Getting there...slowly

the only bad thing about xmas shopping on line is the waiting! Everything is now ordered and am just waiting for it all to either be delivered here or to its recipients. I just hope that everything arrives in time and that I have not placed too much faith in the postal service!!

We have had a very snotty week as both sam and I have colds. Yesterday we spent sunuggled on the sofa watching dvds and napping. Today we made it to french but sam's snuffles are getting worse so not sure what the weekend will hold. At least we are getting all our bugs out of the way before xmas, there is nothing worse than feeling under the weather on xmas day.

Not so much formal schooling this week, though we are now up to date on our raddish project and sam has started Singapore Math 3A which is designed for third graders. He is taking it all in his stride and hasn't batted an eyelid at progessing to the thousands column.

We spent last weekend at M's parents to help his mother celebrate her birthday. We had a lovely time and they were gracious enough to not mind that the dogs covered their kitchen floor in mud! It rained all weekend and everytime the dogs came in they were covered in mud. We got to see my sil, bil and my nephews. It was lovely to catch up with them as we hadn't seen them since september. One of the hits of the weekend was watching everyone play on the pedalo that I got from my friend C who has a great website: www.thewoodentoycompany.com. Everyone had fun attempting to stay balanced and all of the boys were great. Will post a few photos once I have downloaded them.

Managed to persuade sam to watch high school musical 2 and surprise, surprise he enjoyed it! I expected lots of protesting as it doesn't involve super heros and saving the world but he really liked it. He went to bed trying to create the perfect musical with our dogs! Not sure how muscial Rogue is but Miko is very chatty! He even asked if we could rent the first high school musical. If only high school had really been like high school musical I would have had a lot more fun, then again maybe not I would have been too concerned about my gpa to let my hair down.
