Life As We Know It... April/May Edition

Here's what we've been doing lately...

We celebrated Autism Awareness month by lighting our house up blue for the month of April!

And by wearing our Autism Awareness shirts on WAAD.
And we celebrated Memorial Day with swimming & bbq!


We played with ducks.

and snowballs

and 'swatters.'

And I ordered baby Hatchimals for Addy and she shared them with the boys!
Alex bridged from a Wolf Scout

to Bear Scouts

and we went to Typhoon Texas for our end of the year Girl Scout party.

And the kids closed out the 2016-2017 school year with...

Alex's GT showcase

Addy's 4th grade musical



the SOE school carnival





Tug of War


and Field Day


4th grade Mini Society where Addy had to make something to sell to the other 4th graders for fake money. She ended up going with pokeball keychains made out of Sculpty clay. They were a BIG HIT with the 4th graders!!
And their end of the year awards ceremonies.

In Addy's class, they did a poetry cafe & Addy read one of her poems she had written. She got an award for being a Super Speller & her classmates voted her best artist!

Alex also read a poem during his awards & got all A honor roll, academic excellence in Reading, Science & Social Studies & was also voted best artist by his classmates! (I have 2 artistic children!!)

After 2 years, Alex had to say goodbye to his amazing teacher Mrs. Martin!! 
She has been such a blessing to him these past 2 years & he will really miss having her as his teacher!

And since next year Addy will be moving to a brand new elementary school in Sienna, she had to say goodbye to these 3 amazing ladies who have been her sped teachers for the past 5 years!

And of course, the last day of school!

The end of the school year is always a busy time. Thank god for summer, sleeping late & no schedules! We need it after these last couple of months!

Life As We Know It... February & March Edition

Here's what we've been doing during February & March...

Alex has been busy with his cub scout troop.
He sold coupon books outside of Kroger to help raise money for his pack.
His goal was to sell 15 books & he accomplished that :)

He also went on a field trip to the Armand Bayou Nature Center. While he & his den were busy earning their Paws on the Path adventure loop, Addy, Nick & I explored the nature center. 
We went to Urban Air


and bookclub

and celebrated Nick's birthday

Brooke's birthday

and St. Patrick's Day.

The kids took their school pictures

Rocked their Socks for Down Syndrome Awareness Day

And Addy tried her hand at skating during PE.
She wasn't the best at it but luckily she has some sweet friends who held her hands & helped her out while skating!

And I started bootcamp. 
And I love it!!
