I'm trying to blog every month so I figured I better get at August's post!
Yesterday the boys and I started their school. The day went very well, I was happy to see they were actually a little excited about starting. Josiah wasn't excited about the actual work but more about being a 4th grader! Yes, 4th grade...I have a 4th grader...*sigh*. Feeling...much....much older. I know we've officially started when I've got a computer on my kitchen table, paces spread across the other side of the table and a pencil box buried somewhere beneath a pile of "nice job!", "Wow!", Super Star!" sticker sheets. Also somewhere on the table is the book I am trying to read in between questions and complaints, my cell phone that just bing binged me (got a text from you Katie!), and my thumbdrive needed to back up Siah's work....oh and the usual kitchen table stuff, salt/pepper shaker and some napkins. :) Earlier this kitchen table was an art center for the up and coming, soon to be famous painter, Tara. :) She loves to paint and I love to let her b/c it keeps this 2 year old happy, content and very mucho busy for at least 30-45 minutes! Today we used an old poster board and some washable paint and she painted me a beautiful picture of who knows what! I did get a sweet little Tara hand print in there too! She also painted a little of her dress, elbow and lower lip...not sure if she sneaked a taste while my back was turned...hmmmm.
Here in about an hour this school/art table needs to be a dinner table so I'd better stop my bloggity blogging and get to cleaning and cooking!
Well a 4th grader isn't a 5th grader lol! When he gets to be a 7th grader that will be crazy.. I'm surprised you can still find your table under all that lol! BingBinngggg!! If I weren't working Saturdays we'd be chatting every afternoon I think. October is the last month but in December I'll hopefully on Hidden Valley Ski Patrol and back to working on Saturdays. I'd love to see some pics of Tara's artwork! Miss ya girl!
