* Anika got up and made her way to the bathroom to get dressed. While she was doing that I ran to the little store (it's right beside where we live) and got pop and sausage!
* I called and talked to my Mom for a bit. My Aunt took a bad spell yesterday and my Mom spent the night with her at the hospital. She seems some better this morning. They are talking about putting her in an in house pulmonary rehabilitation center.
* I fixed the kids some breakfast- they both were awake at this point. I fried some sausage and made some biscuits.
* While breakfast was cooking, I made a store list. I hadn't planned on going to the store but they are forecasting an ice storm for us so I thought I better just in case.
* We ate breakfast, Anika did her makeup and then I got dressed for the day. Axle ate so good this morning, he loves sausage.
* My daily dressing included jeans, a striped shirt and a denim button up. I had to sport floral shoes though because Lee got them for me for Christmas and continues to ask why I don't like them. It's not that I don't like them, it's that it's really cold out. She doesn't take that for an answer!
* We started our morning school work. We worked in our journals, read a story and then did some cutting practice. I found some cute cutting worksheets online that were winter themed so the kids used them to practice cutting on
* While we did our morning work, Anika straightened up the place. It wasn't too awfully bad so it didn't take too long.
* I took the dogs out for a walk and Anika got the kids shoes on. Then we headed out to town to get some supplies
* We had to go to the grocery store first. I went to Save a Lot because it's cheaper but couldn't get everything I needed so I had to go to Food City as well. After that I ran through the tobacco store to get SJ some tobacco. I also ran to Goody's to exchange two tops I got BUT their computers are down and won't be back up and running until the 11th. I thought that was an awfully long time.
* We came back to the apartment, got everything put away & got cartoons turned on for Lee. Ax whined relentlessly because he got grounded from electronics the rest of the day due to throwing a fit and not wanting to participate in school work this morning. Poor boy, he's so hard headed!
* I took some time and worked in my scripture journal while everyone was occupied!
* By this time of the evening it was time for supper. I didn't have to do a thing for supper tonight. Anika has a recipe for a Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake that she makes so she made it for us. She even made us Garlic Bread and Side Salads too. It was delicious.
* While she was cooking, I did some Core Work with Lee. Her Core today consisted of reviewing the letters she already knows and practicing her new one's. She also practiced writing her A's and B's. She's getting very good at them. I had her identify numbers 1-10 using flash cards and then put them in order from smallest to largest. We also worked on reciting her birthday and we watched a counting video to 20.
* After her Core Work we all ate supper together and then Anika even cleaned up the dishes for me. I told her I was sure she was wanting something.
* Next up was Axle's Core Work. He's been in RARE form today so school was not easy with him today. First he reviewed his new sight words. After that he did his Phonics Program and read in his Reading book to me. Lastly he did his 2's addition facts. Now at first I had no plans on him working on memorizing his base addition facts but the more I thought about it the more sense it made. They are a building block for everything else he will be doing later on down the road.
* Our craft happened right after Core Work. We made Icecicles today using glue and salt. I thought they ended up turning out pretty cute.
* The kids had free time after our craft. Annalee used her time to watch cartoons and Ax used his to watch his big sister play the Sims. I guess if he was grounded from games he decided he'd just watch someone else.
* I did some more coloring in my new coloring book during this time, took a shower and watched a great movie with the husband. It was called San Andreas and was a wonderful movie about the fault line that runs through California! I really enjoyed it.
* We finished up our day with Tea Time and started a new book. We finished our first Junie B. Jones book a few days ago and started a new one tonight. Axle chose this series and we are really enjoying it.
* Things are winding down around here. I'm putting the kids in bed earlier tonight to see if that helps them. I'm going to do some Sweepstakes, Planning and so forth before calling it a night.
* From looking at the weather we will be here tomorrow. Anika has an appointment but I'm not sure we will make it. Guess we shall see
