Cheer, Chop, Grand jete'

School for my monkeys starts back on Monday. They all seem to be excited which I really wasn't expecting from the younger two. Abbey thinks school is a social event so she is thrilled (yes, I remember that I thought that too...I know the reminders are coming). We went and met teachers and took our hundreds of dollars worth of supplies with us. For all you old MPFBCers, Kim (Reed) Taylor works at Dacula Elementary and it was fun to talk to her for a minute.

On top of school we are adding Competition Cheerleading for Abbey with a tumbling class on another day to go with that. Hebron offers both and it's half as much as cheering for the county. There are no games, but they do 4 competitions: 3 in GA and the nationals in Orlando...maybe I should rent Bring It On before we start...LOL. Kim's daughter also cheers up there and so does John and Sherry Densen's oldest daughter. So it was good to see some old familiar faces there. They are all in the same grade but their girls both cheered last year so they are on a different squad. Abbey loved the clinic today and hopefully she will enjoy it. If they are looking for energy...they have definitely found it.

Josh has visited Hebron's school of karate twice now and wants to join that which meets twice a week. He was going to join this week, but then we had an incident with some beating up on Mary and now he has to wait because, "With great power comes great responsibility". It works for spiderman--let's hope it works for him. I think it will be a very good thing for him in a lot of ways.

Miss Mary is signed up to take ballet/tap after school once a week. She wanted to cheer but I thought we would hold off on that for another year. I should have gone with her idea it would have been cheaper! I think she will like dancing though and her recital will be fun to watch. Her teacher is the same lady who taught Abbey when she was three. I assured her Mary was a much different child than Abbey and of course she laughed...but you know she was thinking it!!

Then there is Awana and children's chior that starts next week too.

On top of all that for the kids, I register to go back to school next week. And I have gotten a job during the time they are at school. Oh my goodness, what was I thinking???? Family, I may call on you for taxi services on occassion...fair warning!

HOLY COW! I'm tired just looking at your schedule. I'm proud of you for going back to school also- what are you going to be studying? Your babies are getting so big- saw the pic of Abby on the 4 wheeler, couldn't believe how tall and beautiful she is getting to be.
