Makes My Monday

--The kids finally filled up the family marble jar, so we took a trip to NASA on Saturday as a reward. It's gotten so easy to take them all somewhere these days. Charlie and Joseph are so interested in everything too. So much fun.

--Sunday morning Will wanted all the kids to clean up the whole house to surprise us (while we were still sleeping). Yes, they do that sometimes. But he couldn't get any takers to help him yesterday. So he did it all by himself.

--Along those lines, Will loves to clean so much that he has asked for sponges for Christmas. Green sponges.

--We finally had Charlie's parent-teacher conference last week. His teacher started with showing us a bunch of test scores from the beginning of the year, but the scores are somewhat difficult to interpret. Then she told us that on "reading fluency" they are looking for a benchmark of 60 points. He scored 179 at the beginning of second grade.

--Charlie and Joe's basketball games start this weekend. I'm glad. For some reason I can manage to keep our lives organized only if we are incredibly busy.
