Krista- HUGS!!! I can't imagine how stressfull all of this has been. I know that the last couple of years have been trying and all of that has just been magnified since he started school. At least if you can have the answers you desire you can move on! Hopefully things get figured out soon, so lil T can get the help he needs, whatever it may entail. Keep your chin up, there are a lot of amazing Aspies out there. Oh and feel free to come and have a pity party here whenever you want. We all need a pity party once in a while. Hope the volunteering was fun. 

Christina- YAY for the epic Halloween!!  Can't beat epic and free that is awesome. Your girls looked so cute! I have to giggle over Natalia with all that hair, she looks so different (Ilove her real hair BTW! Always have) 

Halloween was good here. DH did make it home and we went to our trick or treat street, then did REAL trick or treating. I think the kids had a ball we got 14 pounds of candy. Last night DH actually got home on time so we went and saw my grandparents for an hour thencame home and had blue moons with oranges (best thing ever) while the kiddos played outside for a bit. Then dinner and bed, but it is so nice when dh is home on time, feels like we actually had an evening.Blayse has done a total turn around since the beginning of the year.   He still has a long way to go. But I am proud of him.  Zoey has given me a run for my money, I seriously think girls have a time of month too. There were two days this week while she was "weepy" and miserable for no reason. That is hard to deal with, lol. Dagon learned to tell time this week. He doesn't always do it 100% right but he totally understands the concept. I think it was a boost that he needed, because we have kind of hit a wall with the reading and he is frustrated. It was nice for him to be able to make leaps and bounds in something else. No big plans this weekend but Monday is homeschool day at the Mueseum, and we get to see the Pompeii exhibit. We just finished studying this and I think getting to see these things is going to be AMAZING!!!

Christina- I would love to meet you for lunch I will make the time, you name the place and we will be there.  Hopefully the specialist will set your mind at ease. Dang kids are always giving us something to stress about. It's funny Dagon actually just got accepted into a charter school, ( I had forgotten to tell you ladies) anyway it is a pretty big deal. I put him on the waiting list when he was 4 months old. Anyway their Kindergarten program is full day everyday, and dh and I have done a lot of soul searching about this, but at this time anyway we plan to go ahead and keep him home next year. We at going to attend kindergarten orientation for this school, but I don't plan on really being sold,lol. For Blayse, yes I plan on keeping him home as well. He begs me constantly not to send him back. Zoey has also changed in so any ways for the better it is unbelievable. So no unless anyone is begging me to go back to public school I will keep them home.  As long as it is working for us, I don't really plan on sending them back, except. Maybe for high school.  S many homeschool moms tell me though that by the time their kid is high school age they are practically on their own and many start taking college credited classes at community college by the time they are 16, but I am just not there yet.  These same moms also tell me Dagon could probably finish first grade curriculum by the end of next year. I don't want to push him through it but I can see where it is possible. Zoey is already half way through all of her 2nd grade math and language arts, just a quarter through school, and it didn't really involve any pushing at all. If the kid gets it you just move on. Alternately if fractions is the equivalent of oral surgery (Blayse) you can just keep working on them. At Zoey current pace though she will be doing 3rd grade stuff by January. It will probably slow her down a bit though because it does get harder.
