A's "Did Do" List

I may be only 3 1/2, but I had a busy day. Here's what I did:
- played "Great Adventures" with M.(9) and C. (11) in the playroom after breakfast
- watched "The Magic School Bus: Under Construction"
- inspired by MSB, built duplo "bridges"over the sinks in Mommy's bathroom
- ate a hot dog that went "into my neck and down to my tummy to make me grow!"
- played 2 games of Sorry with Mom ... I am such a good counter that I made it all the way around the board by the count of 12!
- played 2 games of Blokus with Mom - well, really we just tried to cover the board with the pieces, without leaving any holes
- said, "I'm tired" so Mommy tucked me in for rest time with my favorite book, Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day

With all of A,s gifts, I really have the feeling that God has something special in mind for him. I know his high level of giftedness requires an equally high level of management and disipline on your part. I pray daily that God will equip you to do it.

Sounds like a very busy day to me. I love the bridge - maybe he is an engineer in the making. I second Robert's comments about 'level of management.'

Homeschool Giveaway!

*******Update: the Giveaway is over. Go here to see the winner! Have a great year, everybody! Jolanthe at Homeschool Creations is sponsoring a Curriculum Cleanout. Now through August 15, lots of great resources will be recycled through giveaways. Have something that needs a new home? Need a few items to round out your curriculum? Then check out this great blog carnival that grows daily! My giveaway is for Exploring God's Creation Science workbook from Christian Liberty Press. First, I just want to say how much I love Christian Liberty Press! They are affordable, user-friendly, and have a solid Biblical worldview. This science workbook (we used it more as a "text") has information and activities on a range of topics in all the major areas of elementary science. It's listed in their 3rd grade materials, but we used it as a group when my kids were in 4th, 2nd, and K. (The first couple of lessons have some marks - before I got smart and photocopied the lessons.) Each cha...

The One About the Mer*ry Mai*ds

Ok, so here's the thing - someone had given me a gift card for Mer*ry Mai*ds (henceforth known as MM) two Christmases ago. After the summer craziness and a laid back attitude toward housework, I decided to redeem the gift card in the hopes of at least getting part of my house grime-free and ready for the start of school. So I called the local chapter and explained what I wanted. I knew that MM was expensive, so I told the lady I wanted whatever cleaning my $100 could buy me, starting with kitchen and bathrooms. She said that I could make an appointment for a consultant to come out and give me a free estimate. I reminded her I just wanted to redeem a gift card. Nevertheless, it seems to be MM policy that their "consultant" come out first. Fine . So I made the appointment for a Thursday afternoon. Day 1 of my schedule being cleared or adjusted for MM. Of course the kids and I spent Thursday morning frantically tidying up the entire house, so the house cleaning consultant (...

I'm Still Here!

Hello, Internets! I've missed you! I've been absent from the blog world for a while: we've had a couple of birthdays, a trip to Tennessee to visit family, and I've been working like a madwoman getting ready for school. But I'm still here! Now that school's beginning, I look forward to a more structured routine. I'll be around on a limited basis posting and visiting. I'm going to experiment with a new way of weekly reporting, so come back to see that if you're interested. Meanwhile, check out the fruits of all my hard work last night getting ready for today - our first day... (Notice there are no pics of M's desk - we moved it up to her room and she was still asleep when I took the pictures. I'll add it later, maybe.)
