I love my sweet Willow, and I love our fun days together with just Roman while the big kids are at school. We play games, go for walks, cuddle and watch movies, read books , run a hundred errands, eat ice cream together, play in the back yard and have fun. I am SOOO glad I have 1 more year with her too before she starts school. I am in no hurry to send her off although she is ready now and would do fantastic! She's really smart, loves to do art projects, is so helpful and can be quite hilarious at times. She has even found a moody side which she likes to show when G-pa Arthur is around! I love her, and I especially love the picture of her in the van where she is filling out a Valentine to take to the firemen (but they never answered the door when we went last month. we were sad, but we left their treat and card that said Willow heart Mom. adorable)
Tristin will be 12 in 2 months and boy has he grown up this past year. He is offically taller than I am, currently has more leg hair than I do ( I just shaved! Yahoo!!) has armpit hair, a mustash, mood swings and a D in 1 class. He has mostly A's, so we were a little concerned about that one. I wrote a letter, have emailed back and forth with his writing teacher and he brought home an assignment yesterday to complete. It was nice to hear that he isn't rude or disrespectful, that he is very smart and verbalizes it well, but when it comes to completing his writing assignments, he slacks off and goes into his own world at times. Sounds like Travs report card, every single time! Anyway, we pulled him out of his after school club until he gets his assignments done and we've had lots of talks- so hopefully things improve. I just hate these years of wild change. I just want to fast forward these next several years!!!
