Sick and SEP's

So here is the short update for our lives. Ali had type A influenza (which the swine flu falls under) and she recovered and did not spread it to the rest of us! YEAH! Matt went to parent teacher conference for Trev and Ali. Ali is doing well, finishes her work and then helps others with their homework. She is also above level on reading...which we already knew since she is reading the the 5th Harry Potter book and loving and giggling and gasping while reading. Trev is also doing very well and above grade level on his reading. His teacher said he is doing really well and said she had no major complaints. She did say that she has moved him seats twice already this year because he keeps talking to his neighbors. So after this last time she moved him, his teacher asked if he was going to talk to his neighbors, his response was "Yeah, probably!" (OH DEAR!!!) His teacher then tells him that he needs to exert self control and not talk so much/loudly to his neighbors. I love that little monkey!
Oh and I talked to Bries teacher, and she said she is doing quite well as well. She is already patterning and sorting in her preschool. She already writes her name, enough for you to be able to tell what it is, but not that great of hand writing. :) Unfortunately that is a problem for all 3 of the kids. They need to write more often with their dad, not their mom. I get the most questions on what I write when others have to read it...
So that is the little blurb for the update in this Thacker house.

So I said I would post pictures...oops.

So sorry that I did not post the pictures on here. Fire me if you will. :) I once asked that at work on an extremely busy day with a minor screw up, and was told I could not be so lucky!
So not much going on in my life. Work, kids going to school, sleep, repeat. Trev has recently been tested by his teacher for his reading capabilities, and he is reading at a 5th grade reading level in 1st grade. She is extremely worried that he is going to become bored. And again strongly recommended we get him tested for ALPS (accelerated learning of some sort.) So that is what part of my day off will concisest of, that, making empanadas, jello cookies, helping with homework and laundry. FUN! :) I actually don't mind days off like this!
