Routine

I know that it has been a while since I posted.  It is mostly because we have settled into a routine and there isn't really anything new to report.  :)  Alex is bringing home more and more homework which to me says her teachers are beginning to expect a little more from her.  She has a huge project for reading class that is due at the end of the month.  She has to read a book and then re-write it into an illustrated children's novel.  I can't remember how many pages the children's book is supposed to be. The book she chose is not exactly suitable for children, and she doesn't understand most of the 11 out of 278 pages she's read, so this should be interesting.  I am going to buy the book on my Kindle so I can read along with her.

Only a few more weeks of school left.  She has a dance next week at school, but she keeps waffling back and forth on whether she wants to go or not.  She does still get "homesick" for her friends back in Ukraine and I think because of that she is having some difficulty making new friends here.  Hopefully when she begins her Freshman year in the fall she will start to develop friendships here and realize it doesn't mean completely letting go of her friends in Ukraine.

On a completely unrelated note, I am sad to report that my six year old busted the Easter Bunny.  Apparently the Easter Bunny accidentally left a partially filled bag of jelly beans on my dresser and my little girl found them.  She was very quick to put two and two together.  She was actually delighted to know the truth because she realized that it was us giving her all of her wonderful Easter goodies.  Oddly enough, the Tooth Fairy nor Santa came up in the conversation.  I guess I'll tackle the subjects when they come up.
