Friday we went to the annual back to no school picnic in LI, the kids had a great time, playing with friends, F met up with about 5 of his hs friends and had a blast running around the playground with them.
I met up with some moms whom I haven't seen in a little while, so it was nice.
There were at least 100 people there, the kids did a parade of 100 things, F had his rock collection, and the other kids had various 100 things creations, one boy had 100 math questions that he had solved over the summer.
The only draw back to it was it took us a looong time to get there, between an accident that shut down the belt pkwy and getting lost only abt 1/2 mile from the park(we have never been there) the directions I got from online were wrong....so it took so much longer than it would have. But......
One of the moms gave me some really great books/workbooks that her kids had never used which we will really get much use out of. I will give her my old novels that I no longer want (so it works out fair :)
Once we got home though I got so sick I went to bed and stayed there until Saturday...
My mom bought J a K workbook (even though she is in pre-K I checked it out and it's very similar to the things we are doing now with her..colors, shapes, beginning to write her letters and numbers etc..so I figured we will use it anyway and she loves it..she took it out last night and did about 5 pages in it...she followed directions and everything....
F has been doing a few pages in his new work books as well, reading the library books we borrowed, and playing card games. I figure next week we will really get into the flow of things with F's writing class starting and the research he will have to start about Peruvian foods.
I am so excited about the start of J's dance classes next week....I bought her shoes and everything already...I know she will love it and she will have the chance to make friends who live in our area since the school is only about 10 blocks from our apt.
