So we're taking it a bit easier with our school schedule lately. Dude doesn't like Leaf so i just stopped using MFW K at all for a bit. I'm just focusing on finishing up 100 Easy Lessons and he's doing great. The only thing I think he's really missing out on is the math in MFW K. It's just so stressfull to pull everything out, drag it all to the table, keep Dude's attention and keep baby Princess and grandma entertained all at the same time while keeping the house clean as required. So, for this season in our lives, we'll have to fall behind again, but I don't know what else to do.

We did have a fun but severly stressfull week last week.lol. It all started with a field trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. That part actually went well... a little too well perhaps and the kiddos didn't want to leave. My plan was to meet Daddy-O in the town he was in on business and spend the night with him since we weren't going to see him for a few days. For some reason the kiddos didn't like that idea and I think Ninja was tired out from the concert she'd attended the night before.

We hit several snags. There was traffic on the way out of Monterey that was backed up very badly, then I got lost in Santa Cruz, I kept stopping to look for extinct pay phones to update Daddy-O on our slow progress and then the fog rolled in. I don't think I've been that stressed out driving in a long time. It was pea-soup thick and my wipers weren't working which lead us to breathe heavily which fogged up the inside of the windshield and I couldn't get the defroster to work properly!

Thanfully we made it out of the fog but since I wasn't smart enough to print out a map or even write down directions first, I got lost again in San Franciso. But at least the kiddos got to ride across the Golden Gat Bridge. LOL!

Needless to say we all did a lot of praying on that trip and we found Daddy-O at Peir 39 and had some lovely clam chowder.

Next time though, I'll let Daddy-O enjoy his business trip alone.
