Interviews With Dad

Trevor decided that on Fast Sundays he was going to give each of the kids an interview. This week he talked to them about some goals that they would like to work on. They also discussed ways that they could work on them. Lincoln wanted to work on a few things regarding school such as getting his homework done, not talking and his handwriting and football skills. Carter wanted to email and tell everyone he loves them. He cant type or spell, but he does love email and he already does great at the love thing. McKinley's were soooo funny. She wants to get better at putting on her winter gloves, opening doors (we have child locks on some), putting make up on. A few things that would make her happy are ice cream, a mirror on the back of her bedroom door so she can look at herself and jewels on all of her dresses. I debated about adding this to my blog, I hoped it wasn't too private, but they said it was okay. Trevor didn't prompt them and let them choose things that they wanted. I think my kids are sooo funny.

The kids are just about ready for school, I thought I was too. I am starting to feel sad about it. I don't think I am ready for Carter to go to school all day, everyday. He will be spitting his time between "regular" kindergarten and special ed. His teachers are amazing and I know that they will give him lots of love, but I am so afraid that he will get lost in the shuffle. I am so worried about lunch. I cant decide what to do, send a lunch or buy. Lincoln prefers to buy, he says that the lunches are good. I think Carter would like to buy too, but what if he doesn't understand or the person helping him doesn't understand him (very likely). Sometimes, I just wish I could home school, then I remember I could never to that. I am such a sucker, they would never learn a thing, that and they would put me in the mental institution with all the fighting. McKinley doesn't start until September and she is just going to a neighborhood preschool 3 days a week. It will just be Jack and I at home. It sounds so nice. He will probably be so sad and miss the kids though. He will probably love it, who am I kidding.
