Good week of school. GREAT week in terms of our move to Sioux Falls, SD. Went into contract, had the inspection on Friday, appraisal is tomorrow. Things are progressing on that front just fabulously!
We had gotten behind on our schedule because both kids had been sick for a couple of days. So it was catch up with history and science (no new week started in our curriculums), and S and J simply proceeded with their math and grammar from where they had left off before their illnesses.
The highlights of the week belong to my youngest, M DS'07. When it came time for lunch one day, he came toddling into the kitchen and said, "Mama, (garble garble garble) butter jelly, please?" I knew what he wanted....a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, his favorite right now. It was the fact that he used his manners that threw me for a loop! Now, he doesn't always ask for something this politely, but, hey, I'll take it! It was very cute, melted my heart.
The other highlight compliments of M was that he painted for the first time. Set him in his highchair; gave him a blank piece of paper and a paintbrush; put some paint in a paper muffin cup, and let the creating begin! He had a blast and S, J and I had a blast watching him. A glimpse of that day:
Anxious to see what next week has in store for us!!
