Tonights Dinner..... chili.... yum.... salad (which I snuck some spinach in, don't tell anyone, they loved it!), and clementines. Alyson loved the 'baby oranges, and I think Aimee did too. Joey left at 3 with yesterdays chicken and dressing to eat for lunch at work. I love chili in the winter!

This week the girls are preparing for midterms. Aimee has 130 definitions in Biology alone to learn by next week, and yesterday Alyson had a test on 8 chapters in History. They are learning so much. Mrs. T. set up special after school study sessions. She asks the questions in a game like form and the kids love it. We are so lucky to be at NHCA.

Aimee had photography club after school and came home showing me all the pictures she took. While she was at club, Alyson and I went to the Mickey D's for a milkshake and studied her spelling words. She has 20 words each week to learn, and 10 additional vocabulary words. Long words, like democratic and comprehension. Today was her first day with the new list and she knew all but 4. Pretty good for 6th grade.

I remember this past summer being so concerned about where to send them to school. All of that worry for nothing.... God already had it all worked out. I know that my girls are totally and completely safe at NHCA and they are learning good things. God is good.

My Oatmeal diet is working. I've lost another pound. Yay!!!
