GOAL!!!

Kherington scored her very first goal!  They don't keep official score, but her team won 14-0.  Kind of painful to watch.  She kicked the ball and it managed to go through the pack of kids without getting and into the goal.  She loves playing and I love that she is getting more aggressive.

After the game we went and got donuts and breakfast tacos.  We all loved the tacos, so maybe they will be our new family tradition.

Kherington School Update

Kherington LOVES her school and especially loves her kindergarten teacher Miss Augustine.  I love that Miss Augustine takes a lot of pictures and posts them (photography is one of her hobbies).  Kherington loves 'specials' which are pe, art, library, computer lab etc.  During class they read, dance to songs, use ipads, practice spelling and more.  Each student has gotten to take turns being queen or king for the day.  When it is their turn, all the students draw a picture of the child and Miss Augustine made all the pictures into a book.  Kherington was so excited to have a book of her own and flips through it looking at the pictures each kid drew of her.  Miss Augustine uses class dojo to give the kids points during class.  When Kherington gets home she loves pulling up the app on my ipad to show me how she's doing.

At home we practice reading and writing too.  We started using a white erase board which makes it even more fun.  She has also started having homework.  It is learning 5 sight words.  She gets the list on Monday and has a test on Friday.  After the first test her teacher told me she did the best and has great handwriting.  She knew all 5 of her words plus spelt the extra word correctly too.

Pumpkin Painting Round 1

We had our friends over for pumpkin painting and dinner one afternoon.  Actually, I dropped Kherington and Kevin off at her place while I took Jonathan to his 9 month check-up, and then they all came over to our place.  The kids were a little off and pretty whiny, then to top it off, the paint dried and instantly started peeling off.  It was fun to have company for the afternoon especially since both our husbands were gone (her's travels during the week and Ryan just works late).  We will try again next week with different paint and happier kids.
