No Weekend Plans

All of this weekend's plans have been scratched. We don't have any gas or money to go anywhere, so we are going to stay home. My brother brought a bunch of clothes and toys over yesterday for the girls, and I have a lot of planning to do for Sammy and Airy's school. I have a lot of things to back up on the computer and I have to organize these closets. I will take pictures of the stuff we got yesterday.

Also, my phone cant send picture texts until Tuesday, so when I do my letter curriculum post tomorrow, it will be missing a couple of pictures, and then I will upload the rest in a different post.

Sickness

We have been battling a sickness since Sunday. Cayce woke up early Sunday morning with a sore throat and really bad cough. He ended up taking Monday and Tuesday off work. They started treating him for bronchitis. He got an inhaler. He went back to work yesterday and the girls started showing signs of sickness. Samantha and Ariana are so stopped up that they sound funny while they are talking. Adalyn has a bad runny nose and cough.

Cayce was doing so good yesterday, but he ended up coming home from work early because he completely wiped out. He was 75% better this morning. Now, I'm getting stopped up and my throat is so freaking scratchy. I got a cough and got a stomach ache.

I'm hoping that I will feel a little better tomorrow. I can't be sick on Saturday because it is the first Georgia football game of the season.

Well, I'm gonna go relax

Planes Workshop #2

On Saturday, the girls had another workshop. It was another Planes, and they built El Chupacabra. I thought it was be small and thin. It was bigger and thicker. It was so cute.

Letter Curriculum: Week 16

This week was a little hectic. Samantha kept wanting to call the letter m, L. I kept getting annoyed and frustrated with her. It seemed like she didn't even want to do school this week. The only good day we had was on Wednesday. I'm not going to explain much, just put the photos and caption them.

Monday:

These were the books for the week

Tuesday:

  These two photos above were the months. These were for her math lesson.

This was the second part of her math lesson which was matching.

She loved coloring baby Moses!

 

Wednesday:                                                                                                                                      

Thursday:

Cayce got me this calendar along with another blank white board for Ariana's school. It's prefect.

   Friday:

The only thing we did on Friday was this workbook. I was a wreck on Friday and had a lot going through my head.                            

Adalyn's got GLASSES!

Back on August 5th, Adalyn had to go visit a eye, ear, nose and throat doctor for her left eye. Her eyes do align with each other. They gave her a prescription for glasses. Cayce went and got the prescription filled the same day and finally got the call to get them last Thursday.

Cayce definitely wasn't thinking when he picked out the frames, only the color, because the glasses don't fit onto her nose, and we need a strap to hold them in place so she don't take them off.

Here are Addy's 1st and hopefully last pair of glasses.

We had to hold her arms down and keep sliding her glasses back multiple times before we could get a picture. She looks so cute.

I'm hoping that they will straighten her eyes somewhat by her next visit next month.

Puzzle Time

Cayce did some puzzles with Samantha and Ariana during the weekend. I want them to learn how to put regular puzzles together along with the big chunky piece puzzles. I printed off a kindergarten readiness checklist a few weeks ago and the very first thing is put together a 10-12 piece puzzle. So the puzzles that Ariana got for her 2nd birthday, was used.

Letter Curriculum: Week 15

This week was the letter L. We had a little bit of a hard time this week because she kept forgetting the letter, and saying the whole alphabet over and over again. it was frustrating, but we worked on it.

 On Monday, it was a good day. We read and got the the whole lesson done in 45 minutes. I love the book above.

 Her math lesson was about lines. I don't know how lines fit into math, but whatever, she had fun making lines.

 The lady bug and lamb are for her bible story.

 This is the day where everything started going down hill. She refused to say the letter when i know she knew it.

 Her science lesson was lions and lobsters. she didn't like talking about either of them.

On Thursday, we just did the workbook because I was not feeling great and Samantha was just having a bad day all around.

On Friday, I was planning on doing her lesson in the morning time, but that didn't go the way as planned, but we still did a 1 hour lesson to make up for Thursday's missed work and extra line pages.
