Homeschool Co-op/ Boys Soccer!

I know I don't blog much but I just wanted to take a minute and tell you all about our day yesterday. I really HATE that my camera is broken. It broke right before all the kids birthdays in the spring. Perfect timing right?? I wish I had pics from yesterday but... oh well. :)

So yesterday was the first official day of Co-op. For me, it was like, eh, cool, I'm glad we get to do school somewhere else once a week and it was pretty fun meeting other homeschoolers and making friends. But Connor was just STOKED to get to 'go to school'! LOL! Carson was excited too but for some reason, Connor just REALLY thinks he needs to go to school where mommy isn't the teacher! He has been counting down the days! And the looks on their faces when they went to class, to lunch, P.E. ect made me SO grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it. Charlee did GREAT in the nursery! Connor is taking Apologia Science, Peacemakers, Character First, and PE. Carson is taking Pre K Skills, Play time (which I was a part of yesterday. We did a scavenger hunt outside:) Arts and Crafts and P.E. I sat in the nursery for the first hour to make sure Charlee would be ok and sat in with Carson for the other classes. Carson is SUCH a crafty kid! I love it! He is all over the art stuff and takes his time making everything perfect! He writes his name SO good already! I seriously see that kid becoming an architect or something. I love watching him draw and color! Connor had a hard time not being disruptive in each class... surprise surprise right?? LOL!!! He is such a character! He is definitely the class clown/ can't sit still/ center of attention type kid! It's frustrating and embarrassing but I wouldn't change it for anything! His personality is so happy and fun! I am very grateful he is not in public school though because I think he would be perceived as a bad kid or told he has adhd or something stupid like that. He is SUCH a good boy!! Carson is super quiet and well behaved in his classes. LOL! He raises his hand when his teacher asks questions and listens well. He is so cute!

Well both kids start soccer this year! Carson had his first practice last week. It was SO exciting for him!! The past year he has had to watch Connor play sports and he cries the entire time because he feels left out so it is VERY exciting that he gets to start something too! He LOVES his green and blue uniform! He did SO good at his practice and is by far the biggest kid on his team! He has such an athletic build! He could do anything he wants I'm sure! Connor's first practice was yesterday. He was STOKED! He walked way ahead of me, right up to his coach and said, "Hi, are you my coach? My name is Connor Jamison Pellew." LOL! When we established we were in the right place, Connor stuck out his hand to shake his coaches hand and said, "It's nice to meet you." HAhahah!!! He is always so proper and outgoing when he meets people! He had a blast at practice! But I did have to get after him once because he wouldn't stop randomly wrestling his team mates. :/ I really think soccer might be his thing over all the other sports. Oh and he chose the name for his team, "The Red Dragons" all the kids loved his idea so they went with it! Charlee, Carson and I played on the playground while Connor practiced. Charlee threw many little tantrums because she wanted to play with this giant dog that was there the entire time! LOL! Charlee is something else as well! I'll have to talk about her on another post. haha! I love my kids and feel incredibly blessed!

A few random things about the life of Connor lately... He recently learned to whistle after WEEKS of CONSTANT practice!! When he wants to learn something, he doesn't stop till he gets it! He also just learned to tie his shoe and ride a bike! He learned how to ride a bike on his OWN! And so about a week or so ago, there were some Mexican's working on the house of the roof across the street kiddie corner from us. Connor was playing outside and he yelled out, "Hola Amigos!" Ahhhh EMBARRASSING!!!!!!! They actually said, "Hola" back! haha!! He goes, "I said that because they speak Spanish!" Oh man!
