so much goings on....

As my sis-in-law stated in her blog, where has April gone???  Seriously, it just came and went so quickly. We have been having some crazy Spring Colorado weather lately...one minute it will be sunny, warm, next it's raining, thundering, lightning, hailing....then it all goes to snow. Not to mention the occasional tornado warning. Mind you this is all happening in a span of 48 hrs. I told you it was crazy.

Crazy hailstorm, looks like snow

This happened shortly after i took the pictures of my tulips from the previous post, some of them were destroyed

Last week Paul was able to take Ian to work for "bring your kid to work day" sadly, for some reason, at the last minute they canceled it at Paul's facility, but they were able to go down the road to the other Lockheed facility. Ian was beyond excited...he woke up early, got dressed, brushed his teeth, hair...if only he would do this when we go to church.

My boys going off to work

Megan needing to get in the picture too

I was surprised that Megan didn't really put up a fuss, usually if brother does something she needs to do it too. But we stayed home and had a princess movie day.  I was really missing Ian, but soon noticed that 1. it was quiet 2. i wasn't disciplining anyone 3. Megan was really agreeable.  Don't get me wrong, the kids do love each other, but they are siblings and they do fight.

It was going great until the weather turned and we got a tornado warning for our area...i know that the likelihood of it hitting us would be small, but do i really want to take a chance with our precious cargo taking her nap upstairs...NOPE. and why do they always hit at nap time???  She was good with going down to the basement with the cat and mommy. In retrospect, nothing happened, so we could have just stayed put.

Next bit of fun stuff is Ian's kindergarten orientation. That was done this past Monday...we got to meet the teachers and support staff, principal and tour the school.  Apparently they are doing something different this year. All kindergarten students will be morning class, they will be using 3 different rooms, which will be segregated into subjects. so if they need to leave items relating to math out, they can.  and they will be separating the kids into levels of knowledge...if one kid knows all of their letters and can read they'll be with kids like him or her, or if they need a little more time on a subject they'll be with a different group...and it is dynamic. if all the sudden their needs change they change groups.  It seems more individualized. the teachers are totally happy about this.
Ian will have a week rotation of PE, Art and Music...20 minutes a day.  I think it's good that they will be well rounded. Ian is totally excited about going to school.
