Blurry days

The last couple of days have been sort of a blur...nothing much going on, but our days seem full.

Monday...
We had a quiet day at home on Monday. The Littles were "off". I think everyone is missing daddy. It is harder for them to express what they are feeling, so it usually comes out in poor behavior.

We did manage to get quite a bit of school done, so that was good. I'm still trying to figure out how to implement SWR (Spell to Write and Read). I am just not sure this program is for me...a bit too rigid for my style. I am going to give it a go, but I'm having my doubts. Bessie and Gabe learned to read fine with a much easier, more laid back program, but I was thinking the Littles would need more structure as English is not their first language.

I took some time to just read today to the Littles. They enjoy being read to, as long as the books are short and have lots of pictures. I took turns with each of them having "laptime". Some days there is just never enough momma or momma's lap to go around. (And I have a large lap!)

The kids played outside in the afternoon. We watched a movie after dinner and everyone was in bed early.

Tuesday...
It was a cool rainy day today. Better rain than snow...at least this early in the season. Dan had nursery school. They did fire prevention today. He came home with a fireman's hat and Tot Finder sticker.

My computer starting giving me a hard time. It kept telling me my hard drive was full, but I had no idea why. I downloaded spyware software and it found 300+ spyware/adware/whatever ware! I deleted a bunch of files and did a disk clean. I enjoy fiddling with the computer, but I sure wish I understood more about what I was doing. There is probably so many more files I could delete to free up space.

Brian called and he made it to his destination. He was tired but doing well. He was going to take a run and drop off a Geocaching Travel Bug (TB). They were having a big barbecue in the evening to launch the new season.

Wednesday (today)....
So far, things have gone pretty well. Bessie and Gabe are doing schoolwork and the Littles are playing. I'll need to get Rachel and Hannah out here soon to so some seatwork.
