The week is over and we are the proud owners of BLACK toner… so now… cyan is getting low… FIGURES! BUT for now we can get going on our printing again. So I did up some more math sheets, colouring pages and even some jokes – all dinosaur themed. Once I get the print outs done for the lapbook I plan on posting some of those links so keep an eye peeled!
Gavin has almost finished his Lightning McQueen workbook – he got all the way down to subtraction before I had to call it a day as he wasn’t focusing and kept confusing it with addition. We really need to get the counting rods. The little blocks we have from our preK curriculum work find but we only have 20 of them which is not enough for both boys to do it or to go beyond 20. I am hoping to find a few more workbooks at the dollarstore tomorrow or something. Reinforcing with different versions and mediums. Our focus on reading has slipped so we definitely have to return to that.
All 4 of the big kids went out in the backyard to play in the fall weather… well until Emanuel had a fit due to Zander pushing him on the slide and Gavin tried to stop him from crying by covering his mouth… I figured it was best to just bring everyone in. It is taking a little adjusting to get them all used to have to wear shoes and sweaters. A couple times I have peeked out and found them in barefeet and it is a little too cold for that. In some areas in Alberta there has already been a bit of snow! Certainly makes it more important to start trying on the winter gear and check and see who is not ready – Emanuel most certainly IS with lots to choose from! But Trinity and the twins… I am not sure about them. I am hoping the lovely pants and coat I got off of Kijiji for Trinity still fit! And have noticed that at Superstore winter coats are 40.00 a piece. Winter in Alberta means we HAVE TO have the gear. As it is we turned on the furnace this week!
When we ran out for groceries today I checked at Superstore to see which boots would fit Trinity but the selection was less than stellar. I am hoping the one near mom will have more, after all it won’t be that long before we visit her again. She has cookie dough we bought from her for a fundraiser!
Tomorrow is shaping up to be busy – there is a Thomas thing at Toys’r’Us in the morning, and a 15% off total purchase coupon at Michaels. I need to go to Dollarama for some bits and bobs and hopefully Fabricland for some supplies to make Echo’s headbands. Busy busy… tonight is homemade pita pizzas and Dr. Who and IT Crowd with Ted. Great ending to the week if nothing else!
