More Special Days

Once again, we've hardly seen a week since Christmas that all the kids were in school. The high school is off when the teachers have inservice training and when the building hosts ACT tests or 8th grade visitation days. Grace released students yesterday at noon for parent/teacher conferences last night and today. The elementary schools cancelled classes on voting day due to security concerns. Monday is the Presidents' Day holiday for the children, but not for Jonathan (and therefore, not for me!).

And when the kids do attend school, the special days are multiplying. Between Groundhog Day, the 100th day of school, Lincoln's birthday, and Valentine's Day, the first two weeks of February has been very full.

In addition, Paul's 16th birthday landed this week, and we owe treats to school for Rachel and David's half birthdays. (When a child's birthday falls in the summer, they can celebrate on their half birthday.)

Is there anything I'm forgetting? Probably!
