This Week at Our House # 17

1. John's job extended a bit for him to be the person to complete the web development portion of it. That's good. He had a job interview, but was not called back. I thought that was too bad for them, because John was a uniquely perfect fit for the job. He has two more phone interviews this week. 
2. I had a busy, busy week. I did a lot of writing for Mormon Women Stand and I spent a lot of time trying to prepare for my trip to North Carolina to visit my parents. I have a lot more to do. But I am excited to go. I will be taking my 3 youngest kids. My dad has not seen Susan at all yet. I look forward to showing her off.
3. Ruth's been busy preparing for AP exams. She dragged Kate to a school dance on Friday and they both had fun.
4. Kate's been busy preparing for AP exams too. Kate got dragged to the school dance, but had a lot of fun.
5. I finally got Johnny into the eye doctor. His prescription has doubled. He got his new glasses. He's excited to see and I think they look a lot better. And Johnny is officially my tallest kid. He's surpassed both Ruth and Kate.
6. Adam had common core testing at school, which he thought was boring, but was really glad not to have homework because he spent his whole day taking a test.
7. Rachel had the testing too. She said that it was really boring so she would just ask to go to the bathroom. 
8. Anya had a pretty good week. I have been keeping an eye on her and how she interacts with other kids. I noticed that she plays for a little while, but then goes off and plays by herself. I think I know her problem and how to help.
9. Joseph's doing great. He is writing me notes now. I love when my kids can write,
10. Joshua had a normal week. He's looking forward for his first plane ride.
11. Arwen has been talking more. On Friday, Arwen threw her granola bar wrapper on the floor. John told her to put it where  it belongs, meaning the trash, but Arwen just slid it back on her granola bar. 
12. Suzy's been a bit fussy and eating a ton. I think she is growing. I am a little worried about having her on a plane. Hopefully all will go well.
