Small Successes

1.  A very successful Home Grown Activity Day as described below.  A few families couldn't join us, one was completely my fault...so sorry Sarah, everyone was missed though and we hope to see you soon.  The kids seemed to get a lot out of the lessons and the families all received valuable information to being prepared for emergencies.

2.  We have had a good learning week:

1.  We have covered Christopher Columbus and completed this craft from enchanted learning.  Carolina had fun making the little boats and the bigger kids did some good research on the life of Columbus. 
2. Carolina is working away in her Alphabet Path.  We started Dd week.  I hope to get a camera soon so I can document her work.  She is becoming a pretty good artist.

3.  St. Francis must be telling us something because we have rescued 2 dogs this week, given my SIL and her family a much needed hamster, and really learning to live in a state of charity.  Got a problem...come on over our door is open.

Small Successes

1.  I made it through our first Learning Record meeting (LR) with Joyce.  After arriving late from Monterey on Monday..like driving up the driving at 11:30pm I still stayed up until 3:30AM to complete the records.  Joyce was here bright and early at 8 and I was ready.  It felt so good to be done with the first meeting and have Joyce see all the good work we ACTUALLY did in the first few weeks of school.  Hurray for us!!

2.  I planned our menu for this week while grocery shopping and didn't spend one dollar on eating out!  Now that is an accomplishment for sure.

3.   I started writing Isabella's journal again.  After a wonderful talk with Kat I felt inspired to tell my Isa about it.  The actual talk wasn't written about only the idea of the topic from our conversation.  Which is a post all to it self.  Hopefully when Isa get's this journal (I started it when she was only a few months old but haven't wrtten in it in a long while) she'll have a bit of her momma's thoughts to guide her.
