Turn Around
I am really thinking that we made some sort of breakthrough after yesterday. Last night Blazer tried to make amends for his behavior through the form of a letter. He said it was sent via airmail and just arrived from the North Pole. It said: Dear Meghan and Andrew, I made a list. I didn’t …
Carnival
Whew! This morning has been crazy! We started off by completing another math lesson and reviewing for the Latin quiz tomorrow. Then I had to get 3 kids dressed, fed and ready to go for the End of Summer Carnival one of the moms from the ECHO group put together. I wish I had any …
Fairy Houses
On Thursday we met up with our ECHO group to build fairy houses and do a lesson on trees. The hostess did a fantastic job with the kids. We talked about the different parts of the tree and most kids got to wear or hold something symbolic to represent that part of the tree. Blazer …
City Day
Whew! What a day! Some moms in my ECHO group thought it would be a good idea to teach the kids how to ride the bus system. So we met at a mom’s house, walked to the bus stop, and rode the bus downtown. The bus stop from the mom’s house was a few blocks …
Month Review
Happy Friday and last day of April. I am looking at the calendar we use for school hanging on the wall and am more than a little embarrassed to confess that while it says it April, all the days still line up with March. I am now officially two months behind. I am hoping to …
Mama’s Doing the Crazy Dance
To be honest, three kids is kicking my butt right now. My days have been a blur that involve waking up with Miss C leaking through her diaper (despite being changed), mounds and mounds of laundry involving some combination of spit up and poop, changing diapers, bathing children, and spending four days or more on housework just to …
First Day Alone
It’s noon on my first day with all three kids by myself. I have to say I am so thankful for my mom and Papa Bear being able to come and stay with me. Now I am feeling pretty fully recovered (ie can walk up and down the stairs and feeling rested) and everyone had to …
Week in Review
This week has flown by and I’ve been too tired most days to update the blog…so I’ll try and get it all in today! Sunday Blazer officially turned 6. When I asked him how it felt he said “Fine, but my voice hasn’t changed yet!” This was a great concern to him and I explained to …
Winter Ice Cream Fun
We spent Monday morning taking a tour of Graeter’s Ice Cream with the ECHO group. The tour was very informative and fun for the kids. Blazer was especially curious about whether the guide had ever heard of Dairy Queen and if the guide knew how long they had been in business. After the tour, the guide did …
PT Reptiles
We had an extra fun ECHO meeting on Monday with Peter from PT Reptiles. He came and did a presentation with the kids that was tons of fun. We saw 2 snakes, a trantula and Blazer even got to hold an alligator! Some of the kids were nervous about touching one of the snakes, so I …
