Smarty pants


Reyna made it to the spelling bee again!! This is her 5th year, and last year she took 3rd place! She's got until next Thursday to study 150 words. Some words I can remember off the top of my head - claustrophobic, fascinating, decathlon, significance, manageable, responsibility.



Reyna is also in Gifted and Talented Education (GATE). This year, starting in March, the kids will be able to take part in an after school program. They will be creating a newspaper, and learning all that's involved in doing so, including meeting deadlines and researching information. She's pretty excited about it.



We just found out there is a dance tomorrow night at her school. A dance for 5th graders!? Hmmm, seems kind of young to me. I asked her if she wants to go, she's not sure. I told her to ask her girlfriends today if they are going, and if she wants to go I'll take her. It's from 6-8.



In other news, we just found out Steve's grandma has lung cancer. I feel really bad for Steve, as he's always been really close to her. She's an awesome lady. They will be starting radiation soon, and hopefully that has some effect on the mass in her lung. They won't be doing chemo, she's not strong enough at almost 80 years old.

Plans for this weekend? MOVING!!
