Today was just plain FUN! With capital letters!!! We woke up early, early to make Daddy his oatmeal, but that ended up getting us on the right foot. I was able to get both kids fed, dressed and teeth brushed, and myself fed, exercised and shower and ready for the day, with all the beds made and breakfast cleaned up, all by 9:00 a.m. This is my goal time for starting 'school', so I felt pretty successful for being on schedule.

C&C had another tough day of learning 'I and i'. Our lesson was short and sweet, so we had a little time to play a 'game' to reinforce our learning, then we were off to 'reading' time. Today we started out reading in the teepee....which was fun, but I am not as young as I used to be, so I quickly headed the kids to the couch for our remaining books.

After reading time, we ran a quick errand to the grocery store, and then we were off to gymnastics and then playgroup. Of course, I found out after gymnastics that there was no playgroup, so we crashed a friends home and hung out there an hour or so. The kids hadn't seen any friends in a couple of weeks, so it was great fun for all of us. I always enjoy getting to catch up with my friends too!

On our way home, we had one errand left....HAIRCUTS! The kids both did great....of course, SUCKERS are a great motivation for any child. Chloe got about 2 inches cut off her hair, but it looks great! We are both looking forward to no ponytails for a while.

When we got home, Christopher was REALLY asking to play STARFALL again, so he and Chloe both took turns on the big computer again....what fun that is! They both did amazing with the mouse.....still such a strange thing. To think, my generation didn't even have a computer in our home when we were that age....hummmmmm

Here's a shot of the addicts at work:

Notice how Chloe is 'sitting' beside Christopher...paying attention, and trying not to distract him?!

Now, notice Christopher laying on his side, hanging onto the table....BOYS WILL BE BOYS!

Here's a picture for Ruthie....the kids with the t.v./computer in the background....pretty cool, huh?!

Now, notice, Chloe is doing the letter 'i'....

Christopher finished 'i' and wanted to do three more letters.....he even played the games for each letter. I was pretty impressed....OK, so I know I am the Momma, but still.....

Thanks for reading about our day! Hope yall had a great one too!
