Happy Halloween

We had a party in my room yesterday. We had a full day of fun activities and relaxing with each other. It was nice to be able to have fun with the kids. It got awfully loud at times, but repeating the mantra "They're not being bad. They're having fun." helped me keep things into perspective. And they WERE having fun. It was good to see.

Next week, we heading into the end of the trimester, which means lots of tests. I am doing what I can to relieve the stress and anxiety of that for the kids, but it is never an easy time. I just keep reminding myself that I am earning a week long vacation by getting all the grades totalled, report cards filled out and conferences completed. I will enjoy EVERY second of that vacation, too.
