We went to the Portland Children's Museum with our friends on Thurs. The kids had a blast. They did everything, shopped, played with water, painted their faces, played with clay, dug, built etc. It was a fun day, and it was not busy at all.
Not much else to report. Aaron is busy working on his classes (he was up until 4:30 the other morning doing homework), and he's been pretty busy at work. The kids and I are just hanging here. We've been having more crazy Vancouver weather. It was so nice last week we went to the park everyday, then this week we've had tons of rain and snow. Can't wait for Spring and Summer to get here. Kaitlyn is working hard on her reading and writing. She's working hard to be able to read one whole book by herself because she's been told she'll get a Belle doll when she does. There's a great store here called Learning Palace, and we went on Monday and got a bunch of work books for writing, reading and math, and Kaitlyn will sit for like an hour everyday doing pages from each of the books. I actually have to limit her to only two pages in each a day. I swear she would sit and finish the whole workbook if I let her. Guess that's a good sign for Kindergarten next year. Matt on the other hand won't sit still long enough to learn anything. Although he is getting better at counting. If you ask him to count he'll say "1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9," and then yell at the top of his lungs "10!!!" We're working on it. He loves to sing though and aks all day long to sing Itsy Bitsy spider. He also loves to have books read to him and will bring out every book on the bookcase while Kaitlyn is at school for me to read to him. So he's probably retaining some important info right?
