Pancakes and more

This morning, before church, we went to AJ's school for the annual Pancake Breakfast and Open House. AJ has been reminding us for weeks that the pancake breakfast was this weekend. Originally, I told AJ we would go to the breakfast after church, but AJ was adamant that we needed to be there at 8:00 am when it started. So we got there this morning at 8:00 am to find this in the parking lot:

Apparently, they must have a small fire or something in the kitchen this morning before everyone arrived. The fire alarm was still going off and there was still some smoke in the school when we arrived. All of the workers from the school were so apologetic, but it wasn't too bad. It was all you could eat pancakes and sausage, along with fruit cocktail and orange juice. The older students in the school actually served us. It was very nice. Both AJ and Ashleigh really enjoyed their breakfast, they both almost eat 3 huge pancakes themselves. Then off to church we went.

AJ got his report card on Friday and he did not do to bad. There are still some areas he needs to improve in like: reading, handwriting, and listening in class. Those were all of the areas we knew he needs a little extra help in. It was nice to see he improved in other areas like: art class, religion, science and math. Both Rick and I were really impressed with his report card this time, however, we still have a few questions to ask the teacher about his progress.

Ashleigh enjoyed her time outside on Friday with her classmates. Her teachers said all of the kids were so excited to be able to go outside to play in the snow. They only spent about 20 minutes outside, but nobody complained because everyone had a good time. Ashleigh's teachers said it took them longer to get everyone dressed in all of their snow gear then the time they spent outside. I am sure it was a nice break for the teachers to have the kids run off some of their energy. I can only imagine what it's like watching 20 four year olds and not be able to go outside. Her teachers said they would forward me the pictures when they get a chance. I will post them once I get them.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
