  • we're alive

    Its been a whirl-wind week.

    Monday was my first day of school for the year.  It went well, and the kids forgot very little.  We are doing Beta Math u See, and a Reader as our hands on mommy-intensive stuff.  The kids really like the reader we're using, and so do I.  Its got a nice mix of "big" words, and beautiful pictures.  It was given to me by the local p/s as they recieved it as a sample from a curriculum company, and weren't currently intrested in changing curriculum. 

    I believe we are going to fly through the math-u-see.  But that's good, as its set up differently, and in some ways felt like a step-backwards when we switched programs. 

    Anyhow on Tuesday we left the house at 11:30 for errands, baton practice, and dinner at my moms.  We returned home at 9:30 at night to find my DSL went capoot.

    Its fixed now, but I've once again had a whirlwind day.

    And it ain't gonna stop this week.  LOL

    Kaylin was invited to move up to a different baton class.  The coach LOVES her.  The class unfortunately meets on Wednesday.  But Samuel and Jamari were also invited to join baton classes.  Sam's on Wednesday, Jamari in Rainee's class.  They LOVE it, and have been bugging, and bugging to get to do it.

    Wednesday is Awana, so we are normally in town anyhow, so we've just added a bit more time in town.  It will be a bit exhausting for me, but I believe its necessary for my kids.  And they so love baton.

    Its still much less taxi driving then most mom's do.  Its ONE class for each child plus Awana.  It seems like more cause I have 6 kids.

    Anyhow I need a taxi-mom gif.  Anyone got one?  Cause yeah Tuesdays and Wednesday's just got kinda full.  LOL

  • Sounds like they're going to have a wonderful time. I am sure they appreciate it.

  • Welcome to the world of "your kids are growing up" and have to be taken more places. lol You'll survive. We all did. Just take lots of vitamins and drink lots of water to keep your body functioning. I'm anxious to see pictures of the boys in baton. I never think about boys doing that.

  • I have to agree with the first part of the last comment.  Welcome to the club.  The running around comes and goes.  This year none of our kids are in hockey so I feel like it is going to be such a break.  Of course life will still be busy with the focus more on music this year.
