We were working on getting settled into the regular school routine this week. (It was hard! The excitement was already waning, and school wasn't so brand new.) We began the world of 1st grade homework and learned that it takes about 40 minutes each evening of Mom and Lincoln doing the paragraph, question, spelling words, ABC order words, sight words, and math fluency. Oh, and we are supposed to read his two library books each night too! Needless to say, there has been a lot of texting between moms trying to determine the best homework strategies and making sure we are all understanding the rules. This is NOT Kindergarten homework! Football practice was a welcome activity after school on Tuesday and Thursday. The boys are still mostly working on drills and learning how to move with the ball and how to try to understand defense. This picture is Lincoln vs. Lincoln! It's so funny that two sweet boys named Lincoln are on the same teams and in the same grade at Bowie.
After practice on Thursday, the boys requested dinner out. Braum's was their choice, and they were so excited because they have never had anything but ice cream or milkshakes from there. They were kind of surprised when they learned that Braum's had real food a few days ago. So Braum's it was! Chicken strips for the boys, a salad for Mom, and two ice cream cones to finish it out! It was Lincoln's first time to eat the cone, and he loved it. (He should have listened all of those other times when he was assured the cone was great to eat!)
Beau really enjoyed his "chwwwwacolate" ice cream! He didn't do much with the cone, but I guess he has two more years to gain Lincoln's extra cone wisdom. Beau did see a friend from his new Primrose class eating dinner with her family, and we sat next to Aisnley to get to know them better. Surely he impressed her with his chwwwwacolate beard!
More fun is on the way!
