trying something new, since I've been slacking so badly on blogging lately.
our dinner table conversations usually revolve around the events of the day, I'm going to try to record them.
so, here I am, with the laptop at the dinner table...
menu for tonight:
Hamburger Helper (cheesy hashbrown flavor) and spring mix salad
Katie took the math portion of the TAKS today. She thinks she did very well on it. The principal came by early in the day and sprinkled them all with magical fairy dust. Everyone in her class finished in time to go to P.E. She finished earlier in the day, and had several hours to read. Her book of the day is Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy. Her homework today was to balance a checkbook. Shayne gave her several figures to work with, and I tore out the middle unused section of the check register. She spent some time on the computer, then worked on her People to People thank you cards.
Anna's class is studying ancient Egypt. Her homework assignment this week is to build a model of a pyramid. We brainstormed several ideas yesterday and decided on legos. We completed the structure today. The most colorful pyramid, for sure! She found out today that one of her pieces of artwork was selected for the Young Masters Art Show next week. (Katie had one selected too.) She's been invited to attend a birthday costume party this weekend. I wonder what she'll wear...
Bethany went to Sonshine class this morning while I was at Ladies' Bible Class. They had a bug hunt and and made puzzles of the earth. There was a potluck afterwards, mostly grown-up food, but she ate some broccoli and coconut cake. We went to the library to pick up some books we had on hold, and she picked out 2 for herself: Counting Kisses and Counting Wildflowers. She also picked out the Scholastic Cinderella DVD that included stories of Hansel and Gretel, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and the Elves of the Shoemaker. (We haven't watched it yet.) She and mommy had an awesome nap - don't get to do that together much anymore.
Everyone is heading for bath and bed now. I'm planning on walking the neighborhood tonight - really feeling the need to move. If I can squeeze it in, I'll also watch my DVR shows - DWTS & Idol.
Hopefully we'll have another update in a few days!
