So this week's spelling pre-tests didn't go as I expected. The words themselves were a bit more challenging, (a list of 20 different homophones), and while Jay spelled them all correctly, he did mix up a few of the homophones.
And Shawn? Shawn politely told his teacher, "No thank you," and didn't even take the test. The teacher in me cringes a little at the thought of that, but at least he was polite about it I guess.
Lol.
There they go again. They never do what I expect them to do!

The boys have been fighting a head cold this week. It started with Jason, who yesterday remembered the friends he plays with at recess were sick after I had asked him several times. His symptoms have been his usual--nasal congestion and a cough. Shawn has been really cranky and has had a runny nose. Jack had a runny nose for a bit, but I think he's on the mend for the most part.
I'm impressed with us this year. So far the boys have been in school for 4 weeks, and we've only missed one day.

Jack has taken to getting into the fridge and helping himself to lemons. I'm not sure how to think about this development.
Plus, he's tall enough to reach the top shelf. How can that be?!

Plans for the weekend: Shawn wants to paint. Jason wants to play Wii. (I'm not sure where that came from because the Wii hasn't been used in ages.) Jack wants to play with Play-doh.
We're wild.

The boys brought home their school fundraiser packets. Jason has in his head that he is going to win every one of the prizes. I tried explaining that he's probably going to find it hard to sell 182 items. I'm not sure he thinks I'm serious. lol
