Want to start your day off on a great note? Have something lovely come in the mail! I joined a great cross stitching/sewing chat email group a month or two ago called Christiancross_Stitch. Today we received a lovely postcard from one of the members who lives in Malaysia! The kids were so excited to see it, and on the back… a stamp that looks a bit like one of Hello Kitty’s friends – something Trinity jumped on right away!
Thanks Anne!
AND another creation by our resident artist/budding architect Gavin – a Penguin who is ALSO eating a fish (the grey piece at the beak)… seriously how does he come up with all of this? Inspired I tell you!

From the side
Today’s chapter in our book we went over the two names we learned for different swans – cob for the male and cygnets for the babies. No matter what we do activity wise it has to end with a picture for these two lately. And they are actually BOTH taking their time!
All done
The kids are VERY bored right now… last night I made the final push to pack ALL their school stuff – but not seal the boxes, so now the couch is covered in boxes that the kids have permission to rifle through and find activities and then PUT BACK when they are done. I just want the upstairs done and packed (you don’t want to see what our closet looks like full of hanging clothing). We finally have a netbook for kids that is theirs for schooling alone! So now we are working on a way to have them do specific activities easily… as well as finding a typing program that could get them started with the keyboard recognition!
Computer time
The van is to go in early tomorrow morning for repairs. If they cannot be completed tomorrow Ken will find another way to get the boys to Sunday School for their final party and then get a ride most likely for Sean and solo it to meet our potentially new landlords. Not the plan I like but it works. I am still well into panic mode with the end of the month coming right at us and the unfinished errands heaping up.
I just want to move on literally and figuratively…
Up on her hands and knees!!!!
