Tuesday - another fun filled day is apon us!

Today we have some great plans.

The chores have to come first. We have to put everything away and clean up the house as the maids are coming to clean the house. Then we have to finish organizing the garage, which should not be too hard, it is almost done (FINALLY!). And I have to replace the inside of one of our toilets, my favorite job. I will be doing that while Bill is home this morning, I told the kids last night when Marie wanted to come watch me do the repair, "Mommy says bad words when working on fixing toilets and she doesn't want any help". Marie replied, "o yea, I remember" and went back upstairs with Jake and Bill.

Last night the kids made model cars out of plaster molds. We painted them last night, but we need to glue on the wheels this morning. Homework went well, Marie is practicing reading - she read a leveled reader on her own where she got stuck on only one word (umbrella) last night, wooohooo! She is working on her math facts (addition and subtraction up through the 5's) and writing, working on answering questions in her first grade workbook and writing her first and last name with correct upper and lower case letters. Jake continues to amaze me, he had to pick out the item that looked different out of 4 objects and just whizzed through the worksheets, some of them were pretty hard, he also did some same worksheets - where he had to circle the same objects. He also worked on mazes which he again whizzed through. I thought it would be too hard for him, but he whizzed through the groupings worksheets as well, I presented him with 4 pictures and he had to choose which two belonged together. The final worksheet was a cause and effect worksheet, where he looked at the picture of what someone was doing and had to draw a line to what the effect would be, it took him about 5 seconds to complete that sheet. I am interested to find out what is going to be a challenge for him, but we have plenty of worksheets.

For fun, we are going to the Barnes and Noble story time, then we will play in the fountains at Bee Caves in the splash zone. We are meeting up with two other families there, so 6 kids in all, always fun times with other kids.

Happy Tuesday!
