Kindergarten Week 3

My mantra this week when Adam asked, “Did you do [such-and-such],” was, “Sorry, I didn’t get to it because we did….” I think I must have said this to him at least once a day.

The biggest accomplishment this week was Therese blending two sounds together fluently and Fulton mastering his short vowel sounds.  All of this was in the midst of transitioning Gianna to a one-nap-per-day schedule, a trip to the library where we checked out almost half the kids’ section, two field trips, and a couple of naps for myself!

Since Adam was off on Monday, we ventured out to Inner Space Caverns in Georgetown.  I hadn’t been to caverns since before we were married and Adam and the kids had never been.  It’s certainly one of those outings that you are in awe of God’s creations–His secret masterpieces.  Fulton LOVED it.  He kept saying, “This is awesome.  I like this place, Mommy.”  Perhaps he’ll study geology like Dr. Cey.  Therese on the other had was only happy when we left.

Today we went out to Pioneer Farms for their Home school day.  I hadn’t been out there in almost 10 years.  I used to volunteer there when I was in college with some of their events and actually helped restore the James Bell Homestead when it first arrived at the farm before they had the funding for the whole makeover.  I scraped many a wall of lead-based paint and filled many a hole with putty.  There was good crowd today but I was surprised and almost sad to see that whole housing communities have surrounded it.

I had to take pictures with my old film camera…hopefully the pictures will come out. I’ll post them later sometime.
