Confessore Family

Not too much has been going on since school started besides the normal daily activities of getting up early, rushing to get us all out the door, dropping the kids off, getting to work, picking the kids back up, making dinner, get the kids into bed, and falling into bed ourselves! You know the drill. Cross started Judo classes about a month ago. There is a center near our house and they have a van that they use to do after school pick up. So, that is nice because I am not rushing out the door at 3 from work to pick him up. They make the rounds picking up kids at the different schools, take them back to the center for a snack and they can work on homework or just play and then the Judo lesson is from 5 pm to 6 pm. He started off doing the class every weekday, but now is only doing the class 2 or 3 days a week. Which, they said is fine especially for the young ones like him. They still pick him up and keep him at the center even if he does not want to do the the lesson on that day. This has made it easier on me because I can stay at work until 4:30 or 5 or leave work early and go grocery shopping with no kids before I make the rounds to pick them up.
Since Cross started Judo, Jesse is walking home with a friend so they can have "band" practice (not so much a band yet as 3 kids getting together and playing) and I stop by and pick him up whenever I am picking the other two up. He is playing the drums and the other two play guitar and bass I think.
Cross had a little trouble adjusting to kindergarten and was getting in trouble for not following instructions and playing too much, but we have had a talk with him and are working with better discipline at home and hopefully will get him on the right track. He has had four days of green cards (they get green for a good day, yellow for some problems solved by warnings, and red for a bad day)
I will take a picture of Cross in his Judo uniform and post it soon.
