Wednesday already?

Woah!

First and foremost - Happy 4th Birthday Caeli! I hope that your bicycle was a huge surprise when you opened your beautiful eyes this morning! We hope that you have so much fun at your party tonight that you are sound asleep before you get home! Wish we could celebrate it with you but just know we are thinking of you! Love ya!

The boys had their second cross-country meet on Monday and did really well again. They ran the mile and Tristan took 4th place with a time of 5 min 54 seconds. Yep, that's right 5.54! Aidan finished 12th with a time of 7 min 9 seconds! He ran the whole thing this time, no walking! There were 54 boys who participated in the run! Next Monday is their final meet and they've decided to take the mile and a half on for a challenge! No pics this time around - they were going so fast, all of them were blurry! My camera isn't fast enough for all of this action stuff!

Tristan came home yesterday in tears! He had his first experience with a tough substitute teacher and feeling inadequate. She told him that he had done his math work wrong and erased his work on the page. She then sent him home with it to redo. I'm not quite sure why she erased it and told him it was wrong because he was doing it right by my eyes. After a little consoling, we rewrote it all and sent it back the next morning. This is a preview for what life will be like once he has to do something that doesn't come easily to him. He's so used to being great at everything that when he doesn't understand something it frazzles him! Ah, those life lessons!
