This is my second week home schooling Andrea. It is going well so far. We are learning about the solar system in science. Learning about the American Indians that lived in Virginia. In math, we are finishing the chapter on arrays. In English, we are working on her writing in blog form as well as working on her reading comprehension. Last week we covered the string instruments and this week will be another type of instruments. She created a octopus and a rainbow mosaic after learning a little about the mosaic and getting to see some famous ones.

Alyson is learning all kinds of things like how to try to boss me around which isn't working to her advantage. She is growing so fast and her speech is improving daily.

I love my kids but I have to say that at the end of the day I'm one exhausted momma.

On a side note, we are going down to WV this weekend, so Andrea has a short school week.

Have a great week everyone :)

First Snow of the Year in the Richmond Area

Well, my kids are happy.  They get to sleep in tomorrow since they have a snow day. We got our first snow of the year this weekend with any real accumulation.   We probably got around 3-6 inches, I'm not real great as measuring the amount. On an exciting note, we finally got to use the snow blower that we purchased last year. Yeah!!!!  We got it last year and then it never snowed again, doesn't that figure. LOL.  Well, Jenna and I took it out and dug out the driveway and front walkway in under 3 hours. Which is a vast improvement from the 6+ hours last year that Keith, Jenna and I worked to get the cars out. Alyson went out to play in the snow and lasted maybe 1/2 hour. She came in and told me she was done with it. She said that "you can't get anything done outside because it so cold".  That made me laugh. Dre didn't want anything to do with the weather. She has been closed up in her room as teenage-dom requires. LOL They called off work on Saturday bu...

Catching up yet again

I haven't been on here in so long. I have had a busy few months. I was working for a while but then our sitter quit. So I'm now staying at home with Aly and Andi. Aly is growing really fast and is talking up a storm. Some words are really distinguishable and some just sound like a new language. We are trying to potty train her and she is resisting. Maybe she's not ready. Andrea is in the middle of her own battle, her weight. For those of you who know us, she has always been little. Well, after speaking with the doctor about this issue, we were trying pedia sure. (That stuff is expensive.) Almost a year later she has only really gained like a pound. So now the doctor wants to have her blood checked for a thyroid problem. She may have hyperthyroidism, or that is what he is thinking. well, any thoughts are appreciated.
