Aug. 1, 2006 - Time Well Spent
Well, the time with my husband was amazing. We didn't think it would take all 4 days to get everything painted, but guess what?!!! Would you have guessed it would take that long to prime and paint a hallway, strip wallpaper in the dinning room and prime and paint those walls, fix a hole in the living room ceiling from water damage, prime and paint those walls and prime and paint the ceiling, prime and paint dinning room furniture and recover the seats. What were we thinking!!!! But it's all done now...thank the Lord!
It is really nice to have everything in its place now. We turned our dinning room into our TV room and our living room into the dinning/school room. There was no way to get the table, 6 chairs and all the school stuff in our dinning room. All the school stuff was stacked everywhere. It made school more hectic than it needed to be.
Now we have everything on shelves. Each kid has a shelf with a school box for their supplies, their books, and stuff they use. Actually my oldest has two shelves.
My oldest is very excited about school. We aren't sure when we will actually start. I was going to start next week, but my husband wants to go camping for a few days and so that throws it off. Then the next week I am taking care of my neice's for 4 days. So it looks like we will be starting in two weeks.
My 4-year-old asks me everyday to help her write her name. My oldest knew how to write her name when she was 3 and her name is Meredith. But my 4yr old struggles with it. It's just 5 letters, Megan. My 3yr old can write his name, but it's only 2 letters; Ty. I guess some kids need a little extra time. My 2yr old wants to write his name, but I think that's a little too soon.
It has been very hot here the past few days..98 yesterday and 99 today. It is miserable. You can't even go out and play. We went to a movie this evening. They have something called "Saver Tuesdays", tickets are only $1.50. We saw Over the Hedge. It was cute.
I hope everyone is finding ways to beat the heat this summer.

I'm so glad to hear of how organized things are for you now. I can just imagine the difference. Camping will be much better than starting school, fun family time! Take care!
