monday moments

Another busy day! I found out this morning that Kylie will be getting special ed services for language arts and will also be getting some OT. I'm amazed that they actually qualified her because the whole team originally told me that she didn't qualify but after some thought they did additional testing on her and she does now qualify.. her official IEP is friday morning.

The kids were at my ex's this weekend and chase ran another cross country race on saturday, 1 mile in 9:02..... his past races have been 9:09, 8:30 and 8:47. He loves it! He's not the best at it but he's not the worst either. I'm glad that he's finally found something that he enjoys and is good at.

OHHH!!! At cross country practice today that principal came out and talked briefly with me and strongly hinted that I got the toddler assistant job, i'll find out officially later this week when human resources call!

A couple of days ago Kylie decided that she wants to be Pippi Longstocking for halloween...remember her???? The worlds strongest girl who has a suitcase of gold, a monkey, a horse and lives alone because her pirate dad is lost at sea??? I LOVED THAT STORY!!! So I was so excited to make this costume that I finnished it in ONE DAY!! I found a navy jumper at goodwill for $1.79 and i cut the bottom off of it seeing it was a size 10 ( kylie is a 6) which gave it that well worn baggy look that i wanted. I bought a square of bright yellow and a square of bright red for the patches on the front of the dress and stitched them on by hand with white thread.. i literally stitch it on to look like a 9 yr old did it. Then I bought an adult small long sleeve red shirt at walmart and these funky stripey knee high socks and another pair of sort of solid color knee high socks ( remember she worn mismatched socks!) ... i picked up pipe cleaners for her braids to stick out too. Anyways it was so simple and it turned out adorable. I tried to take a picture but the flash wasnt working and the picture was too dark. I'll try again tomorrow. Chase wants to be a Fisherman.. that should be easy!
