Play Houses Part 4

The Lorax- My favorite play house of all!! Oh, I mean, the girls' favorite play house of all :0)







Alice in Wonderland

We are either reading the book or watching the movie about most of the Play Houses we saw. Then, we are discussing what is learned from the story and making a lapbook. The Lorax was one of the best reads.
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful l0t, nothing is going to get better; it's just not."

I decided to go ahead and post the pictures of the playhouses. I was waiting until we complete the lap books about them, but it might be awhile for that. We are currently working on a different lap book, so I am not sure when we will get to the lapbooks about the play house stories. Anyway, enjoy the pics!

My "days off"

Back to my post from a few days ago regarding what I do for a living:
http://ilovemykids08.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-do-you-do.html
Today is one of my "days off", but it is always one of my busiest days ever. This is what I have to do today:

1. pack up and ship Ebay items & list as many new items as time allows (4 hours)
2. complete data entry for 2 of the "shop" jobs I did yesterday (1 hour)
3. complete data entry for audit job that I did yesterday (4 hours)
4. do laundry (1 hour)
5. preparing meals & general mommy duties ( 1 1/2 hours)
6. home school work (1 hour)
7. spend time with the kids to make up for the time that I had to work all day (2 hours)

It is so easy to go to a job and do my work. It really is. I just go, and focus on getting my work done all day. I can even take a break every few hours (if I decide to stop,which I usually don't). Here at the house, the girls don't understand why I can't play with them all day long. I can be very stressful, but I would rather be here with them than away in an office while they are at day care.

My baby is potty-trained!!!

Yay!!! No more diapers!! Morgan decided to use the potty, and has been going regularly. She even wore her underwear to bed and didn't have an accident!! The great part is that now both kids are out of diapers & there are no babies in the oven!!! So, I have a big break from diapers!

Spring Hip Hop Showcase 2009

Jaden & Morgan aren't in any of these dance videos, but for those of you who enjoy dance... These are for you. We always leave the showcase right after Jaden & Morgan finish their routine because LeCount doesn't enjoy any of it. I love watching the routines, especially when the little ones are involved. They are too cute!!
