Good School Day

It was definitely one of the better school days we've had in awhile. We got along, things were accomplished, no tears shed, generally speaking a good day. I'm particularly proud of Thing One. He has often struggled with writing; coming up with ideas, formating sentences, putting them in a good order. Today, we played catch up on a bit of school and one assignment was to write a Tall Tale about "The biggest fish I ever caught", based loosely off of Higgin's Bend Song & Dance. He stuck with it and finished it quickly, for him.

Thing Two had fun today with his art ~ we focused on Origami. He had fun making airplanes and learning how to make a sail boat/hat.
Well, now it's time for me to put my "house cleaning" hat on for awhile and get some chores done. Hope you have a great day!

Beginning of the week

It's the beginning of the week, it's the beginning of a new day. A day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I do have reason to rejoice today as well. When I sat down to lesson plan (think it was Friday), I realized I should have looked for school books at our local library sooner. If they don't have them on the shelve, it can take any number of days for an inter-library loan to come in. I put a few on hold; not much I could do but wait.

Chuckled this morning as I thought of my blog and the sidebar. I can easily add the picture of Thing One's book, but for Thing Two it would be a bit more difficult as I didn't know what book would come in or if I'd have to look at a different FIAR volume and see if I had any of those books. I figured I'd just put in question marks for his picture.

I checked e-mails just a bit ago. "Grandfather's Journey" came in and is available for pick-up. YEAH!! I'll swing by this afternoon with a few books that are due today or later this week and pick-up the books on hold. I'll be able to change the pictures on my sidebar later today.

Thanking God for the little things in life that can make me happy.
