Catching up in Blogland.

I am so far behind on blogging. We have been busy that blogging has just taken a backseat to other things but it has been so nice catching up with my Blogger Buddies. We have been working on potty training again. Raegan is not doing well in Pull-Offs.... oops... I mean Pull-Ups. She is always taking them off. Fortunately, she goes potty but then doesn't want to wear them...so we have resorted to panties. ELMO and Mickey of course. Hey, you gotta do whatever it takes. At night we switch to them and she seems to be motivated to wear them until bedtime. We've only had a few accidents. Today she used the potty 6 times.

Scott and I have discovered Monopoly Electronic banking and we LOVE it. We especially love the fact that you can stop playing and then start all over again whenever you want. We can get a good hour in at night after she goes to bed and then save the game for another night.

We received our results on our state tests this week. About 75% of my students scored advanced but I had 2 students to get below proficient. Overall, I was pleased with their scores. Most students did better than I expected and they were really excited about the results. This week is finals. We have 2 days left of school until Christmas break. We have so much to do to finish out the semester. Its like the end of the year for us because we will get all new students and classes in January thanks to our block scheduling.

I haven't had much time to enjoy my crafts, hairbow making, or sewing. We have a new toy and we are still trying to figure it out. I will update you later on how it is going. I am electronically challenged.....so we'll see.

My sweet friend Amanda has shared good news with me. Her little girl Flor has just gotten out of PGN in Guatemala and will be coming home soon. She has been trying to bring this little girl home for so long now and she is so close. I only wish it could've been for Christmas but a way to bring in the New Year. We are so happy for them both to be Forever Home!
