Lord, move in a way that I've never seen before. There's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door. I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore. So Lord move, or move me.

So we're still working on The Tale of Peter Rabbit. With the Fold-N-Learn from Five in a Row and all of the goodies we found at Homeschool Share, we've had plenty to keep us busy for awhile! Adisson's still really enjoying this book. I love it when he really enjoys what we're working on, it makes it so much easier and way more fun.
A few weeks ago we started a Notebook. I just grabbed an unused one subject spiral bound notebook we had already. I wanted to use something inexpensive in case it wasn't something we decided to stick with. Well, Adisson really likes it. He loves flipping through what we've already learned and reviewing it. I like it too because I think that just helps cement past topics in his head, at least for now. :) Next year we'll get a nicer notebook. In the meantime, he's SO EXCITED to show his grandparents his notebook when they come to visit this weekend.
I'm still working on some Tot School goodies. I've decided to have 15 activities ready to go and then plan out the five we are going to use for the week. I want to work on Letter of the Week stuff with him, but he's just not interested in it. I don't want to make him do any of it...he's just 2. But I would like to print off some coloring pages, either just to color (ie. something fun like an Easter egg) or something to color that is a little more educational (ie. a letter or number coloring sheet) so he can work on that as well as his other activity.
We're also working on some Easter activities this week. Yesterday we made a tomb from salt dough. I'm hoping we did it ok because it is not turning out exactly as I had hoped, but there's still time for it to work out. :) We're also making some other crafts I found in Five in a Row Holiday and our Easter Fold-N-Learn from Five in a Row. I love making new traditions. :) I just love thinking about when the boys grow older that they'll remember holiday traditions with fondness and remember what fun we had doing them as they were growing up. I'm hoping to post pictures soon, just as soon as I get the camera all gathered up. :)
We're waiting on some important decisions from the Army this week. Pretty big decisions. I'm praying and praying for this situation. I'll let you know how things go...and what has been decided once it's been decided. :)
