A Great First Day

We had a fantastic first day of school yesterday. I was up at 6. Jack woke up about 7 and Katrina got up about 8:00 with some prompting.

Before school started, I put away dishes, fed the cats, helped Katrina with feeding the rabbits, did some laundry, caught up on my emails and RSS feeds, played Phase 10 with Jack, took a shower, had breakfast and had devotions.

By 11:30, we were done with our school for today (we finished a bit early as our science curriculum hasn't arrived yet. I got some Ebay work done and laundry folded while the kids worked and when I wasn't working with them. I also made up my shopping lists for the day.

We had lunch and left around 12:30. We had a bunch of errands to run (including recycling, going by the post office, and buying household items). We also went to see Nancy Drew which Katrina and I really enjoyed. Jack said it wasn't as good as he thought it would be...maybe because it was girl centered? We got home a bit after 6 and put away the groceries. I made Black Bean and Corn Ranch salad and Cherries and Chocolate fudge that we will be taking with us to dinner with friends this evening. I got the dishes done, finished my Ebay work and my VaBay work, talked with y mom and helped the kids some with a project they started yesterday on their own.

They are both writing plays. Katrina's is about some woodland friends and Jack's is about pirates. They will be in each other's plays. I am in charge of typing up their words for ease of reading (Jack's writing is terrible and Katrina's spelling is...phonetic!). I also have to help with costumes. Daniel is in charge of providing music. They are going to present their plays next Thursday when their grandparents are here (and other family members). It should be fun!

Well, off to another great day:) Hope yours will be awesome as well!
