reallife.kids SPLASH and other stuff.

Just a few more days for our kids SPLASH. I absolutely love events. Its fun to get everyone together and just have a blast. Just have some fun. Everyone needs fun you know. I pray that saturday will be very hot. My plan is to have everyone soaked. Hope no one has plans to stay dray at our water party! I've got my whole team involved and I am sooo excited about that. Even Pam in Shirley will get wet!

oh, I had a d&c on tuesday morning. everything went fine. i am feeling good. I am anticipating being able to swim on saturday. Thanks Jeannie for the German Chocolate Cake. It was wonderful. I'm almost done with it!

Abe and Deb are you guys back online yet? June wasn't it - when your media fast was going to be over?? they've got me thinking about homeschooling stuff. I hate workbooks. I never liked them when I worked at school. Everyday was just turn the page in your workbook. I like hands on learning. I like projects. Fun stuff. I know there is a time and place for workbooks, but that would get pretty boring for me. I ordered a curriculum catalogue - but don't know if I'll find what I want. Anyways, Laras, was just wondering if you'd found great hands on curriculum in your homeschooling search. Jeannie weren't you thinking about it too?? Oh, I don't know - it would be work.

I feel like everything is just around the corner! kids SPLASH is finally here. the Mexico trip is coming upon us. Then kids camp is on its way. then well have a summer outreach event - something different this year. then the summer is gone! it hasn't even started, but its gone. we finish one great thing and begin planning for the next. Of course there are lots of days in between for us to do personal stuff - hmmm what personal family plans shall I have. I should come up with some.

Jorge has been finishing Cathy's playhouse. He's putting in sheetrock and electricity. Also linoleum on the bottom floor and carpet on the top floor. she want's him to have it finished by friday so she and Isabel can spend the night outside! I am excited for her.

Jorge is planning an anniversary vacation for he and I. That is just driving me crazy! I almost can't stand not knowing.

Maybe I should have a summer cousin camp! Hmmm. plan some activities, some field trips. Hmm. when Abe had cousin camp he had the kids up at dawn. not here - i'll let them stay up till midnight or something, just hoping that they will sleep in some - with my luck they won't!

Hi Maggie,
I'm so glad ur feeling good and also that ur d&c went well.
Alyssa is getting excited for Saturday, she just got a new swimming suit last week, and she is also very happy that school is almost out. Like you said summer is here and its already over. My mom and I went down to City Hall to sign up Alyssa and my niece for some summer rec activities and they're already full, they only have a couple spots left for swimming lessons, but of course the girls didn't want to do that one.
I will be dropping Alyssa off at the Babcocks on Saturday, but she will need a ride to my moms house afterwards please, cuz I'm working that day till 10pm.
I applied for a new job and had an interview yesterday, they told me it will take up to 2 weeks for them to know anything, but could be less. I hope and pray I get it, cuz its day time hours, and no weekends unless you want to. I look forward to change, cuz nights is just too hard on Alyssa, having to wake her up when I get off work to take her home, and I only get a couple hours with her before school. Just not enough 'mommy, daughter time'.
Hope ur week is going well Maggie, talk to you soon.
love ya,
Jen
