This Week at Our House #21

1. John is doing the web development part for the company he has been working for this year and he really hates javascript and HTML. Like. a. lot.
2. We're getting there... one and a half weeks left of school and only 7 actual school days. Many of the projects and a lot of the performances are done.
3. Ruth had a good week. She's trying to see the positive in herself and her life. She feels like she is finally making some good friends. And she has an A in ap chemistry. Oh and I got to take Ruth and Kate jean shopping and out to dinner. It was so fun. We witnessed a car accident too.
4. Kate's funny and so sarcastic. John and I were wondering who would fill that humor spot in our home when she moves out. We agreed that it would probably be Joseph. When we went out to dinner Kate had a hamburger that she just cannot forget. She feels like she must have more and has reminded me about that everyday.
5. Johnny had his final orchestra concert. It wasn't our favorite because he played the same song that he still had memorized from last year's final orchestra performance.
6. Adam's tall or at least tall-ish. I went to another one of his performance and he is one of the taller 4th graders. That's big for our family since most of the other kids are either the shortest or close to the shortest kids. Adam is on living room duty, which is the hardest chore, because he can be so physical with his siblings. I am also making him repeat to me about 5 times a day why he is being punished.
7. Rachel argued and fought all last week.We're working on it and working and working and working. But she has so much that is good. She keeps buying candy and sharing with everyone.
8. Anya likes to do secret service. She leaves notes and pictures and money or candy or food up on everyone's beds. 
9. Joseph is reading really, really well. His primary teacher was very proud of him because he read a scripture easily without any help and was reverent the whole time.
10. Josh spent the last week drawing pictures of robots. He would disappear for hours at a time and then come out with a large stack of paper full of his robots, each with a name. Some of the names were funny like, vacuum robot 6, or the destroyer.
11. Arwen brought a couple of swords to Ruth, out one in her hand and wanted to sword fight.
12. Suzy gets into the garbage all the time and looks for something to eat. It's a disgusting mess. She's 11 months now, which makes me sad. They grow too quickly.
