What Can I Say?

First of all, let me plug my Cafe Press shop here: www.cafepress.com/Heidistufforama. What can I say? I need money and if there is anyone who has some to spend, I would hope they would consider my shop. Hee hee!

That was pretty blatant and I apologize... somewhat! :-) (Wow! I went to look up "blatant" in the dictionary - I do not trust my spelling - and I had to blow dust off the cover. Sad! And, yes... I know that there are online dictionaries, but I prefer the old, fashioned method of turning pages and sifting through words... more interesting that way.)

Yesterday was a good day with the little men... we are doing what we call "Mommy School" and yesterday was the first day. We get up, have breakfast, and then start Mommy School. I have planned practice with writing and math, some art projects, book reading, and other fun stuff to keep the boys on their toes... so that they don't lose all their education in front of the TV and computer this summer... oh, and sometimes we spend time outside. ;-)

I have said it here before and I will mention it here again, I am not one of those mom's that is too willing to go to the pool nor take them everywhere, everyday for lessons of this kind or the other. I think we are plenty busy enough. Tae Kwon Do is two-three times a week... they had zoo day camp last week and will have vacation Bible School in July. I will try to get in some swimming lessons sometime before school starts in August.

It is terrible, but I always feel the need to justify my choices with the boys... probably because I feel like we are so different from everyone else in our world around us.

ANYWAY (said with a big sigh)... I was going to talk about what a GOOD day we had!

Mommy School had the boys writing, doing math, figuring out word sounds, doing fingerprint art, solving a maze, reading, learning about parts of the body, playing catch and "Red Light, Green Light"... we had fun! And then after lunch we headed to the zoo to see The Birdman show and riding the zoo train. The rest of the day they were spoiled with a couple of TV shows and some computer game time. (It was too miserable to go outside!)

BUT... I did promise the Slip 'n' Slide and we ran out of time with Mommy having Hope Stampers (a card making ministry at church) and Daddy coming home late from work. So... we will have to find time to do that today... but probably after Tae Kwon Do??? We will have to see.

Quick post here for now... it's time for Mommy School!!! (No one at school in the fall will understand what the boys are talking about... oh well.)
