It's Saturday morning! There's nothing better than having two whole days of not working to look forward to. Well, if "not working" includes doing all the laundry, cleaning the house and entertaining a 3 and 5 year old. It's still not sitting in my cube watching Excel television all day.
Two whole days away from school. Except for Brigid.
Paul just left with Brigid a few minutes ago to take her to her German class. She had 3 weeks of all day intensive learning at a German summer camp in June. We spent 2 weeks in Germany where the only English we heard was coming out of my mouth. Now she's spending her Saturday morning continuing the learning experience. She really enjoys it, and the class is more about playing games and making crafts than sitting and learning. She has progressed beyond knowing one word in German (Ice = ice cream) to probably 20 or more words, especially if you count her numbers. We were in a very rural area of the country, so she knows most of her barn animals in German. Not sure if she'll need that here in Phoenix, but hey, learning is learning.
After I finish writing this, I'll spend some quality one-on-one time with the boy. He did really well at school this week and managed to get through the whole week without biting anyone. If only I could say the same! (kidding...) We're going to take a trip to the library and return the higepileofbooks I have covering my bedroom. I also have to pay my usual overdue fine. I just call it my own special way of supporting our public library system. You're welcome.
I have been getting many inpatient requests to see the 100+ pictures from Germany. I'm getting there! I am a busy mom you know. I'll also work on that this weekend and get them all uploaded and ready to share
