Rain
Lots and lots of RAIN!!! Arrgghh! It's a steady rain.. not quite drizzling yet not a downpour. My grass and flowers are getting a great watering. I am going to have a kick-ass lawn this year! Go Mother Nature!! Heh
I kept the eldest beast child home today, just in case. She is, literally, at the top of her class in reading and math. She and P were doing multiplication at the dinner table the other night. Now, she comes up to me and asks "Mom, what's 873 times 2964?" Gee - let me use my brain calculator honey! (2,587,572 if anyone wants to know)
While O was at school, M and I went to the library and picked out more books. I picked out a few of the Father Dowling mysteries by Ralph McInerny. They look interesting. I also picked up some books about homeschooling - just for some information. I really plan on doing a lot of stuff with the girls this summer. O is doing great in preschool. She knows her alphabet (of course), can count to 23, knows her phone number, her address and is really quick to pick things up. She has 2 more years before she starts kindergarten. I guess she just has to work on handwriting and reading.
M and I also stopped at a local thrift shop but didn't see anything good. People were leaving with tons of stuff! I think I have bad luck with thrift shops. LOL.
Needless to say, we are all at home. M is in her room, counting all her loose change and O is watching the Wiggles Safari. Time to feed 'em some lunch!
