just so much going on!  For starters it's T1's first week of college!  She decided a couple weeks ago that she didn't want to go the the college that she had originally applied for, been accepted to and attended orientation for.  So she decided to go through with the great last minute college switch.  It's all working out for the best though.  It's a smaller school, more personalized, she just fits in better.  This semester she is taking Chemistry, Botany (and labs for both), English and Christian Worldview.  She is also required to attend Chapel on Mon, Wed and Fri and either Chapel or her own Church on Sun.  I've hardly seen her the last couple weeks as she switched everything, attended orientation and is now attending classes.

This is T2's last year in middle school, next year she will be moving to the high school!  She is cheer captain this year and as captain she has to call the cheers!  She and the co-captain go through the cheer once, then the rest of the squad joins in.  She's been really nervous and it's been hot out.  The second game was Monday, the 1st home game!  The beginning of the 4th quarter, she got a little lazy (it was VERY hot) and her southern drawl came out a bit and she says as she was calling the cheer which was supposed to go "six, six, we want six", well, she said something totally different and inappropriately replaced the word six, drawing out the i.  I didn't pick up on it, and tried to reassure her, but she thought she was in big trouble.  The coach didn't say anything, so hopefully no one but her and a couple in the squad noticed : )  During the same game the girl singing the National Anthem forgot the words, paused in the middle of the song, said "oh crap" over the intercom, before finishing the song!  I told T2 if anyone said anything about her "mispronunciation" then to tell them at least she didn't say "oh crap" in the middle of the Nat'l Anthem!!!!

K seems to like her teachers this year.  This is the first year she has been without recess and also the first year she has switched classes.  She has 4 different teachers.  She will also be playing flute in the beginning band which she is VERY excited about!

J has been in Mother's Day Out for a few hours a week the last couple weeks.  He has adjusted well considering he has never had a babysitter out side of the family, maybe to well?  I think I could have left him in a room of aliens and as long as they didn't make strange noises he wouldn't care.  The only problem is he won't eat - anything!  Not even gummy snacks which are his favorite!  IDK how to help him since I have to feed him at home.  I just hope he figures out the eating thing before he starts "real" school.
