I'm still here...

Well, I've not posted for a few days. All is well though.

School is still going really well. We've done more in the afternoons instead of mornings this week, as we've had other stuff going on in the morning. That actually seems to be going better, as we get it done while G is resting/sleeping. How cool is it that I've sat across the table and discussed Martin Luther and William Tyndale with my 5 year old. And today he was working on solving for an unknown in math. It was actually the first thing that's been challenging for him in math, and he got angry with me for telling him some answers were incorrect. A time-out for arguing was observed, and we managed to pull it together. Math U See rocks. Others in our district and another nearby sent their kids to Kindergarten today. Man...I'm thankful for our decision this year. We did NOT decide to keep him home because I couldn't let go, but it is a nice benefit of having made that decision.

In other news, G hasn't had an accident in 2 days. Could it be we've finally turned the corner???

I took the kids to have pictures taken today. They were fine, but the photographer was a serious NEWBIE, and we did NOT have a good experience. I managed to remain gracious, but I was fuming inside. The more I thought about it, I just was not happy, and my hubby and another friend encouraged me to call...so I did, and we're doing some retakes on Friday. I think I'll keep E's, as we got a pretty nice one, but for sure redoing G's, and maybe some of the two of them. What a hassle...but for the money, and to have to look at them on the wall for a year, hopefully it'll be worth it.

Big party for both kids' birthdays this Saturday. G turns 3 next Tuesday, and E will turn 6 in a little over a month. I decided to do the family party for both of them together. We'll see how that works. I have the cake and balloons ordered, and the meal planned, some of the food bought -- will have to get some of the stuff later.

Well, off to bed pretty soon.
