Okay then...I tried to post with no avail...I hit the enter key after naming this post...ooopsie ;)
I finally got on this and noticed that I haven't posted anything since January. So much has gone on since then, but hell if I'd remember. Summertime is here. The kids are home and I would love to see them go back :P~~~ Most of the time they are good, however...one ticks off the other and starts a round of war. We know how that is...we have siblings.
So...Chrystan will be in 8th grade this year. Seems that her middle school drama has been minimal to say the least, thank GOD! I know many of us have had rather swallowed broken glass than go through the aches of middle school. She is smart, athletic and an all around good kid. I have been fortunate to be a part of her life. I have been blessed!
On to Caet! Caet is going to be in second grade this fall. SECOND GRADE!!!! Oh my word. The time flies, doesn't it? She had a pretty good first grade experience. A few bumps along the road, but she passed with flying colors. She is also very smart. She is a child who just has to know why things happen. Telling her doesn't get the point across...she has to actually do the experiment to see just why. Tends to get awfully messy, but the mess is short lived, as she will grow up someday.
Then there's Conor. Conor is in the "terrible two" phase. My girls kind of missed that all together so I am getting it 100,oo0%. Of course when he doesn't get his way, he will let you know by a slap, scratch or scream. He is really smart. He has known his alphabet and colors for quite a while. We are working on shapes and colors now. He can form full sentences wonderfully. Some of his favs are "Who is that, mom?" "Where's Caet?" And then there are the "dammits" shits" and other swear words he's absorbed into his vocab. Oh well. I would rather him get it out of his system now. Preschool will be happening next fall, and I don't want him spouting these words there ;)
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th and fabooo summer!!!

Another Day~
Okay...so I know...it's been a while. Some much needed updating is in order. I feel terrible that I haven't had any time to do this. Actually, I don't have time now, but oh well :P
Let's start at the top.
Chrystan is doing well. We are approaching the much dreaded teenage years. These years are tough. It's much tougher to have to contend with another mother. She wants her freedom, but gets it taken away much of the time. She is really a good kid. She fights with her sister, helps out with her brother (every once in a while) and she does well in school. I can't really complain. It could be worse I suppose :)
Caet...now Caet...Caet is her usual self. She is sick at the moment. The "flu bug" is hitting the school pretty hard. Apparently there was a 1st grade class that only had 10 students in it. She is doing well in all of her subjects, however I think she is getting a bit board. I also have a feeling that the teacher likes to single her out. She gets in trouble, well, a lot. Silly things really, but it makes her really upset when she is sure it's the other child's fault. She is clever and smart. The other day her father was showing her a card trick. The trick is he pulls out 2 red queens and 2 black kings. He then does something silly and ends up with 2 red kings and 2 black queens. Most people will sit there in amazement at the trick. Caet didn't skip a beat and told her father that they were, in fact, different suits. Only true Hutchins blood could have picked that out :D
On to Conor-the amazing screaming boy. I tell you, this boy screams more than any kid I have ever encountered. I mean, holy crap!!! He is now speaking a few full sentences. To my amazement. I asked him where the remote was, he answered "mote?" "I don't know where it is." The phrase of the day, he dropped something, screamed and said "don't do that!" I am amazed all over again what these children pick up. Of course the usual swearing. I am thankful that only I can usually understand the swearing, but soon enough he will say it loud and clear and probably during mass :)
Have a great day!!!
