Puppy Love
According to her papers, Roxy's birthday is October 26th, LOL, I still can't get away from the fall/winter birthdays.
For such an energetic dog she sure imitates a rug well!

Report Cards and Grades, oh my
I don't have a WiP post for this week. Haven't been cross-stitching and decided not to continue with the revision updates, ain't y'all lucky? The revisions are going better since I took the pressure off myself of the weekly update, go figure.
So I'll plug in a little family update instead.
Report cards came in for Alex and Ian. Both are doing well.
Alex is a strong A-B student, once again on A-B honor roll for the year. He received A's in Math (very much his strongest subject), Writing, and Social Studies. The B's were in Science and Reading.
Ian received A's in Math, Science, and Social Studies; a B in Writing; and a C in Reading. His writing has improved so much over the course of the year! He still holds his pencil weird but his control, therefore his legibility, is 100% better than the start of the year. Reading continues to be a struggle. He's receiving an extra half hour of intervention a day. For me the joy is in watching him actually pull a book out and curl up in bed to read it. So while he still struggles he seems to be developing a joy in reading and that is more important to me than a score on a test!
Grades for the third quarter are in for Cam.
It's no surprise that he received A's in Science and English. He has found a new love in science this year after a skill test said he'd be good at astronomy. I guess the Rocket Burger dream finally bit the dust. He received B's in everything else: Band, Reading, Math, and Computer.
He is now in a situation of having to select his electives for next year and is torn. He's been surprised at enjoying band yet it is far from his first love. His band teacher has recommended him to move up to the intermediate band, which is great because it means he's mastered the beginning band skills. We agreed he would apply for publications (working on the yearbook/newspaper) as a first choice, band second, and in a surprise move he selected working in the cafeteria third.
And not to be left out -- I've filled out the registration for Robbie to start kindergarten in the fall. Oh where, oh where has the time gone?

Alex is an amazing student; he excels in science knowledge and multiplication facts. He has incredible illustrations to go along with his stories and books.

Ian is a delightful little boy. I am very proud of Ian. He continues to blossom.

A Birthday in Pictures
I haven't done any cross-stitching thus no work-in-progress Wednesday post rather a birthday celebration.
With everyone but Mark off on Monday we went to the park. It was a short stay as the boys complained about the heat -- I think we hit 75. I'll duck and run while all you folks on the frozen tundra throw things.

The fact Ian is climbing this rock formation is impressive,
it's taller than me so maybe five and half feet at the highest point,
because he's always been afraid of heights.
This one on the other hand loves heights and swings
and all types of rough-n-tumble activities.
These two make a competition out of everything.
I think Cam won the "who can swing the highest."
Mister 5 year-old!

Fun Facts
Well, hello 2011
As per our New Year's tradition, we lined the boys up and measured them.
Cam grew a massive two inches in 2010. Poor kid is hanging all his hopes of height on 'late blooming' and swears he's going to shoot up in his late teens to be the tallest of the boys. Keep hoping kiddo.
Cam's waiting for the day he's taller than me but I still have seven inches on him, LOL
Alex grew two and a quarter inches, and at age 9 is the same height Cam was at age 10. Currently, Alex is five inches shorter than Cam.
Ian grew an even two inches, and at age 7 is the same height at Cam was at age 7. Only six inches between Ian and Alex right now.
Robbie grew only one and three-quarter inches. He's almost 5 so I'll use that age. He's about half an inch taller than Ian and Cam at age 5, about three-quarters of an inch shorter than Alex at age 5, and currently sits at four inches shorter than Ian.
Dang, but they grow fast!!

Robbie the Grinch
LOL, he found some pennant sleeves. Can't say he doesn't have an imagination.
To me, he looked like a vet with that plastic going way past his shoulders. Robbie thinks we need to paint the sleeves green for a more Grinchy look! He went on to put a set of sleeves on his feet/legs.

My Ghouls
Today, Nevada is observing Nevada Day, aka no school. What kid wouldn't love to have a guaranteed three-day weekend for Halloween? LOL, too bad for my kids this is a bah-humbug holiday for me. The school has a Halloween parade every year.
Cam -- the big, bad middle-schooler -- didn't dress up though he came home wishing he had as the entire sixth grade hall was done up as Hogwarts, even the teachers dressed within the theme. Now, that sounds like fun!

Trains are A-Coming
Last Saturday, Robbie and I went with Grandpa to the home of a fellow train club enthusiast. Dennis' layout is more of a garden railroad -- his focus being on the plants, etc. -- than Dad's more train oriented layout. In honor of Robbie, Dennis pulled out the 'special' grandchild caboose -- it blew BUBBLES.

A New Game
Robbie figured out that my parents' driveway/parking area has a wee slope. He'd pedal/walk the bike up to the top and let gravity take him down and around. A great new game to do over and over again!
