The weekend is over and I feel I have missed the boat somehow. Yes, we did get a lot of things done I wanted to but I feel we could have done more. That is, we could have, if we had been motivated. It seems even when a party looms in the near future it is hard for John and I to get everything done that both of us want done.
John has been working on a "picture" project. We decided a couple of weeks ago to replace the two picture frames with lots of pictures for one large frame for lots of pictures. While we both thought it was a good idea and would look good. I think we got something far greater than either of us expected. We went through pics of then and now to find some of our families. Some were hard, some very easy, all were printed in black and white. The "picture" turned out wonderful. I think John really likes it but he is down playing it a bit.
Jesse is adapting to having some homework. I didn't tell her it was coming this year because, well, honestly I just decided last week. The only homework she'll have is in math (and an occasional report) to do some extra sheets just to make sure she has it. She has spent most of the afternoon dragging it out. I think sympathy is what she is after but so not getting it. Yes, I've been told I'm tough and mean when it comes to school work. I just remember why I wanted to do this venture. I wanted my children to always have a teacher who cared if they learned. Who truly put forth an effort to make sure my children understood what they were learning and why they were learning it. We are still working on "why" for some things but I know the "teacher" cares and is working hard. I know when they are truly stuck and when they just don't want to do anymore (then it becomes snack time). lol
Chloe is excited about her birthday. Grandpa and Grandma are coming down for the girls' actual birthdays instead of to the party. I think they are excited about seeing people on their birthday along with their birthday party.
