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!
