The Russo's

Our last day of school was May 8, 2019. Last Day of 4th grade and 2nd grade.  Love my little students and for all the time I get to spend with them!   They picked Popeyes for lunch and they got an ice cream cone too The last month of school was a little tough. I guess they know the end is near. We were all glad that summer was coming. This year felt a lot like last year, which was our first homeschooling year. A few things got better, but we still struggled through some days. It was a year of trial and error again and that's okay. Even small progress is something and gives me hope for the future!  They both loved doing science experiments. We tried to do more at the end of the year to make it more fun.  Hudson liked science, history and health better than language and math. We would try different places to read, but he gets distracted anywhere. He is more interested in the school of life than the classroom. He said he’s not going to colleg...

It's hard to believe that Hudson has hit the double digits!! He is turning into a young man or a "man child" as Josh likes to call him. He likes to build or make things and figure out how things work. He spends a lot of time outside riding his bike, shooting or "hunting". He is coming out of his shell more and more. He loves going to the camp and said you don't have to ask him if he wants to go because it will always be yes :) Josh took him to Waffle House for breakfast on Saturday the 20th.  He wanted to have a Nerf battle at the house. We got pallets and inflatables to make a battlefield.  They divided into two teams and battled it out! Jules just ran around the field the whole time We love our boy! He doesn't want us to call him Huddy anymore and he is catching up with me! He is a good helper and blessing to us!  He was opening presents and not having a reaction until... he opened this gun!  They sa...

We went to an Easter Eggstravaganza at the museum that the library hosted. Gianna got her face painted.    They played games    Gianna was the only one that took a picture with the Easter bunny. Hudson said it was creepy.  The Easter egg hunt was last, we didn't find the golden egg.   We took off of school on Good Friday. The Roppolos got together that evening at Nana & Papa's house. It was our first crawfish boil of the season. Some of them were huge! The guys did a great job as usual     It rained off and on and then a beautiful rainbow showed up!  My dog niece Roxie :)  Hudson's birthday was on Easter Sunday this year. We did his party on Saturday afternoon. (See next post)  Sunday morning at church Lunch at Jennifer's   Dinner at Nana B's with an Easter egg hunt and dying eggs     Emerie found the golden egg, ...
