Well we're still hanging in there.  A month in and both kids are still alive.  My house isn't it's cleanest but I manage to have clean clothes, clean dishes, and food.  At least most of the time. 

We've even begun to slowly start up school.  Just math and LA but it's a start.  We've actually started yet another new LA program.  The new SL LA still doesn't thrill.  It's better then the old but still not a good match for us.

Now we're using First Language Lessons. So far so good.  It's mostly oral, which thrills Mackenzie to pieces and each lesson takes under 10 minutes.  In the last 3 days we've done 9 lessons.  Mackenzie doesn't want to stop doing it.  Always a good sign.  So along with that we'll continue using A Reason For Handwriting and A Reason for Spelling.

Math is going well. Only 2 more lessons in Alpha.  Then we'll finish up the year with Singapore Primary 1.  It covers some things that she'll be tested on that aren't covered yet in MUS.  We'll begin MUS level Beta in the fall.

We'll probably start back with the core work the week of the 24th. Next week we have family coming in so that will make schooling hard.  We just can't catch a break here.

Kayleigh's having her own version of school.  Bottle feeding 101.  We're working on training her to take a bottle so daddy can participate in her feedings too.

She didn't take to it as easily as Mackenzie. But then again we had daddy here then to do the training himself. Mackenzie and I tried but it was difficult to do with me around.  So we shipped her off to various friends to do the bottle training. 

Kayleigh had her "final exam" yesterday and we passed her.  But only with a "B" cuz she likes to "play with her food."

Kayleigh is a month old already.  Time goes by so quickly with little ones.

She's a bit more fussy then Kenzie was but still pretty good.  She pretty much hates the car.  Screams about 75% of the time in the car/carseat.  If that doesn't end I will not EVER be traveling with her to visit family.  Sorry, but my sanity is important. They can come here.

Here are some pictures to enjoy...

Mackenzie put together Kayleigh's play gym all by herself.  And it was a bit of work.

Stinky feet

Kayleigh's first bottle.  Mackenzie was THRILLED! Kayleigh not so much. LOL

Officially 1 month old. Sniff, sniff
