Jan. 20, 2006 - My first week entry

Well here it goes. My first entry of a "school week.

Monday- We now have a friend Sam that comes over on Monday afternoons to play. The Sam's decided to write a book together called "The Sam's Book of Knowlege". So far it is two pages of animal facts and jokes. Of course my Sam is the one writing the facts, I don't think he can joke about animals. Bailey and I are writing a book about colors and numbersbut I am sure that the theme will change each time we bring it out. After our play date we go to Sam M's house for art lessons. This week they learned about the point of interest in paintings and made their own paddle boat drawings.

Tuesday- We went to story time at the library. It was not so great, I think we will try a new library. The kids did have fun making their own cats. Brett had the day off so it was just nice to hang with him.

Wednesday- We had our food co-op so the kids got to play with a bunch of their friends. We then had science class at the library. It was about fractions. I'm not sure that Sam was so thrilled. If he doesn't like it next time we will not go again.

Thursday- We had a lazy day since the kids were up the night before. We learned about raccoons and made masks. Then we had the usual errands.

Friday- In the morning we read for about 2 hours while cuddling on the couch. Bailey and I made pancakes for breakfast. We stopped at a local Itallian Deli and decided we liked it. I told the kids that their great grandfather was born and raised in Italy before he moved here when he was a teenager. We then went to the park for 3 hours because it was such a nice day outside. There are animals at the park and our friend Kiwi was able to tell us things about them that we actually didn't know. Sam is doing really well climbing the equipment which is a huge stride for him. Bailey just loves watching all the kids and talking about them.

For more details about our days I will list things in catergories on the opening page.
