Banana Splits

This morning I had a parent/teacher conference w/ Ms. Megan, Autumn’s teacher.  They have them w/ all the parents this time of year.  Ms. Megan said Autumn is very social and interacts well w/ the other kids.  She also LOVES art and is the best color-er (is that a word?) in the class.  She is always good about staying in the lines.  She said Autumn needs to work on her letters and numbers, which I already knew.  But she said Autumn isn’t way behind the others or anything to be overly concerned about.

After work/school we rushed home and I made a quick dinner and then got busy cleaning the house.  Mom called from China on the iPad and said they were there safe and having a blast.  The line kept cutting out so we didn’t get to talk very long but it’s good to hear they are safe and sound.  At 7:00, we had our visiting teaching get together and had banana splits, and then I also had fruit for those who are trying to be healthy.

Right before everyone showed up, Autumn disappeared into her room and came out wearing this swimsuit from last year.  I am surprised it still fits b/c she’s grown so much.  She had the time of her life when the big girls played Barbies w/her.  We all sat around and talked for a while and then everyone left at about 8:45.  Autumn didn’t want to go to bed and said she needed to do her “homework”, which is a little worksheet from school.  We practiced our numbers by circling however many of each item it told us to circle.  She had to have a lot of help, but at least she’s wanting to try.

We really need to have people over to our house more often, b/c it makes me clean the house and it’s just fun to talk and laugh w/ people.  Autumn is such a social butterfly and enjoys getting to interact w/ other people.
