Good Two Days

I have been having a great few days. Yesterday, Cayce and I started rearranging our bedroom because we are finally getting a dresser. I can get boxes and tubs out of my walk in closet. Sammy started a new week of school. Yesterday, was an easy day and it flew by. There was a fun swagcode extrvaganza going on and I worked my butt off.

Today, it was rainy and cold, so the girls couldn't go outside and play, but I had a good day. I'm almost done with Adalyn's closet. Then, I have to rearrange her room. She is starting to jump up and down in her crib while holding on to the side. it is so funny, because she will giggle and wiggle at the same time. I talked to an old friend, that I haven't spoken to since my junior year of high school.

Going to go spend some time with my hunny now and watch tv and eat some brownies...YUM.

Goodnight.

Prep. Curriculum: Week 13

This week was all about cars and trucks. She loved it. The vocabulary word was gasoline.

She kept calling it daddy's car. I tried to find a coloring picture of the car that Cayce loves.
On Tuesday, we did the shape of a rectangle. She did an ok job drawing it.

On Wednesday, we did the letter M. she traced the outline all by herself. She can't do the little curves of the lower case m.

On Thursday, she had the day off for Thanksgiving. I was going to do some Thanksgiving crafts with her, but we were gone all day.

On Friday, we did the number 13. She is having trouble writing 3's.

WE'RE ADOPTED

Our family has been adopted for Christmas. Our neighbors who live down the road is doing a thing for their church and she has decided to adopt the girls. Her and her husband came over yesterday to meet the girls and give us a list of what the girls will be getting from them for christmas.

I'm so excited, I'm glad that the girls will be getting something for christmas.
We also signed up for stuff a bus,and the girls will be getting toys from that as well, and we will be getting food too.

Have a good day ya'll
GOOO BULLDOGS

Happy Thanksgiving

I had a great Thanksgiving. We went to Aiken and spent the day with Cayce's aunt. It was so fun. The girls had a blast paying with their cousins and they are knocked out. I loved being able to travel, I absolutely love car rides to different places and spending time with family.

I made a blessing loaf this morning for breakfast and it was amazing. I will post recipe and pic later.
Sammy didnt get to do her Thanksgiving lesson today, so, I'm going to have to triple her lessons tomorrow. I hate putting so much work on her in one day, so I'm going to break it up. One lesson after breakfast, after nap, and before dinner.

Well, I'm going to bed now. I am beat and I have so much to do tomorrow so we can get our tree up.

Plans for the rest of the week

We have alot to get done before Thursday. Tomorrow, I have to make some more progress on the kid's closets before the weekend. I have this huge tub of baby clothes in my living room and I have to go through it, and pull out bigger clothes for Addy and get her smaller winter clothes and take them to Once Upon a Child.

I'm working really hard on swagbucks to be able to get another box of wipes and get Cayce his other present before christmas. The way it seems, I might be cutting it close, but I'll eventually get it.

Tomorrow, Cayce has to go in, in the morning because they are not working tomorrow night. It might be a half day or it might go till 5 or 6:00. I have so much to do tomorrow. Samantha didn't do school today, so I'm going to double up on her lessons tomorrow and get her Thanksgiving lesson ready for early Thursday morning before we go to Aiken.

Hoepfully, I'll be able to post tomorrow night.
Night

Great Weekend

I had a fantastic weekend.I watched tv all day and I missed Cayce so much that I cried for the short amount of time he was home on his lunch break. I watched the new episode of Ghost Adventures on Friday night with Cayce.

On Saturday, we went to Blackville to visit my grandpa's grave for his birthday, and introduced Addy. Sammy didn't want to leave and she kept hugging his stone and kissing it. it brought tears to my eyes. That night, Cayce and I went to the drive in and saw Breaking Dawn 2. It was a great date, and I had so much fun. The girls spent some time with my parents while we were watching the movie.

Yesterday, Cayce and I stayed home with the girls and watched the other Twilight movies. We went to Walmart last night and we got some more ink for our printer for Samantha's school. She was happy to do school again today.

This morning, Cayce got up early to head to the food bank to get some formula and diapers, but we didn't get any. We got our 3rd turkey, and it is the biggest. We cooked our 2nd one today and it is so delicious. On Thursday, which will be Thanksgiving, we are taking our 3rd turkey to Cayce's aunt's house so she can fry it for us. We are going to be so sick of turkey, but we will have some food left over to last us.

Happy Holidays?

It doesn't feel like it is the holiday season. I don't want to even think about a new year. I have no idea what we are going to do next Thursday for Thanksgiving. We have our turkey in the fridge. We are supposed to go to Aiken to spend Thanksgiving with Cayce's aunt and her family.

