This week

Posted in General
Well, this week we just plan to take it easy.  Since we are on a light schedule, we are very laid back and subsequently end up not doing a lot of stuff.  I don't know how this happens.  When we are actively working hard, we get almost all of our stuff done.  When we are doing "light" schedule, where we have only half of our usual assignments planned, we end up not getting a lot of stuff done.  I guess we just don't prioritize or focus during our "light" weeks. 

So we are going to just do a math review, K. will continue studying for her standardized tests, and A. will keep reading Charlotte's Web and I will hopefully start The Horse and His Boy with her this week.  We have been trying to start it since last week.  L. is just flying with her reading.  She is on week 23 of LA 1 but her reading level is well beyond that.  I have considered not finishing the LA 1 program because she doesn't seem to need it, but I think she actually does.  She needs the foundational phonics "rules" and the spelling and dictation.  So we'll keep doing it, even though she is now reading Level 2 readers very well. 

We had a very nice visit with my parents this past weekend.  We don't usually do much for Memorial Day, except travel, which is what we did this time as well.  LOL 

But K. had a great meet.  She is happy with how she did.  She came in 5th All-Around, 2nd on beam, 5th on bars and 7th on vault.  Not bad for a first Level 5 meet. 


It was great to have the family see her--my parents, my brother and sister in law, and my best friend who is essentially my sister, were all able to watch her.  And of course, her siblings and us.  We all had a very nice time!!! 

So that is all we're doing this week.  Next week is the "last week of school" for our area's public schools, so I want to enjoy our days now. 

God bless,
A.H.

You Are a Mac
You are creative, stylish, and super trendy. You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg.
You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You're totally weird and very proud of it. Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way. Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick
You Belong in Paris
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris. You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe.
What Your Pizza Reveals
Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either. You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US. Your taste in food tends to favor what's rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you. You are eclectic, stylish, and totally random with your choices. You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris. The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being average.
