Lost Game

For Katie's birthday last month, I had gotten her the V-tech handheld game with two games. She received alot of birthday money so I thought that would be the best thing to get her. It helps her to sit still for awhile. Well, it's gone. I'm afraid she may have left it at the ice cream store on Thursday and I didn't realize it. I really thought I had put it on her shelve but I just cannot find the thing. I even searched the cars, the garage, pulled out the living room and searched under beds and in kitchen cabinets. I feel sick about this. Ugh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY, ANA!

Happenings



We have started doing school work a little bit each day. It's going to be quite interesting considering Katie cannot sit still. She can read though. I gave her a few Bob books to read and she did. She can also read from the BJU reading/spelling charts for grades 2-6. I think we should get her IQ checked.

We are going to try and switch her primary dr. to a dr. that is also a DAN doctor. He takes our insurance!! That is good because it can get quite expensive and we cannot take her for regular checkups at the other DAN dr. I do need to get her vitamins checked to make sure she is still taking the correct amount.

Ana loves her "work". She is doing a Pre-k Language Arts book. She has already done at least 50 pages since Monday. :) She gets mad when I take the book away. ;) She also tries to read the 'Bob books'.

Tom has started Math, Latin, Reading...The Case for Christ, and a wordsearch book (U.S.A.).

Becca is finishing her biology, and is getting ready to buy some fish for an aquarium. She will be starting the Apologia Marine Biology and asked if she could do this. I think it is a great idea. (Dad's not to happy...he doesn't like alot of animals around, except for the dog.)

She has also started reading for her Amer.Lit/History. She is going to be reading some good books and will learn alot.

Ben hasn't started yet because we just ordered his stuff. We are pretty excited for everything to get here. I can't wait for the Spanish.
I changed the kids homeschool subjects on the left side :)

My blog header

I don't know if you have noticed or not but, my blog header is getting larger. Everytime I change it I have to change the "#" on the html and it gets larger. Now what? If anyone knows what to do, please tell me. Thanks so much.

Adding/Subtracting from my blog

Today I've been trying to get my blog in order. On the left I'm putting all the kids' pictures and homeschool grades, lists, etc. On the right I have prayer buttons and some other stuff. Not everything is going to fit so, I think I might take the Austim books I've read and put them on my reading blog. I haven't done much reading but it will make the blog look better! ~LOL!~
