Slacker

So I've been really bad about doing my pits and peaks this week. So there wont be a post on Sunday with them. I will hopefully start fresh on Monday. School has been going well! She now knows what an A is. :) woo hoo. Tuesday we took some time to go play with some friends! We went to the splash park, Whitnee really enjoyed it. Life has been pretty good for us this week! Since school has started life has slowed down a little but for us. Speaking of schools, we have found a preschool for Whitnee and I'm so excited! I've got to get all the stuff put together and take it up there to put her on the waiting list for next year. Is she really old enough to start school? Wow! Time sure is flying by!
Hope you are all having a great week'.

First Day of Home School

Today was the first day of our little adventure we are calling school. Whitnee has known her ABCs for a long time now but as far as knowing her letters she isn't very good. So we are taking a letter a week and doing stuff that goes around that letter. Today we made apple prints, ate crockpot apple sauce, and colored the letter A. Whitnee did very well. She has been asking me for a long time if she could go to school so that's why I've started this now. Next year she will go to preschool and then the year after that my baby will be in Kindergarden! WOW! Here is a couple of pictures from our day.

Ideas...

Yet again I have been gone for some time, and there has been no rhyme or reason to my posts so I'm starting something new.

As of this week my goal is to blog ever week, I'm going to keep track of all the silly things Whitnee says are does through the week and post them here. I'm also going to write down my peak (high) of every day and the pit (low) of the day then blog them. I'm also going to do a specific praise of the day and then a prayer request for the day. I want to be able to look back on this blog one day and remember all the many things Whitnee said and then see all the prayers God has answered. I will end this blog with some things Whitnee has said in the past couple of weeks

  • While out side playing Whitnee got her chair and told me shew as looking for the shave, also known as the shade. :D
  • Whitnee was telling her daddy when he got home to not park his motorcycle in the garage 'cause there is a lots of stuff in there.
  • Getting dinner and a man asked Whitnee where she got her hair from, for those of you who don't actually know us Whitnee has super white hair, and she said from my mommies house.
  • Whitnee and her Meme were drawing on her Meme was showing her how she draws eyes and Whitnee says wow that's cool.
We have so much fun with her!

So I'm also going to download the blogger app for my phone and maybe that will keep me responsible for doing my blogs. :D Hope you all have a great weekend! We are headed for a little get way with our princess and some friends!
