Day 3 of official homeschool kindergarten with my two girls went well! Girls are enjoying their new curriculum, and I’m enjoying having it laid out for me. No more tearing out my hair to figure out what to do with them!

Sarah: Mommy, I’ve been thinking. You know, about when Jesus makes the New Jewoosalem? I think I need to walk around, and see where we’ll sleep, and where we’ll eat bweakfast and stuff.

Our Kindergarten curriculum just arrived! The kids are so excited, they want to start school RIGHT NOW. I had a hard time convincing them I have to read through it and get prepared before we can start. LOL

Sugar cookies are coming out of the oven for this afternoon’s decorating party with the homeschool group. Didn’t want to bake them but didn’t have time to get to the bakery at Walmart to buy them, and the grocery store didn’t have what I wanted. Had to go with “slice-n-bake” Pillsbury. This week is just too crazy!

Sarah had a notebook in the car that she had scribbled “humps, because I can’t write letters” on several pages. She told us that it was the story of Zaccheus and she was going to read it to us.

“Zaccheus was a wee little man, and he didn’t know what to do. So he climbed up in a sycamore tree and he got sick. He got sick for every day because he climbed up in the sycamore tree. The Lord came by and Zaccheus didn’t know what to do, so he asked God. God told him to pray. So he prayeded. ‘Dear Jesus, thank you for the wonderful day. Help me to know what to do. I love you, amen.’ He was a wonderful man.”

I may have left out a line or two, she was rambling quite a lot, and I didn’t have time to write it down, LOL.

I’m still working on my Project 365 blog, but for continuity and for some of my friends who I know come to The Little Zoo site and probably not the other, I’ll be importing the posts from the Project 365 over here occasionally. Any post labeled “Day x” is a Project 365 entry and is indicating how far into the project that particular entry was posted. Hope this isn’t too confusing to you!

Be sure to click “Previous Entries” at the bottom of the page - there may be more entries imported over that you haven’t seen yet!

Thursday at the park with the homeschool group again.

I took the kids in to have portraits taken today. The results are posted in my Facebook album (it should be a public link), but here’s a shot I snagged with my camera phone while the photographer wasn’t looking. Funny how different it looks watching the portraits than the results.

The kids really like watching the popcorn pop in my Stir-Crazy! Looks like I got a bit too much in this batch.

Sleeping babes in car seats. So sweet.
