Sam wanted a game of chess this morning. I love that he picked this game up so fast!! I guess he likes it because it's based on a 'battle' - he knows how to set it all up and how the pieces move. I won the game BUT I had ten of his pieces and he had nine of mine - so all in al it was a very close game!!!
While we were playing, Grayson was supervising us closely....and Abigail was working on her blog, replying to Emails and surfing on some of her favourite websites of the moment - The Crafty Crow and Dr Seuss etc etc
This morning we've also spent a lot of time rereading the library books one last time as we are heading back with them...Sam is working on a craft project (as I write this), Sam did some math, we tidied some of Abby's room, I've done some laundry and washed some floors, and Denis and Mike (our wonderful work guys) came out to check out the railings that the other company did.
We DID have friends coming over for the afternoon, but we woke up to an Email saying they couldn't make it as the Mom isn't well. We hope she is better very quickly! We were going to bake cupcakes to share with them - and my two still want to do that, so instead of doing that this morning, we plan to do that this afternoon - and will also head out for a walk to enjoy the gorgeous weather. I know they want to ice and decorate the cupcakes with all kinds of sprinkles :)
Today was 'sign up for classes day' - Lloyd always gets in to work extra early to be sure to get online in time to get logged in to the registration thingy on time - often the classes fill up FAST!! Luckily we got the classes we wanted. YAY!!! Abby is taking a break from regular art classes and is doing dance for a semester. She will do an occasional set of specialised art though as the art department are running some fab art classes for the homeschool sector this semester. A friend of hers told us about a new dance class they are starting though, and we signed up for that!
Sam is heading back to a class he used to love and one that works out better for us as it means we can get back to our regular weekly swims, runs and skating.
Laurence is signing up for a tumbling class in preparation for cheer try outs at his new High School. Even if he doesn't make it I think it will be a fun experience for him and he enjoys being physically active!!
All change for a new Semester after Easter :)