I already have christmas presents coming in for the girls and I got Cayce his present the other day. We are being adopted my a neighbor down the road and we have applied for stuff a bus.

Have a good night ya'll.

Prep. Curriculum: Week 12

This post is very far behind. Week 12 was about ducks. Samantha played with her rubber duckies, and we made duck sounds. This is the week that I ran out of ink in my printer.

On Monday, she only got to color one picture of a duck, but we reviewed the vocabulary word, which was duckling.

On Tuesday, the color was white. So basically, we went around the house pointing out everything that is white. On Wednesday, she learned the letter L. She wrote the letter and said it pretty much all day long. She about drove me crazy, but I'm glad she knows it.

 

I gave her Thursday off from school to figure out how to teach her the number 12. On Friday, we counted to that number, and thats it. We didn't write.

 

I am ready to get some ink back in my printer so I can properly teach my daughter her letters and numbers.

Prep. Curriculum: Week 11

This weeks them for school was about the moon. She knew exactly what it was, so I helped her with the 4 different phases of the moon. The vocabulary word was Full Moon.

She had a heard time pronouncing the waxing moon and the waning moon.

 

On Tuesday, she learned about the shape of a crescent and what better way to teach her, is to print her a picture of a crescent moon.

Halloween was on Wednesday, so we read Halloween stories and talked about pumpkins. When we went trick or treating, the moon wasn't out, so she didnt get to see it until we were on the road headed home.

 

On Thursday, we resumed with normal school and she learned the letter K.

She is learning how to write by herself. I'm very proud, but every so often, I'll have to stop her because she gets carried away.

 

On Friday, we did the number 11. She liked writing it, but she didn't count that much.

 

Wednesday and Thursday

Sorry for not posting for the last two days. We have been super busy, getting ready for the weekend and for holidays. On Wednesday, we had to get up early to go grocery shopping, so Cayce could get to the fair grounds and sign our family up for Christmas assistance. We automatically got approved because we have food stamps.

Everyone is still talking about the election and how it was all about race and blah blah blah. I'm sick of all of it. So, I'm done talking about that.

Yesterday, Addy had her 9 month checkup. She is 16 pounds and 8 ounces. She is doing so good and she got three shots. After her doctors appointment, we went and got some groceries and we got our turkey. The past two days have been fun.

I will post week 11 od sammy's school later, and then this week's school probably tomorrow. She has next week off from school, and that will give me time to get focused again and ink for my printer.

I Am NOT Voting Today

I will not be going to the polls today. I dont like either candidate, I would chose the third party candidate, but I have no idea who that is. I am just ready for all this stuff to be over. All my african american friends are voting for Obama, and all my white friends are voting for Romney. It is just a big racial election, not for leadership. It's crazy.

Cayce doesn't have the day off from work, and it is cold and fixing to rain outside. I can't wait for the weekend.

Fun Day

Today didn't start off that great, but got better. Cayce went and paid some bills this morning and I didn't go because I had a terrible stomach ache. He brought breakfast home. We had Mcgriddles and McCafe's. I FINALLY started on Adalyn's closet, pulling out small clothes and putting in winter clothes. I'll finish by tomorrow afternoon.

We went shopping after I did dishes and more of Addy's closet. We looked at toys to get the girls for christmas and Cayce got more tools that he needed. We went to my parent's house after. Cayce raked leaves for my dad, and the girls spent some much needed time with my mom. I swear I have never heard my mom laugh so much at the girls. We talked about Swagbucks, and her work week.

When we came back home, we ate subway for dinner and the girls watched TV for the rest of the night till it was time for them to go to bed. Cayce found to 8 ft posts in the woods and plans on using them to expand our building.

Going back to my parents tomorrow to finish raking the leaves, and hoping to finish Addy's closet and start on Sam and Airy's closet.

Good Night Blogland!!!!!

I Hate My Data Plan

I have Straight Talk for my phone. I get the 30 dollar plan, because I can afford it, but I only get 30MB of data. I have so many Halloween pics on my phone that I cant get off because I have no more data. So, that's why I haven't posted in the last couple of days.

Anyways, today was good, then got stressful when Cayce checked the mail when he got off work this afternoon. Out mortgage payment has went up 70.00 because of our house taxes. It is so stressful that I dont think that we will be able to buy the kids christmas this year or have any money to get basic neccessities until tax time. Hopefully, Cayce will be able to get the county to come down on our taxes, and our mortgage company can put us back at our mortgage payment we have now or drop it a good bit. That would be amazing, but I'm not going to get my hopes up that it will drop.

Well, I'm off to bed. We have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow, and the kids will get to spend some time with their granny and papa (my parents).

Here is a quick exciting fact, yesterday morning, Adalyn started crawling. My baby is growing up before my eyes and it won't stop.

Good Night!
