Well, today was Matty’s big interview day at Berkeley Prep. After months and months of thinking about this day, it has finally come and gone. He is smart, kind, funny, and beautiful….what more could they ask for??!!! At 8:30 on the dot the lady came to get him. She took him by the hand and they just walked off; such a big boy. The only question that I heard was, “Matty, how old are you?” In which he answered 4. He had to rebuild what she built with blocks, cut with scissors, recognize letters and their sounds, write his name, skip, answer questions about his family and draw a picture of them, know his shapes, and perform a few computer activities like matching, etc. They don’t tell you how it goes, but she did comment on how much Matty talked. Love him. At 9:30, right after Matty was Jay’s interview. To celebrate them officially being over we had a playdate. Sejal and I took the boys to the park, out to Burger 21 for lunch, and then came back to our house for a few minutes. Whewww…. Next up is the group interview on Saturday, and then we wait…and wait…until March 16th! Good luck baby boy!

Today is the 100th day of school. Davy’s project was to cut out words of things that he liked or described him. The letters had to exactly add up to 100, not one letter more or less. 🙂

The weather was so beautiful this weekend so Andy and I took the boys and Molly on a picnic. We headed over to Glencliff park, picked up some Subway, threw down a blanket and laid in the sun for two hours while they played. At the end of the picnic we wandered to the back of the park and found cache log. We had dinner next door for Debbie’s birthday and the Ravens with quarterback Flacco won the Superbowl.

Today, Erin and I went to a luncheon over at Tropicana Field. Our lunch was in the out field and our presentation was called “Bridges out of Poverty” with Ruby Payne as the keynote speaker. It was very eye-opening to hear her speak and I love the program that they are continually trying to improve and grow within the community. One fact that I learned today, is that there are more than 4,000 kids in the Hillsborough county schools that are considered homeless…that is sad :(…

This pretty much sums up every night after bath. The boys get dressed for bed, Andy is working on his computer or I-pad, and then the jumping begins. The boys love it! They squeal and laugh, the dog gets excited, and Andy just smiles….everytime. 🙂
