Didn't get a lot done today...

Posted by: Emma in ,

But I do feel better. My head is not nearly as scattered as it was yesterday, but I still haven't found it in myself to be able to sit down and write a chapter, sooo, I am going to have to work on that this week, because, darn it, I have deadlines, even if they are self imposed.

Okay, enough complaining. I am setting up blogs for my 4-year-old, and my 6-year-old. Why? Because I am crazy, I think, and because they asked me too. I know it won't get a lot of use now, but, I am working on daily journaling with them anyway, and I know they will think it's cute. So, I am trying to find templates that they like and all that other jazz that goes with setting up a blog, but the plus side is we are having fun doing it, and they are learning a bit about computers and about how things don't always work the way they are supposed to.

I guess that's all for now.

The ROOF!!!

Posted by: Emma in

They started on the roof yesterday, and boy is that a loud project! And it goes on all week. I have no idea how I am supposed to make school work, but I am going to try. Oh, and I think I may have found a way to help Phoebe, at least with her numbers.

Penn's Colony 2008

Posted by: Emma in


Penn's Colony is an event that happens in the Pittsburgh Area once a year during the last two weekends of September. We had fun, the girls got to ride in a Surray (Horse & Cart) And the guy let my sister's son (almost 2-years) drive-with help, lol. The girls got these cool whistles, that sound just like birds. So they aren't too annoying. All in all, we basically had fun, and the girls want to do it again next year. Maybe I will have some of my own money to spend, because they do have some really cool stuff there.

Journals

Posted by: Emma in

I started journals with my girls this last week. It's helping me with communicating with Pink a little easier. She seems more than willing to just talk and talk and talk some more while I am filling in a page in her journal. She'll tell me everything, from how she felt about something, to why she did something she wasn't supposed to do. It's interesting, but it's like I am not even here while I write the entry for her. (She's only six, so she can't really write everything on her own yet, and I kind of like this look into her life right now) And Bugs, she just likes to tell me things, and she thinks it's cool that I am writing it down, but she' bluntly honest about things anyway. So, that's one more thing I've added to my life of things to do in a day, but it's well worth it to finally learn how to communicate with one of my kids.
