Sep. 19, 2008 - Cruising right through September
September brings the end to the lazy hazy long days of summer. Fall is upon us. This is one of my favorite times of year. We have begun to get into our routine of school with Co-op starting Sept 8. The beginning of September started off with a 1 week long hospitilization of my dear grandmother. She got food poisoning from visiting a friend in a nursing home. She had 1/2 of a chicken salad sandwich in their cafe. She was so very sick for days and days. She is just now getting back on her feet.
We remembered 9/11 this month. I can still recall this day; It was my first year homeschooling. I remember getting a call from my sister Dana to turn on the TV to see the twin towers in New York. I was working on Canada geography with Emily.
Lauren asked me if she could watch the World Trade Center DVD, I let her. She asked a lot of questions following it, but I'm glad I did let her view it.
Michelle has started her new routine. She is going to Primrose preschool twice a week., She goes to CHASE co-op on MOndays with us and on Wednesday goes to IU13 for speech therapy. She is holding up well with all these changes. She is in need of a long nap each day. Therapy for speech is moving slow and is a lot of work for her. 45 min of "K" sounds is a lot for me to listen to so I can imagine how Michelle feels.
This week we did some extra work on Civics. Here's a website some of you might enjoy. There are quizzes for citizenship, government and american history. The website is www.history.com . Both my older girls visited this site and enjoyed it..
Jim has been away for the last 2 week for his job, which leaves me to keep things going.
We tried a new recipe this past week for supper. Tater tot casserole from the Kraft Food magazine, it came out good. Lauren made a cake for my grandmother's birthday which was 9/17. She turned 83!
Not much else happening here, It will be October before we know it.
I have a breastfeeding conference to go to in Mid-October and in November we are planning a field trip to an aquarium with family and to visit PHiladelphia with the girls the following day.
