We recently got Joey's homework folder and study binder from school. I really like the way his teacher is very organized. We get the homework folder on Wednesday and it is to be returned on the next Wednesday, Study binder comes on Monday and goes back to school on Thursday..They also get quizzed on Thursday. The binder has laminated pages for study...ABC's, 123's, shapes, colors, Math-addition and subtraction, words to read, and pockets for special study items. They also have another folder that we get on Friday with all the weeks finished assignments and we return on Monday. Monday is sharing day and also Library day. Whew..sounds a little complicated because of all the different days for this and that, but we have adapted well. So recap- Monday (sharing day, library day, turn in assignment folder empty. Take home homework binder for study) Wednesday return homework folder and take home homework folder with new lessons. Thursday we return the homework binder and take a quiz. Friday we get the assignment folder full of the weeks work, and so on. Sounds very confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it...it's not that hard.
Today is Joey's Grandma Emma's birthday. Unfortunately she was in the hospital, due to a nasty fall in her kitchen which resulted in a broken hip. All of us got together and visited her for the day, with cakes (yes, more than one...we are piggies) and gifts. Hopefully she enjoyed herself, even though she would have rather not been where she was. She is expected to make a full recovery and be home within the week! We love you grandma Emma, hope you had a great day!
Today is my little ones first day of school, and also my older ones first day of College. I can hardly believe it! My son is in Kindergarten and my daughter is taking classes for Accounting. Today I am so very proud of both of them...there are no words to describe my happiness.
I tried this grocery store today, it's called Fresh and Easy. I had heard of it, but had never gone. Well I am a very happy camper. They had lots of discounts, I had heard this from Veronica (my sisters sister-in-law) and wanted to check for myself. I took a picture of what I got and only paid $35.00. I got 3 packs of chicken, and there were 12 pieces in each one, 2 2pound packages of ground beef, 4 boxes of honey bunches of Oats cereal, 2 loaves of bread, 2 packages of pita bread, 3 boxes of corn bread mix, 2 containers of salmon dip, 2 boxes of crackers, a container of pasta mix, a bag of fresh spinach, and arugola and last but not least a head of lettuce.
Today was Ronnie's 61st birthday. He says he is going to turn it around and make it a 16...HaHaHa...If only that was possible. He got phone calls and gifts, and thats more than he could have asked for. "It's just another day" he said...He didn't want a fuss made. Love you Big Ron...Some call him that.
My grandfather turned 90 today. We all celebrated at the clubhouse in the mobile home park where his sisters live. He got a BBQ from his daughters and lots of $$ from everyone else. I made his cake, it was a hunters theme since he always hunted whenever he could, and had cupcakes on the side. I will post pictures on a later date...Sarah took pictures and has not put them on my computer just yet.
