Before I update you with the goings on of our lives, I have to take some bragging time right now. Any of you who have a current 6th grader, had a 6th grader or remember waaaay back when you were in 6th grade, remember the transition was difficult at best. Here in Lynden our 6th graders are at the Middle School. They are in their own little section away from the 7th & 8th graders but moving over to a "new school" makes 6th grade even more stressful for an 11/12 year old. It's been a trying time around here with our Mr. 6th grader adjusting. And it was showing up in his grades (not the best he could do). But I have to say this little guy has been working SO hard and he is now finally seeing the improvement and benefits. His weekly test packet came home yesterday with the following:
Science - A
Reading - B
Grammar - A
DOL (where you correct sentence structure & punctuation) -A
Spelling - A
Woohoo!!!! We're SO proud of you buddy!! And I'm sure the incentive of getting a Wii at the end of the school year (based on your grades) doesn't hurt either :D
So in pictures, here's what we've been doing.
CINNAMON ROLLS!!!
This is only 13 dozen!! Amber sold a record breaking 24 dozen!! Thank you friends!!! She is half-way there.
I spent all of last Saturday here with my friends
Of course, these are apples from Bellewood Acres! And their incredible caramel they get in from Minnesota.
Yumminess!
MAD DOG!!!!
It's been busy and fun around here!

Good job David!!!!
Sounds like you guys are super busy! Tell David good job on getting awesome grades :)
I wanted to eat that apple blossom right through the computer- I was tempted to lick the screen!!
I hear ya' on the middle school adjustment. Noah has had a HUGE amount of D's and F's until last week. Organization isn't his strong point and he has been doing the work but not turning it in. Three giant binders later, he finally has a system he can deal with and the grades are up to A's and B's
Keep having fun!!!
OK girlfriend - where did you hang out last Saturday? I don't recognize it. Is there a scrappin' store that you're not telling me about?!? :-) Great blog!!
