Nothing too interesting happened here today. Got a little more housework done. Mom came over and made some phone calls and looked at the classifieds online.
I spent a good part of the afternoon arranging for "speakers" to come out to give a presentation/workshop to our "SLArizona Eastside Playgroup". I volunteered to be the "Eastside Speaker Coordinator" and also the "Mom's Night Out Coordinator". This is HUGE for me as I'm so shy and really mostly like to be a recluse, but I'm forcing myself out of my comfort zone and getting involved in things this year! My kids will be soooo happy!!! I'm part of two groups this year, my church's homeschool group, and the Sonlight Arizona Yahoo group. They each have a monthly park day. My church's one also has field trips planned, which is why I changed the focus of our history and science mid-year (for us). The Sonlight one has field trips which we probably won't attend much of, but they also have the Mom's Night Out and also co-op classes which we might do some of. I'm thinking of having my dd do the cooking class and we're putting each of the kids in a class at the YMCA. We just joined last week so we could get the kids in some "activities". We're going to have a busy year!!!
The kids got along pretty well together today, a little tiff here and there but nothing major. The puppy had alot of energy today though. I was constantly trying to keep her from jumping on the kids. I can't wait until she's a lazy old bassett!
The kids are wanting to start school. I'm hoping I can stall until next Monday so I can get caught up on the house. I got them interested in the math blocks and some games and that seemed to satisfy their itch for learning.
We rented The Shaggy Dog (the new one) last night so the olders could watch it. They got a kick out of it. Tonight they watched The Incredibles, another movie we rented last night. They can't get enough of the "superhero" type movies like Sky High, The Incredibles, Rescue Heroes, etc...
