Today’s School Prep Activity was computer prep. We have two computers. I went through and made a list of what school games were on which, then deleted school games and arranged the ones we are still using so there wouldn’t be unnecessary overlaps. I also loaded up our new games. We are adding a Latin Roots game and a new Math game this year. Next will be to go through and list which game is appropriate for which child. Organizing is SO FUN! Later on, Brian and I will have to clear of the computer table area.

Today’s outings were to the library to get a book that I had called in from another library. I thought Gavin would like Watership Down. The boys each played for 30 minutes on the internet there. I picked out a selection of small, paper back chapter books for Connor to read. The boys choose some videos and I found 3 computer CD Roms for them to try.

Gavin has his one hour piano lesson today. After that, Brian is taking me out to dinner. I guess to make up for being icky on Sunday and hurting my feelings. But going out to dinner is so boring. I want to go rock climbing.

I need to get a sensory diet action plan for Ki. I think it’s time for new morning routines for the boys. I think I want them to have personalized routines.

Hey, did I mention that I weighed myself on my friend’s scale and it was a little better… I know there is NO WAY I am 128! That YMCA scale must be really off! 123 maybe….. 128? I don’t think so. Funny how I fell better with the new number- yet my body is the exact same as it was last week when I was on the YMCA scale…. Sad isn’t it?
