Beginning Our Journey
Aug. 19, 2008
Just some Happenings.
So I failed my 1 hour glucose test and had to go back for a 3 hour. BLAH. That was icky. I am waiting on my results today. If the shaky feeling I had after the test was any indication of how my body reacted... I would guess bad. But still holding out hope! until the phone rings.
Our awesome friend Danielle
brought us over some monarchs. They are both in their chrysalises and we are excitedly watching them for our new butterflies! This is the neatest hands on learning I have ever done. For me anyways. I am LOVING seeing Gods beauty and work in front of me. We had them last year also.
We have some fuzzy moth caterpillars also. but I am not sure what is going on with them. Since I never had them, it is a new learning experiance. Are they dead or alive in there. right now they are all huddled together on the glass and have not eaten since yesterday morning. Before they were devouring their leaves. So I am not sure what is going to happen. But I am hoping they spin cacoons because then I can do a comparisson with Alyssa and difference between moth and butterfly caterpillars. But I must admit, these fuzzy ones are freaking me out a bit.
Tristan is on steroids. His appetite is here full swing!
Justin and Dad put in a new floor in my kitchen! I have pictures but they are on the other computer. So perhaps tonight I will get them uploaded for you all!
Justin also made me new mulch beds and put up crown molding in the kitchen. Boy that was a treat... let me tell you. Learning experience for sure! It is ADORABLE when Tristan helps daddy. He wants any job he can get. Justin was letting him use the nail gun! Just what I wanted a 3 year old to be taught. :)
I had a great friend over last night. Carrie came over and we had a really nice evening. We went over her homeschool schedule and I assured her that she was indeed right on track. I think she is going to be a NATURAL at homeschooling. She and her her husband used to run a daycare and they have the teaching skills. I have complete faith in her! We went to grab a bite to eat and then to the Thinking Cap.
Dangerous store for a homeschooler I tell you! It was nice spending time with an old friend. My kids entertained her and showed off the entire night!
And that is about all my updates for today. I will try to get new pictures up later when I have more time.
