October Fun

The first week back from Europe was a little rough.  The kids got up at 2:30am on Monday morning.  And they didn't go back to sleep.  The rest of the week, the slept in a little later but still up by 6am.  Austin got a lot of homework done in the mornings.  It was nice when they were finally caught up with their homework.

Homework has been an adjustment this year.  Austin has anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes of homework a night.  He has spelling test each week and timed math test every week.  Plus reading homework.  Sydney has spelling test every two weeks and homework projects every two weeks as well.  I have been copying Austin's homework so she has something to work on in the evenings.  She loves homework.  Austin does not.  It is a struggle every night for him to do it.

Sydney finished up soccer this month.  She really enjoyed it.  She was good at it too.  I am hoping to convince her to do indoor soccer this winter.  Austin has been doing flag football.  He likes being with is friends.  There has been some cold and raining games.  Austin became a complete mud ball during one of the games.

We went to the home opener of the Cavs game.   It's a little sad this year since we no longer have Lebron.  However it's still a fun family activity to do.  With school, the kids usually don't get their hair painted or tattoos anymore since they are not allowed to have them at school.  Unfortunately the Cavs lost and it looks like it's not going to be a good season for them.

Austin had his annual hearing test.  We got busy over the summer and we couldn't get an appointment before school started.  So we went in October.  We got the best news ever, he finally passed a hearing test.  And we no longer have to follow up unless something happens.  We are all very happy!
