What We've Been Up To

I haven't blogged in a very long time. There's a good reason for that: grades. Quarter 1 grades just came out and I am just now digging myself out from under a pile of essays and précis. All of this grading makes it far less exciting to read or write anything. Which is probably not a good thing.

So anyway, here is a list of things we have been up to in no particular order:

• Caleb lost his first tooth! On Friday. He was playing basketball with Scott and missed a pass. It smacked him in the face and the tooth was history. The Tooth Fairy brought him a dollar in exchange for the tooth and guess what he wanted to buy with that dollar? Yep, a Death Star.
  
• Nikki ran her last cross-country meet of the season yesterday. She has improved tremendously and still loves it. She's planning on running all four years. In the meantime, she plans to dedicate her extra time after school to the drama department.
  
• Emma withdrew from her calculus class, which she was failing in spite of all her efforts to get help. As it turns out, she doesn't need that class anyway. She will take statistics in the spring. She admits that she is relieved, but I'm sure the fact that the class beat her isn't settling well with her.
  
• Scott is about to embark on a week of federal jury duty. Thankfully, he doesn't have to report on Monday. His ASB students also have a festival and a leadership conference this week, so it's going to be a touchy week if he's out. We have our fingers crossed!
• ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL THANKSGIVING BREAK!! If Scott has his way, we won't go anywhere or do anything. If I have my way, we will. We'll see who wins. Most likely, the kids and I will go somewhere and he will not.
  

Yep, that's about it for the Pages. Hope all is well with you!
