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!!!
