A Little of This, A Little of That

Been almost a week since I have been on here.  I guess that is more realistic for the business of a Mom with 2 small kids.  We are ALMOST fully recovered from our colds.  All of us still with some form of congestion.  I feel almost 100%.  Annabelle has that residual cough, that turns heads when we have to venture out.  I KNOW, I know keep my kids at home.  But come on, we have to eat!  Joey is cutting another tooth!  I told Michael yesterday that that kid has been teething since he was 6 months old!  Seriously, it affects the little guy so much.  When Annabelle was a baby, I never knew she was teething.  She would just sport a new tooth every once in a while.  Joey is the example baby/toddler for teething fussiness!

We are getting ready for school!  I found this AMAZING on-line FREE curriculum for Annabelle!  ABCJesuslovesme.com.  The site has pre-tests to determine where your child is academically.  I loved that!  I almost had Annabelle do the 4 year old program, but I figured we would go through the 3 year at her pace, just to make sure she knows everything.  I am taking this homeschooling very seriously!  I was home-schooled as a kid, and it was a disaster!  No offense to anyone in my family.  I just think it was not the right choice for our family.

Annabelle is also doing ABCmouse.com.  This is AMAZING on-line activities that she does everyday.  She LOVES that.  I actually have to monitor how much time she spends on it, because it counts as screen time for her.  I am all ready for next week!

This schedule template was on ABCJesuslovesme.com tailored to our needs.

I LOVE this!  Our weekly objectives on the fridge.  Dad can work with her, too!

My organizational skills!  LOL.  Our craft shelf!

Onto Mommy news.  I got an early anniversary present.  I found a gently used Garmin forerunner 110 on craigslist for $100 (normally over $200 watch)!  Sweet husband!  I have used it for 3 runs now, and I am IN LOVE!  LOL.   It is a GPS watch that tracks speed, distance, HR, etc.  Super accurate, compared to MAPMYRUN, which was what I had been using!  This will be great for pacing at races!

Like my color scheme?  Oh, dear!

7 mile tempo run this morning at 6am.  Home just after 7am!  Getting prepared for our new school schedule which starts next week!

Happy Tuesday!
