Today's Events

My BIL came today to work on various jobs around my new house. He worked on the electrical in the bedrooms--but couldn't finish it today... He also remeasured and figured out a better way to do my cabinets in the kitchen which also = cheaper! Yay! Oh, and I finally can put up curtains in the office and our bedroom, that way my Romanian neighbors (there's three or four men and one woman--a family, I hope!) won't be able to see in at night. Phew! ;-)

C and I went back to our good ole' home, the warehouse, and cleaned up for my sister. She was glad for that. It's nice in there without all our junk covering the whole place. They had the A/C installed...the day we moved out. Go figure.

I started planning for C's homeschool preschooling. I made the plan for September and it's very exciting for me! He will be learning the colors: red, blue, yellow, and orange. He will also learn about "big" and "small" and the shapes: circle and square. We will do worksheets together on the objects, followed by a project that ties it all together. For example: week one he is doing circles and the color red, so our project will include both things. I plan to take him on an "outing" every Friday; stuff like the park, library, etc. as I learn what's available here, and depending on the weather. It's really nice to have the time to spend with im in this way.

I also bought trash cans today. Very exciting.

You are so much more organized than I am and C. is two years younger than N! This is what I sound like... "Yeah, we're going to start some kind of kindergarten this year. I'm not sure what we'll do, maybe work on reading, maybe just spend some time playing educational games. We'll see."
:)
I'm so glad you're enjoying your time with C.
