Busy day at work but it was a good day and I got a lot done. I picked the kids up at 4pm but we were leaving and J had to go to the restroom so I had him go back inside. After a while we were leaving again and I remembered that there was a function there that evening. I asked and was informed it started at 5pm. I took the kids over to the playground where they played for about 30-40 minutes. We went back to the school and I was able to listen to the presentation from the SAY Behavioral Specialist. I love all the information - I need all the good ideas/techniques I can get! The kids came in with us after about 15 minutes and we all ate pizza together and they gave us poster board to make either house rules or daily schedule on. Each of the kids got creative with a poster and I brought one home to complete for the kids.
We have a routine when we get home that the kids will hang up their coats and backpacks and put their red folders and lunchboxes on the counter. I mentioned this to them on the way home and when I parked the car. A got into the house before I did as I had so much stuff to carry in. I saw her coat and lunchbox on the floor of the living room! I gave her a few minutes to come put them away as I was putting away all my things. When I saw her, she was on the Blackberry Dr. Park had given to me! I took it away from her, "because you didn't do what I asked the first time." (She had taken that phone to school without Darin or I knowing about it and she got in trouble a couple times at PrimeTime for having it...
I had J take a bath and wash his hair (he had me help him.) After he got out A got in. J was playing and when A got out, in her jammies and teeth brushed, I let her watch about 15min of Matilda on youtube. J brushed his teeth at the same time I did (while A was on the computer) and when he was done he got into bed. I covered him up and said a prayer and he followed up with one himself (it didn't make sense to me though so not sure what he said...) I had A go to bed after the timer went off for the computer and I guess she fell asleep w/Darin. Pink room again for me tonight. (I have been sleeping in here for a while because the last couple times I slept in our room the Jacuzzi heater (?) went off at 4:30 am waking me up. I asked him to change the time on it and tonight when I got home I asked if he had changed it but he said not yet...)
I was checking my email and saw someone from the homeschool group suggested LiveMocha for learning another language. I thought I had signed up to it a long time ago and got on it again to check it out. I was doing a beginners lesson when I received a request to chat. I accepted and found out she is from Santiago, Chile and she is trying to learn English as she wants to be an English teacher. It felt weird correcting her English when she asked something a little off but that is what she wanted. :)
Night!
