Feb. 8, 2006 - Happy Wednesday!
I haven't been able to sit down and write as often as I had thought I would when I started my blog. Since we've started homeschooling both Ryan and Madison, things have been very hectic around here. Add to the homeschooling my being part of the steering team for our MOPS program at church, my son's part-time job and his rugby practices starting back up and there is not much time left in my day.
Yesterday we spent a good part of the day switching out bedrooms. My son was in the bedroom in our basement but has decided that he wanted to join us upstairs instead of being down there all by himself. I'm happy because now I won't feel like he's always away from us so much. So--we had to move all of his furniture upstairs into the room that the baby was sleeping in, then move the baby's bed and items into Madison's room. Now we will use the dowstairs room as a playroom for the kids. We had also purchased a new larger bed for Madison, so we took this time to set it up as well. The room is a large one, so it fits both girls fine. Madison was very excited about sharing her room with the baby. There is a 5 year age difference between the two of them, but my sister and I shared a room for many years and we are also 5 years apart. So, I think it will be o.k. for now. I also just ordered a new quilt set for Madison's new bed. It is so pretty--I love the frilly girl stuff and so does she.
Today we have library story-time. Madison loves it and it's a nice free activity that we can get out and do. It also gets us to the library once a week, which we love. I need to find a couple of read-alouds for our schooling over the next week or two. We just finished
The Hundred Dresses and it was a really good book. Madison enjoyed it and even Ryan was interested in how it would end. We love books in this house!!!

I random blog to your little home on the web. I am a MOPS junkie too. Since my oldest is 13 and my youngest is 4 I've doing MOPS a loooong time : ). I also loved your post about daughters. There's just something about having a child who shares your passions.
Blessings,
Barb
