Rainy May
|
Well it has been raining since last night. As most of you from around here know, if it rains on the first day of May it will rain a lot that month. Some farmer's saying I think. Well I don't know how technical this must be I think it started some yesterday, the 1st, but it sure is pouring down today. It's good for our water table, we need it for our fields. so, on this rainy day the kids are doing their schoolwork and diligently trying to get done with their work because they know that when they are all done, it's summer break. We are all planning on going camping the week of Perry's birthday and the kids can't wait. Me neither. It has been so busy around here that not only have I not had the time to blog, but I am yet again behind on my laundry. I have been working on our church's website too. Trying to keep it updated and also trying to add to it. It sure has taken up a lot of my time. This past week was also our last Monday school CoOp, and I am both sad and relieved. I love being with all the other homeschool moms and kids but it is also just one more thing on our already full schedule. We will meet again at the beginning of September. Emily has a couple of friends she wants to see over the summer because she can't stand to be away from them that long. That's my Emily. As far as karate goes, we are learning the sword in our weapons class and I am trying to teach the kids the Bo Staff. We hope to put a family demo team together for the summer or the fall. I am also working on my Tai-Chi, and I have not tested yet for my next belt, the 2nd degree brown, but I think I will be ready in a couple of weeks. We'll see. Karate class seem to continuously be interrupted by other things in my schedule lately. We had the Spring Program with CHE this last Thursday and this Tuesday i had book club meeting. The Spring program went well. The kids learned a lot this semester and I was very proud of my 1st-3rd grade French class, they did awesome. At the risk of sounding repetitive I am going to have to stop here so I can tend to my laundry. May God keep all of you, especially my friend Michael and all of our servicemen in Iraq and on other foreign soils. Bonjour la companie, ici il pleut. Je sais que c'est quelque chose qui vous est familie en Belgique, mais ici ils disent que si il pleut le premier jour de mai, il va beaucoup pleuvoir le reste du mois. Enfin, les enfants travaille sur leur cours, ils ont hate de terminer, car des qu'ils ont fini c'est les vacances. On va aller camper une semaine pour l'anniversiare de Perry et on a tous hate d'y aller. Je suis prete pour un break. On a eu beaucoup a faire ici et la semaine passee etait notre dernier jour d'ecole le lundi avec les autres enfants d'enseignement a la maison. On est un peu triste mais aussi ca fait du bien d'eliminer quelque chose de l'horaire charge qu'on a. Emily a fait des rendez-vous pour cet ete avec quelques copines qu'elle a rencontre cette annee ci. Du cote karate on aprend le katana (epee), et moi j'essaye d'aprendre le Bo staff aux enfants et on espere faire une equipe demo. Moi j'apprends le Tai-Chi et je travaille sur mon test prochain en karate. Je devrai etre prete pour le test du mois de mai. C'est dur d'etre pret quand notre horaire est constament interronput. Le jeudi dernier on a eu notre Programme de printemps avec CHE et le mardi passe j'avais un meeting de mon club de lecture. Le programme etait tres bien et j'etais tres fiere de mes eleves de ma classe de francais pour la 1ere-3ieme. Ils ont bien appris. Bon je dois y aller car les lessives attendent, et on a vraiment besoin que je m'y mette.Bisous |
