I hate it when people don't update their blogs regularly. Sorry I just have not had much to say. Nothing unusual has been going on here.
The kids got their report cards last week and everyone did good. E got all As and B got AB honor roll. They all had attendance awards (no sicknesses here YET). I had a conference with Ks teacher and she is doing great. She actually participates in everything--like the singing and dancing you do in kindergarten. I was worried that she would not join in. She even raises her hand and answers questions sometimes. She is not as shy as she is around me.
K has been worrying alot lately. Between fire prevention week (a family that both B and E have kids in their class lost their home in a fire that week), lock down drills, and my warnings about strangers she has started to worry too much. She has had nightmares a couple of times this past week. And a couple of days ago she would not go outside to play. She even cried because they watched a movie at school where someone got separated from their mother until the end of the movie--I don't know what it was but it was something with animals so it was just a regular kids movie not some kind of teaching thing. She is back to being afraid to be away from me if she is not at school. So the last few days she has added to the end of her nighttime prayers for God to "help her not think about bad things and not be scared". It is really kind of pitiful. Sometimes she breaks my heart. I hope that she gets over it soon.
We have also been having a bit of snake activity around the neighborhood and that is freaking me out. One neighbor told me yesterday that this is the time of year that they get very active and she said we have over 20 types of poison snakes in Texas. We have not seen any in our yard--please God keep it that way!-- but one neighbor shot one in his yard a few days ago--yes he SHOT it. Another neighbor killed a baby copperhead. And a couple have been killed on the road. I think another reason for all of the activity is all the construction going on around here right now. I hope our cat keeps away snakes!!!
Well today the kids actually want to go shopping so I should go get ready. E has discovered pokemon cards and needs a trip to Target to spend some of his money. B's ladies size 5 1/2 shoes turned out to be just a bit to SMALL and need to be returned also. We also plan to check out the christian book store where I think B is interested in some more purNRG music. I hope that by the end of the day I am not ready to dump them all out beside the road like I usually am when I have to take them all shopping! LOL I hope since they WANT to go this time it will be a better day!
Sorry if you have been checking in all week to find nothing! I will try to get better and post more often! Maybe I will even post some pictures soon.

Glad you are still around Stef!...I didn't know if you blew away with Texas tumbleweedes or what! LOL...yeah sometimes we all need a break from the computer. Our brain sometimes gets frazzeled. Awww...well at least K misses mommy! In kindergarten once...when i was little...my teacher told us that there was a rocket ship in the bathroom and that we were gonna get on it...and that we would leave our parents and not come back or something...and I believed it. I started crying hysterically because i didn't want to leave them! LOL Shucks i'm probably still like that lol...Well it's good K is not being as shy at school. This big world is a lot for a child to take in...all new to them and stuff...new experiences. Guess that's the way it is for grown ups too...but anyway shopping sounds fun when you can find nice things. Shopping with kids is probably an experience that will give you patience. LOL Don't like snakes...hmmm didn't know you had a cat. They are great at catching snakes...(and things u don't want them catching too) like our bird pals. LOL Ya'll have winter there? Guess not...shoo it's getting cold here...supposed to be in the 30's tonight! Brrrrr! Sorry for the run on sentences! Oooh shoe shopping...one of my faves!...B wears the same size as me. Some 5 and a halfs are too big on me! I love Christian book stores...cozy Christian hoodies...and Tees...great music, books and movies and inspiring stuff. I've heard of PurNRG but haven't listened to it. Is it a young teen band? There's another young group i saw on TBN that B might like too. I forgot their band name. It was kinda cool. Well hope your shopping trip went well! If not hope the next one is better! Well this blogger has got to get to bed soon...so ttyl...Nite'
A.K.
