Take me out to the ballgame!

Jasmine is now employed with the Corporation in charge of all catering, concessions and luxury suites food items. She is a runner who delivers food and beverages to the 71 luxury suites. She is working 6 out of the 7 homestand games. She is very busy between school and working- we rarely see her on homestands. They had a job fair to hire more workers and I interviewed for the Dessert Cart attendent and was hired for the summer season. There is usually 1 day game during the week per each homestand. Ben is old enough to babysit now. I will leave about 1-2 hours before the game starts. Jas needs to get there about 3-5 hours before game time. I will be using the funds to hire a tutor for Ben- his reading speeds needs to increase much faster.

Kenny finished his phonics reading book this morning. He is now reading 5 pages in the Abeka readers and just last night- picked up a book in his room, climbed into bed and started reading all on his own!!! THIS is a huge step in his reading process!!! I was so excited to see him taking the inititive to read! We celebrated by going to the ballgame-just the 2 of us!!! We had such a good time. They handed out BINGO cards for us to track the defensive and offensive plays. It really helped us learn the game and scoreboard plays.

Ben went to work with Dad for the Take your kid to work day. It was strange not having him here with us.

I worked on clearing out the debris around the plants and flowers last night as Ken rode his bike with a neighbor and Ben split wood. It was a little scary to see him with the ax but he is fine and it is a good hand-eye coordination skill to develop and muscles to make stronger.

Our yellow daffodils was just starting to bloom. The poppy flower plant is quite large and the bleeding hearts bush are ready to bloom also. The hostas are just breaking ground.

Dad is preparing for (fishing)Opening Day- May 3rd.

Jas only has 3 more weeks of college classes - she has several more big speeches to give and the Spanish final to study for. The Homeschool Dance is next Friday night. Her dress is gorgous and she is looking forward to her date with Dad that night.

Time to get these boys off to bed and prepare for a "real" schoolwork day. We all enjoyed our break from routine but it will be good to have a "normal" day of school tomorrow.

Blessings- Sarah
