Here are our highlights of the week. There were a few "lowlights" too, but I won't get into those now.
1. Yesterday the girls and I (ok, mostly just myself) finally got our loft, aka school room in order for the year. The room is almost completely finished. I have a couple more furniture pieces to purchase and some new chairs and then we are done. But right now the room looks much more organized and inviting than it did over the summer. Yeah!
2. Karley is beginning to correctly guess the starting letter of some words. She is understanding that the letters each make a different sound and is showing interest in knowing what those letter sounds are.
3. Julia did her first real cartwheels and kick up to hand stands this week!!! Not only that but she has finally figured out how to do seatdrops on the trampoline! Her strength and her confidence are flourishing right now!
4. I discovered this week that after several months of piano playing my fingers are stonger than John's!!! I can do things with my 4th and 5th fingers that he cannot. Yippee. For once I can say that I am stronger than him.
5. We got to do a science lab in the kitchen. Julia thought it was fabulous.
6. Tomorrow morning we are doing another science lab outside. We decided to wait until the weekend for dad to join us too. Julia is very excited to go on a nature walk and do her plot study. She has our bag all packed.
7. There are only four school days next week!

Looks like you guys are off to a great start! Good luck with the new school year. We start in one week (and counting). The boys and Allie can't wait. Mom really can't wait!
