quick update

School is coming along.  We do have good and bad days…and last week when this happened just about everyday, maybe not ALL to this extent where red juice splattered all the way up to the blinds…

 

I called Shaun crying and thinking to myself…I don’t think I can clean up messes 3 times a day like this with everything else that I have to get done.  Luckily I was just exaggerating a little and after a good cry and coming to my senses, I decided that with a little help from above, I can do this. 

 

The boys are doing pretty well in their studies.  I will give a more detailed post on what exactly they have been doing…mostly for my records, since I am 3 weeks behind… Getting them to try and not whine and complain about doing things they consider “hard” and “boring” is another thing.  Once they get going though, they realize that it’s not so bad. 

 

We got to meet Caroline Bennett who wrote, Charley’s Columbia Backyard, on Wednesday at the preschool.  I had never read the book before and it’s really cute! The boys even got a signed book. 

 

Don’t look too excited boys!!  ☺ One of these days they will enjoy me taking their picture. 

A couple of Friday’s ago, the boys had a woodworking class with Shaun.  They learned how to measure, cut, hammer and nail, plane some old wood that Shaun had gotten, and do basic woodworking skills.  They learned about different tools and what the tools’ functions were.  I got a book entitled “Tools” from the library for them to look at. Just don’t mind their outfits…they picked out their work clothes☺
