I have finally done it... enrolled my kiddos into public school!!! *sigh* It was one of the hardest things I have ever done and I hope in the end that it pays off!! We did it yesterday, yeah I know, nothing like waiting til the last minute! But hey it got done and we are excited for our kids, who are EXTREMELY happy about it. Our younger daughter will be going into Kindergarten and is very happy. Her teacher is super sweet and has a lot of years of experience so that is comforting to me. I just feel sorry for her if she ever catches a glimpse at the REAL child. Cuz it is not a pretty site!! Our other daughter is going to be in an eMINTS class, which means there is a computer for every 2 students and they will be spending a lot of time doing things with Excel and Powerpoint and learning on the computer instead of just books. They also have a website, digital camera, scanner, and a bunch of other up to date Electronic equipment. There is only 1 class in her grade that has this and she got lucky to get into that program. My oldest is also in an eMINTS class and the same goes for him. All the same stuff and from what the teacher says a LOT of creative work and thinking will be part of her class... so LOTS of READING, WRITING, and typing for the kiddo, which he HATES reading and WRITING so it will be a huge thing for him. All 3 of the teachers that they have are women and all of them seem to be exceptional.
Everyone keeps saying, well what are you going to do with all that FREE time and how are you going to do without them, HOW EXCITING for you... well lemme tell ya, EXCITING is not the word I am thinking when it comes to 3 of my 4 kiddos leaving. NERVOUS is a LOT more like it!! Yes, I know that there are a lot of parents that do this, but you know what, I did enjoy teaching my kids and having them here and it really is not all that exciting for me, more like NERVE RACKING!!! Of course I will still have the youngest home with me, but still, it wont be the same!! Tomorrow is their first day of school. I will have to blog how I did, and how THEY did on their first day to school.
Tonight hubby and I have tickets to the baseball game!!! One of their vendors gave my hubbies office tickets and since he knew the vendor he got a couple of the tickets. They are great 1st baseline tickets, I think 5 rows back from the dugout. I am really excited!!! It will be our first time to the new stadium. Of course school starts tomorrow, but my mom is going to be the ones watching them so I think that everything will be fine with the kids.
Saturday we are FINALLY going to have a scrapbooking day. Its been quite a while since we have been able to have one so it will be exciting to finally have another one. Not sure what I am going to scrapbook yet, but I am sure I will figure something out! I am thinking V's stay in the hospital, but I am not positive yet. Ok, well I have to get the kids ready to go and take their school supplies up to school since there is so much of it.
On another note, my grandma is still not doing too good, she seems to be getting a little bit stronger each day but it is a really slow process. I saw her for a few minutes last night and she was weak and was slurring her words pretty bad. But it was 8:30 when I saw her so I am sure that the fact that it was so late in the evening did not help out. OK, well kids are going wild, better go tame them!
