Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Sorry it has been awhile since the last post. We have had a busy week!

Aunt M visited last weekend and left on Monday. She spent Sunday carving the Snow White and Mickey Mouse pumpkins for the kids.

Tuesday was a relatively uneventful school day. W was excited to be learning "algebra" in math- (X+2=5, X=3). He loves math! We started our unit study of farm animals for science. Our chapter book this month is Charlotte's Web to tie in with the Farm Animal theme. They are both enjoying it. I am never sure if K is paying attention. She stopped my reading and said "Now who's Wi-bur?" - so I guess she is! The picture of K wearing her "Positive Outlook" glasses was an activity from our Christian character study. We also made a big mess painting different kinds of paper with colors of the fall leaves.

As much fun as we have with school, Tuesday's highlight was a Fireballs win against the Blue Tigers. The Fireballs are now 3-1 for the season.

I took the kids to one of my clients' office on Wednesday - armed with a bribe for lunch at McDonald's and a trip to the Dollar Store for good behavior. That worked fairly well. However, before I paid off I took them for an experimental trip to the art museum since we were downtown anyway. I was surprised at how interested W was in exploring every room and hallway. I was not surprised at how soon K was ready to get out of there. (Were those security guards REALLY following us - or was that my imagination?)

Thursday we had an uneventful school day. K accompanied me to another client after Dad got home from work. He and W played football in the backyard as W usually prefers to do ALL the time. B wanted me to add that he folded a load of whites while I was at work.

Friday's plans were uncertain until the last minute. We decided to go to MaMaw's and play with the cousins to take advantage of a rare school holiday in their county. The kids had a great time. We popped in Nan & Pop's for a few and picked up K's beautifully hemmed Snow White gown. Thanks Nan! None of those sewing lessons you gave me as a child have paid off yet!

We wrapped up a long week by playing Mexican Restaurant for dinner. I cooked quesadillas, B stopped off at the store for chips and dip, and W and K delivered the food to the table. W loves to play waiter. K loves to do whatever he is doing!

Everyone have a great weekend!
