October {First Day}

October 1, 2014

• Waking up way too early for my comfort lately, thanks to the boys getting up to go to school.




• Working into a school routine, but it still takes us all day it seems!




• Enjoying pancake breakfast on the 1st Wednesday of the month at the Y.




• Making a quick trip to Safeway for Zevia (Ginger Root Beer to calm my stomach) and fruit because that is all that sounds good to me after being sick. . . and later a tuna sandwich on toasted sprouted bread?




• Eating peanut butter, banana, apple, and honey sandwich (kids).




• Diffusing Peace & Calming to help the children focus on their school (wonderful stuff!).




• Moving along in Math Lessons for a Living Education.




• Taking over Malachi's logbook to help keep track of our day.




• Reviewing a new product - IXL.com Math and Language Arts.




• Keeping up on laundry (for now).




• Popping a balloon a day (with a treat inside!) to count down to the Feast of Tabernacles.




• Taking breaks throughout our day.




• Working on rhyming with Bo in All About Reading Pre-Reading.




• Struggling to get through our day at times.




• Pulling AAR 2 lessons out one week at a time is working well.




• Watching Bo set up his own math problems for me to solve from watching Mathtacular.




• Writing several reviews this week and working hard to get caught up so we can enjoy our time off for the Feast.




• Regulating downtime for the kids on the iPad, which means no movies or games - just educational apps.




• Receiving happy mail today ~ Teaching Textbooks Math 5 for Malachi.




• Taking selfies. (Elli) Love that one of her!




• Enjoying the rain. . .  and soccer practice, even if it means watching from the car!




• Linking up with First Day!
