2nd Day of School....more

As of this moment......terrible. :(
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I called Ed.
I decided that he will have to do reading and math with Katie if we are to survive this year. ;) I know it is only the 2nd day but I know her. It will be best for all of us. And we will be alot calmer and happier.
Ed on the other hand, didn't seem to thrilled. Well, she is his daughter too and if we are going to make the best of homeschooler her this will have to be. He doesn't have to sit with her the whole time. She will do the work as long as she knows he is here.

Since I don't have the KQ maps yet, I decided to use some of the booklets from http://www.homeschoolshare.com/ . They will work for now.

Tomorrow we will be working on the rest of the viking paper dolls, the maps and a few more booklets. Friday or Monday we will start Christopher Columbus. I'm not going to spend a long time on each explorer (from http://www.evan-moor.com Explorers History Pockets) 1. The girls get bored fast, 2. I can't wait to get to the colonial times. :)

An update on our tadpole. He's changing! The girls check on him every day. He is getting fat and shorter (as Katie says), and his legs are growing.

Becca is doing very well with her EMT classes. She loves working on the ambulance. When she first started she wasnt' to sure. I think she got a little nervous. But now she is studying hard to pass the finals. She still has some HAZMAT classes to take which I'm sure she will do a great job.

Off to do some laundry. I also have to get my Ana a birthday present. Her birthday is tomorrow and she is so excited. She's carrying around her cake plates and napkins along with the candle box. ~LOL~

Have a good night

P.S. At soccer last night, Katie kicked the ball from the front of one goal net and made the goal on the other side of the field!!! She was so full of energy there was no stopping her. I think she could run for hours at a time.
